I live in Warren, Mi. Anyone else in or around Metro Detroit?

[mommida]

I'm in Oxford/Brandon area. (Just north of DTE)

[mimommy]

Hi! I'm near Lakeside Mall--Clinton Township. Warren's just a jog down Schoenner from here

Mommida--do you ever go to Pine Knob Golf Course?

[mommida]

I don't have the patience for golf. I'm sure I would be like a Happy Gilmore if I went out on a course.

I still drive into the Warren area for doctor appointments. I used to live right by Lakeside Mall. I didn't even have to take a main road to get there. I just drove through the subdivision and entered the parking lot next to McDonald's.

Hee--me neither for golf (only I'd be more like a Bill Murray).
I asked because of a past connection I have there--I did their PR when they re-opened the mansion to the public in 2006.
I know exactly where you lived--it's right up the road from me. This area has changed so drastically you might not recognise it of you've been away for long.
Do you remember "The Silo" on Hayes?

[mommida]

I loved the silo! I remember looking up and spinning, just to see if I could walk straight after.
I used to live on Saal rd. Remember that cow that would get loose and cause a commontion?
I drive out there for my kids Pediatrician's office. One office is on Hayes in Clinton Twp., the other office is on Hoover in Warren.
OK, If I ever have to go golfing ~ I'll only go if you come with me!

Was your peds. office on the east side of Hayes, s. of Canal, by the car wash? My SIL was a medical assistant there until a few months ago.
Our first apartment after we got married was at Ashgrove, directly across the street from the old SILO.
OK, you're on for 18 holes, but get ready to laugh. I am an eejit of the highest order. I'll probably flip the cart.
When I worked for them we spent a July 4th there on the lake off the course and watched the fireworks the owner put on. The Pat Benetar concert was going on at DTE (the back of the stage pavilion backs up to the golf course), so we got a free show and they got free fireworks. The owner even got me backstage passes to the Tom Petty/Stevie Nicks concert a few years ago. It was great fun.
PM me--let's chat.

I just sent SIL an e-mail to find out.
Poor Daphnie--we kind of shanghied her post
You know us Michiganders--friendly, chatty folks we are

[mommida]

Well I know there are more of us from this area.
I think because summer finally showed up, they just aren't online right now.

I live in southgate! hello all

[mommida]

Hi dtgirl!
I just read your anemia, pica, fatigue post! I don't know how to help you with that, but stay away from matches!

lol, some women crave chocolate I get non-food items!

[mommida]

Hopefully the anemia will resolve soon, and there will be no pica.
Interesting that you mention chocolate!!?
Have you ever seen the movie "Like water for Chocolate"? I think the sister character had Celiac. The end of the movie shows the main character eating matches. It's pretty slow, but I did laugh my tush off about the knitting for sexual frustration and the scene of this long knit piece trailing behind a moving car.

[dtgirl]

no, I have not sounds interesting!
I recently moved to MI and I must say, the people here are so friendly.
