BrianTN Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Well, I moved up here around May of this year. So far it hasn't been what I was expecting. Most of the people I work with were born and raised here. We seem to have different views on everything, so much that it's been hard to start any kind of relationship/friendship. Basically I'm stuck with going to the hospital for work, then back home or to the library to study. I guess I shouldn't be complaining too much, since I should be studying as much as I can while in med school, but it'd be nice to meet someone with similar views. It doesn't help that the people I knew here before I moved up turned out to not be such great friends (I made a thread about this earlier). Oh and the freezing cold isn't for me, that's for sure. At least I can have some fun doing donuts in the snow Looking forward to driving south to family for Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benos Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Although I have some great friends in Michigan (from the old days Second Chance match)... A bumper sticker I saw long ago came to mind when I saw this thread. "Will the last one out of Michigan please turn out the lights." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianTN Posted December 15, 2010 Author Share Posted December 15, 2010 I'd like to get one of those bumper stickers Guess what I came home to? A water leak from the 12th floor that soaked my apartment on the 7th floor. Awesome. Just in time to screw with my studying for an OB/GYN test this Friday. Looks like I won't be leaving for TN this weekend, gotta wait for the new carpet to be installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpha-charlie Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Although I have some great friends in Michigan (from the old days Second Chance match)... A bumper sticker I saw long ago came to mind when I saw this thread. "Will the last one out of Michigan please turn out the lights." I believe that phrase was originally for Illinois. My folks live in Michigan now and it's a completely different world up/over there. It's amazing how much more I go visit them on the weekends during shooting season. They're only 10 minutes away from a USPSA club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay870 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Stop piling on poor MI. Working at a hospital and in med school... I've got to assume you're in Ann Arbor? That would explain a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianTN Posted December 16, 2010 Author Share Posted December 16, 2010 Stop piling on poor MI. Working at a hospital and in med school... I've got to assume you're in Ann Arbor? That would explain a lot! I'm in Southfield. I guess MI in general isn't bad, I'm sort of tired of the people I work with though haha. Not enough shooting + leaving my Dillon behind in TN + too much studying + very unreliable friends = a bummed out Brian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boz1911 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 I lived in Lansing as a kid for a while with my non-english speaking grandma. My only friend and I got caught shoplifting and I did walk to school in the dead of winter..........Not, no change that to no good memories from there...

AlamoShooter Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 I built two buildings on two separate trips , one in Lansing in 1979 i did not care for it much. the second trip was a building in Roseville-just north of Detroit. That was a good trip. I did get an education on prejudice though Every one had a label for everyone else. They did not know what to call me and every one adopted me and said they would watch the "other guys" for me I did not fit the Hillbilly label so I made lots of friends. Good Friends Both trips were spring and summer , and I had the buildings complete before fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twodownzero Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 I'll probably never forget the joke at the Indiana match informing the Michigan people that "we can read here" and thus that we weren't standing in Michigan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Bell Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 There is a good shooting community in Michigan, get involved and meet some shooters. Family, friends, and shooting buddies are the only thing I miss about Michigan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
