    I too have just joined, and I so relate to the 'time to take care of me' I have 5 children and multiple special needs, I too am looking for support, encouragement and "reminders" to take care of my needs as we too often forget. May I add you as a friend?

    YOOPER!!! Made me grin. Like everyone else says...there are only a select few of us in the world that know what that is.

    Welcome!
    What Da Heck Is A Yooper?

    The people that live in the Upper Peninsula or the U.P. are called "Yoopers" and are proud of it.

    Oh ya, I know what a yooper is. Holy jeez, but I am just a former troll out here in the deserts of Las Wages. Started my first week, hopefully only 6-8 left to go. Trying to lose around 30 pounds.

    Haven't hit my forties yet (35yrs), and I don't have any kids, but I'm a born and raised Michigander. Would love to have some more friends from my homestate....I miss it something fierce, especially in the summer time (currently live in upstate SC...waaaay too hot for me).
