Oh, when I say I sometimes think you are... I'm talking about the name. For some reason my brain thinks there's a correlation between the two. I don't know, maybe it's the letters and the number 8.Drj820 wrote: ↑14 May 2020 12:20TheGreenMan wrote: ↑14 May 2020 12:17In defense to Pckfn, I always think you're a former member of ours, Dubyajay87.

There's little obvious reason to choose Finland as your holiday destination - we have no Pyramids, no great works, and no tan to get. But I can give you a few not-so-obvious ones.salmar80 wrote: ↑15 May 2020 16:28Jani
Helsinki -> Hämeenlinna -> Swansea (Wales) -> Hämeenlinna -> West Bend (WI) -> Hämeenlinna -> Parolannummi -> Helsinki -> Madrid (Spain) -> Helsinki.
Guess where I got the Packers fandom from....
I may be getting a new job soon that'll move me close or over the Russian border. That would be interesting.
Socialism works just fine if almost all people are responsible and WANT to work even if they don't need to. That is why it will NEVER work in the USA or really anywhere except Scandinavia. Not even Germany any more as so many people in Germany are not Germanssalmar80 wrote: ↑15 May 2020 17:34There's little obvious reason to choose Finland as your holiday destination - we have no Pyramids, no great works, and no tan to get.

The very bestest thing we have is a lot of space, quiet, and room to be at peace. Any visitor to Finland should rent a cabin by a lake for a weekend, or visit mine. Chop up some wood, heat up the sauna, take a walk in a forest, gather seasonal berries, whatever. It's all in beautiful nature, all stress swept aside. Nothing is complicated at the cottage.
If you go up North, there will be raindeer everywhere. They roam free, including on the roads. The air is so clear, you'll see so much more of our universe. If I find you laying in the snow, just watching the stars, maybe even aurora borealis, I'll just bring an extra blanket.
The society we have is an interesting one. If you think "socialism is an evil virus of Satan", then you'll find out how a country can do pretty well with it. Finns will tell you it's no Utopia, but somehow it works for us.
Sounds like northern Wisconsin.salmar80 wrote: ↑15 May 2020 17:34There's little obvious reason to choose Finland as your holiday destination - we have no Pyramids, no great works, and no tan to get. But I can give you a few not-so-obvious ones.salmar80 wrote: ↑15 May 2020 16:28Jani

or the "you pee" of Michigan actually I think 20% or more of yoopers are of Fin ancestry, I think we share about the same weather to, and I have deer in my backyard every morning, the borealis might be a bit brighter across the pond, I only know when there turned on here there bright enough, I left this area twice for greener pastures, never found it, so I keep coming back here, course I'd love to take a vacation to Finland though, that it's a lot like this place is what attracts me, I'am sure theres enough of a difference to entertain me.BF004 wrote: ↑18 May 2020 12:03Sounds like northern Wisconsin.salmar80 wrote: ↑15 May 2020 17:34There's little obvious reason to choose Finland as your holiday destination - we have no Pyramids, no great works, and no tan to get.

I have visited Helsinki, Sal, loved it, and would have been back in August if not for the problem we had with Corona beer. I guess. I get confused. Anyway, the trip got cancelled. Hope to make it next year. Love Helsinki, beautiful city, but looking forward to getting north. We have friends there we met when we visited last time and have stayed in contact with.salmar80 wrote: ↑15 May 2020 17:34There's little obvious reason to choose Finland as your holiday destination - we have no Pyramids, no great works, and no tan to get.

I'm still in Green Bay, but no longer live on the southwest side out by the airport, Brandon. I'm way over on the northeast side now by UWGB. Never could get used to those southsiders and their "y'alls."Pckfn23 wrote: ↑08 May 2020 18:07Here is the map of all the members:

Let me know if you aren't on there or are in the wrong place.
