Lol ~ Troll I have never heard that before. Ive heard when I went upnorth to harbor springs to visit my grandma vacationers be called fudges lol I live wayyyyyyyyyy down at the bottom of the mit (Just south of detroit)

Trolls = live under the bridge
Yoopers = live in the UP
Fudgies = tourists, mainly in search of fudge :-)

thus, a troll can fudge up to see the yoopers, where they will call him a fudgie troll

ok I was just getting used to bein a troll, now I'm a fudgie troll lol

Well I guess im in the fudgie troll club too

well, here's to being a fudgie troll, and the fudge is a good thing, lol

I guess that makes me a reformed fudgie troll? I have only been a full-time yooper for about 2 months...maybe I need more tenure before I am a true yooper.

Welcome to all you Yoopers from Southern Ontario..
Wish you well in living lowcarb!

If you've only been a Yooper for 2 months, you're still considered a troll, since many fudgies stay that long on vacation. I think you have to make it through winter, and black fly season (the 2 seasons) in order to call yourself a yooper, eh?

Speaking of fudge, I so just day dreamed about fudge and how oh nevermind..lol The "eh" i see im not the only one who says that. Matter of fact I say it alot eh. lol

Snowgirl where did you live before moving to the U.P. if you dont mind me asking.

We just lived in SE Michigan (Ottawa Lake) while working in Toledo for the past year, but before that we lived in SE Ohio, and I am originally from West Virginia. Quite a progression, eh? My husband has loved the UP ever since he began snowmobiling there over 10 years ago! We are both still having to work outside the UP since good jobs are pretty scarce there. But we both love it up there and love living rurally, so we are trying to make it work.

Its is beautiful up there. The only down fall for me is it seems like winter last longer. If I could I would live in florida. Im native american so my blood is thin..lol Im SE right now about 15 minutes from the mi/ohio boarder

Snowmobiling!

My friend Tim at work said yesterday, "it's only seven more months until the trails open in the UP!"

LOL!

My husband used to "count down" the days until snowmobiling, too. I have encouraged him to enjoy the summers & not count his life away! Now we focus on going hiking, boating, etc. in the summer...not just waiting for time to hit the trails. He is definitely a hard core snowmobiler.
