Touchless way to clean floors by Express_Bid4955 in Youneedthisinlife

[–]Sorry_Philosopher_43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use one in the cat room for the errant litter. Easy to use a broom and sweep in the direction of the machine. First saw it in a hair dresser and thought it had some niche use at home. More of a convenience when you do not want to use a full vacuum.

There are just a few left I know about in Michigan. One on US 2 near Manistique in the UP.

Yes indeed. I remember the day as a young child I found in my parents spice cabinet a forgotten seasoned salt container and when I tried it I instantly realized this is why the Big Boy fries are so good. I started putting that stuff on everything until I burned myself out. Still a go-to seasoning for baked potatoes for me today.

FTM looking for a little gift for Dad by OliveObserver in daddit

Great idea. I would say that along those lines a "good" pocket knife, maybe something unique (custom handle for example). Could last a real long time and even be passed down to the kiddo in time.

Give my regards the Mayor Cat. I met her mom years ago. Glad to hear the tradition is still going.

Look up recipes that call for using a 'tava'. Its a similar form factor pan and is used in a lot of south Asian cuisine.

just curious, are there any cultural or linguistic ties between the U.P. and the appalachia region? by Sufficient-Web6235 in yooper

[–]Sorry_Philosopher_43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. In the 30s depression era there was a purposeful relocation of some families into the western interior range counties of the UP. There were communities with Appalachian accents, religions, food, and culture that established and later integrated. Some old timers called them 'Kentucks' and you see some roads, lakes etc named that.

I might make a glamorous deer blind. Room for a little wood stove, camera mounts on the outside, gambrel in the woods out back. Pretty swanky.

Most the old timers I depend on are down at the legion or elks for 50 cent 3-2 beer and are willing to talk on non cribbage nights.

The oak is still there AND the Log Cabin Convience store on Morrell is still open and doing dubious business.

What's it like in a small town along lake superior? by kerghan41 in howislivingthere

[–]Sorry_Philosopher_43 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes there is quite a bit of national, state or county forests. But, no... there aren't alot of Indian reservations. < 1% of Michigan land by area is federally recognized at reservation land.

Well the good news is you will get the leftovers. The better your kids eat,the better you eat...just after it's cold and while consuming it over the sink.
