I dont think i ever did. I did a 2019 season rollcall, and had over 2000 post on the other forum, but i think this was just always a sticky that i never paid attention to on the last forum.
In defense to Pckfn, I always think you're a former member of ours, Dubyajay87. He hasn't been around for years though.
:idn:

im not
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.

Anyways, I know who you are. I wasn't meaning to come off like I didn't know of you. Apologies if it came off that way. :mrgreen: :aok:

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.

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.

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.

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 Germans

or the "you pee" of Michigan :o 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. :banana:

I have long been willing to annex the UP as part of Wisconsin. I'd gladly concede Racine and Kenosha to Illinois.

i didnt think it was proper to discuss further on this thread, but i just posted a question in the cheesehead chatter "Random Stuff" thread about camping in the UP or northern Wisconsin. If anyone has any experience i would be grateful for any tips. Thanks!

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.

Also, Jimmy Buffett has a song about Finland. "Finns to the left, Finns to the right ..." :lol:

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

I have been in the exact same spot since before the inception of this community, Somerset! Darlington, WI>Monroe, WI>River Falls, WI>Somerset, WI is my journey.
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." :lol:
