Maria I have relatives in Armada & Washington Township and friends from school in Livonia & Brighton - all around you.  I grew up in the UP

Comment by Maria - Michigan Mom on May 3, 2016 at 9:28pm

Michiana Mom, I am from Oakland County.  I've been to the west side of MI many times. Very beautiful part of the state.

JayDee, what part of Oakland County to you live in?

NancyJo, I am from the east side of MI.  The west part of the state is about 2 1/2 hours from me

Comment by MichianaMom on May 3, 2016 at 7:53pm

Maria - Yes! I am from SW Michigan, about 2 miles from the Indiana boarder, just north of Elkhart, IN. Michiana is what they call the area around here = Michigan + Indiana. Seems to me there are a few of us on here from Michigan.  My son is currently staff pick up at BS.  Nancy Jo I have been to St. Joe - Silver Beach, and have an acquaintance from the kid's school days who's husband works in the plant in Bridgeman. (or at least he did).  I've been up the Red Arrow Highway hunting for antiques a few times.  Small world indeed!

Family joke..when my lawyer daughter was in high school dad called her to put a pan on the stove for spaghetti for dinner so he could cook when he got home. He came home to find a cold frypan on the stove. Seriously? Sometimes the smarter they are the opposite they are too.

Comment by JayDee659 on May 3, 2016 at 1:57pm

NancyJo - my oldest brought home a couple friends for Thanksgiving one year.  They all stood in the kitchen, watching the turkey bake and discussing the physical and chemical changes in the turkey.  Kind of ruined dinner for me, but it was interesting.  

Then there's the other side of the coin.  My oldest and her BF rescued a dog.  She called me all flipped out because the dog was in heat and was she pregnant and what should she do.  It amused me.  Her BF thinks I'm the dog expert so at least I have some usefulness....

Comment by NancyJo (NNPTC) on May 3, 2016 at 1:52pm

JayDee, in a parallel universe we live in the same house! My kids all acknowledge they are nerds of the highest order.  :D 

Comment by JayDee659 on May 3, 2016 at 1:36pm

NancyJo, I get some odd looks when people hear what my daughter does.  They first ask if she works with the nuclear weapons.  Sigh.  I have started telling people that she has a "glowing" career in the Navy.  :)  My oldest daughter is working on her PhD in Chemistry so we have a lot of nerdy science in our house (when/if everyone is home at the same time).  My girls are so smart and so are their friends.  I frequently feel like Penny in The Big Bang Theory as they talk way over my head!

Comment by NancyJo (NNPTC) on May 3, 2016 at 1:20pm

JayDee, I am always amazed at how small the world is. We lived in Bridgman. My husband worked in the accounting office of the nuclear plant there which is where the whole nuke bug got planted in our family. My nerdy family often talked nuclear science at the dinner table. My oldest daughter decided she wanted to be a nuclear engineer, and my nuke SIL went to the same engineering college where they met. Their inspiration sent my son into the nuke pipeline and the rest is history.

ps It amazes me also how people are so ignorant of the whole "nuke" thing. No, radiation is not an issue and all my children and grandchildren are perfectly normal. At least, I think so. Somebody else might not. LOL I don't blame those folks though. They just haven't been taught. Another reason I am so proud of our nukes!
