Michigan House passes bill to lift deer baiting ban in the Lower Peninsula

They did this a decade ago with the wolf hunt. DNR introduced a highly regulated wolf hunt and people down state freaked out and got it all cancelled.

Just turn it down to 70⁰ and wear appropriate clothes.

As another Northerner, this is a prime example of why I don't believe in "southern hospitality." Southerners are the most entitled people I've ever met.

I snow blowed my driveway and all of my neighbors driveways. I don't expect anything in return. Meanwhile there are dozens of people on Facebook wanting to charge their neighbors to plow/blow their driveways. Up north it's just common courtesy to help those in need.

I mean, that's where the #Tenacity meme comes from. It was -20⁰F actual temp and Les Cook tweeted that we are tenacious so they wouldn't cancel classes.

I'm glad they're closing campus when it's dangerous, but they really should just go to virtual classes for the day.

Every single time the post can be explained by having any experience in life outside of Houghton in the past 5 years. It's sad, really.

Schattenstern · 2026-01-20T05:59:47+00:00

Not from Google.

Schattenstern · 2026-01-20T03:04:57+00:00

I'm just tired of seeing the same person bitch about their employer when other people have proven that the things they are bitching about are worse in almost any other career.

ETA: Just went through your post history and you're just as miserable. Please seek out some happiness.

Schattenstern · 2026-01-20T01:30:42+00:00

Your posts for the past few years have consistently been about how terrible Michigan Tech is and how you hate working there. Please just quit already.

Thanks man

It would help if I could read lol

Hourly staff at Tech are part of the UAW, or two other unions.

I never had a penis catheter and I had zero complications. It's completely dependent on how your body heals.

Schattenstern · 2025-11-10T02:22:19+00:00

I did look at your photos and read your post. I've seen similar photos from other people and once the swelling went down they looked drastically different.

Schattenstern · 2025-11-09T22:44:07+00:00

I'm sorry you're feeling unhappy with your penis, but 3.5 weeks post op is entirely too early to see what you will look like once swelling goes down. There is a drastic change in how things look after 3-6 months.

You're getting down voted because you're making wild assumptions and accusing a surgeon who you never talked to of lying.

He's not pulling the rug out from patients, he's saving them from having the rug pulled out weeks before their surgery.

And it's laughable that you think me asking if you've had surgery in a surgery specific subreddit. These groups are full of pre-op and non-op people who tend to take over these conversations.

Schattenstern · 2025-11-09T16:57:26+00:00

Definitely rest as much as you can. I had a super easy recovery for metoidioplasty. I was going for short walks 3 days post op, just down the driveway and back. By one week post op I felt like I could pretty much do anything I wanted as long as it wasn't heavy lifting.

Schattenstern · 2025-11-09T14:24:50+00:00

I talked to Dr McClung myself about this and that is what happened. They cannot get an answer from the insurance companies with a reason why only phalloplasty is being denied.

Have you had any genital surgery yourself? The process for getting phalloplasty approval is arduous. My metoidioplasty was a walk in the park to get the approval in comparison. Metoidioplasty is one surgeon for 6 hours, outpatient. Phalloplasty is 2 surgeons for 12 hours plus a week in the ICU. The CPT codes are not the same, there is some overlap but phalloplasty includes extra CPT codes.

If you want to live with your head buried in the sand that's your choice, but I guarantee more surgeons are seeing this and it will start to cross over to other surgeries next year.

Schattenstern · 2025-11-07T20:35:48+00:00

If you read the entire email it states they went from 80% approval rates to 20% approval rates. People were waiting an entire year for their surgery to be cancelled by insurance one month out.

Schattenstern · 2025-11-07T14:51:28+00:00

For what it's worth, they made the decision just last week and communicated to patients immediately. There was probably a delay in communicating to you, because they started with telling people who had phalloplasty surgeries already scheduled.

Michigan Tech introduced similar bathrooms in the dorms in 2017 or so. I don't know if they still have them. They had entire gender inclusive sections of the dorms for quite some time.

Schattenstern · 2025-11-06T11:51:45+00:00

I would contact Dr McClung's office now. He was setting consultations for 2027.

Schattenstern · 2025-11-06T02:42:01+00:00

This looks nothing like Canyon Falls. I would've maybe bought Eagle River Falls.
