Cabin #3 I think is in the center of everything..I have no problem with sharing my facilities..I would rather them use my potty than for me to take a nature walk and step in it..:)

Shoot..I don't even care if you put the T.P. back on the roll hanger thingy..those of you who are camping...you are welcome to use my facilities, floor or couch..

Thankyou Saw! Since there is so little for me to be able to do with the "Troy" situation, this gives me something to keep my mind occupied... and it keeps my funny bone intact too!

I'm really not worried about how things are going to come together, and you're right, it's still 6 months away! ARG! How am I going to wait that long!!

Luxury item #1-Sear's catalog. #2 Penney's catalog. WHEW! I thought that was why we were going to have corn-on-the-cob. I think it must be a Luxury REsort.:)

I know..I have tried unsuccessfully to convince my boss that paying me to visit this website is very productive to the company..

I got the "stare"

<sigh>

LOL! I've often wondered how much work I'd get out of our employees if we told them how to surf the net...

Saw, it's really easy to get to chat... just go to the top of this page and hit chat, then when the next screen comes up click on the first/top button... then it will ask for your screen name... you should get in that way.. You don't have to come now, I have to pick up my son in an hour but for future reference, I'd love to see you there!

Observances and Notables for Your Visit

Below is a list of general insignificant facts, mannerisms, norms, and expectations that you may observe while visiting the warm and gracious communities of Northern Minnesota. This is by no means a complete list; please feel free to expound…..

1. Large sculptures depicting fish, wild animals or over grown humans, often seen on the edge of communities, are not half-hearted, week-end projects by the local boy scout troop. Numerous committees, ad hoc committees, extra-marital affairs, rumored extra-marital affairs and expense have gone into erecting this prized piece of artwork.

2. Excessive use of turn signals is deemed wasteful and unnecessary. Every one knows that Mavis Lundburg’s passenger side indicator light hasn’t worked for years. And that Karl Blehzanski lives in the third house east of the Sion Lutheran Church (not to be confused with the Grace Lutheran Church), so there is simply no need to further burden an already depreciating light bulb. Additionally, parking in the center of main street is perfectly acceptable if all one is doing is running into the post office, the bank, and the store (providing you’re buying three items or less). Otherwise, parallel parking is available near the lumberyard, just south of the railroad tracks.

3. A raised index finger by the oncoming driver is a universal hello, and should not be confused with a request for you to remove yourself from traffic.

4. Dirty and bruised kids on bicycles are not neglected children. They have climbed five trees (fallen out of two), tubed down the North Fork River, and have trapped six gophers, all before 10 AM.

5. A note on the numerous Yup-Yup Clubs…For those unaware of this northern phenomenon, a "Yup-Yup" is an expression of agreement used within a small gathering of townsfolk. It goes like this…a statement is made, a yup with a slight nod, yup w/nod, yup w/nod, etc, is offered around the circle, and once all folks present have yupped, conversation is commenced with another statement. Some Yup-Yup Clubs embrace outsiders, while others are quite exclusive. The Yup-Yups at the American Legion Post or Eagles for example are very generous with membership. If you find yourself seated between two people at the bar, please yup when it is your turn, or you will break an established chain. And note, they may offer a raised eyebrow or subtle smirk if your timing is a bit off. Now, inclusion for the Senior Citizens' Yup-Yup Club is very difficult. It is based on a lifetime of community service and/or the ritualistic opening of an obscure number of cans of Cream of Mushroom soup. You will never qualify, so you are best to just accept it.

6. The folks staring at you in the grocery or liquor store are not admiring your new Brahmin leather handbag or Dolce & Gabbana t-shirt. Most are trying to figure out to whom you are related to and how long you may be staying. And frankly, they are confused as to why they were not informed of your arrival in advance. They will call Geraine Zimmerman as soon as they get home and find out.

7. Liquor is sold as On and Off. Please inquire inside as to what this means. Minnesotans enjoy humor at someone else’s expense for once.

8. Minnesotans love to visit.
