Guest guest Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 Hi Cort > I'm two hours by car, on the Michigan side. Though lots of Chicago folks come up by boat because my town is settled on the mouth of the Kalamazoo river. Let me know if you ever head this way for a visit. I sue to visit Grand Rapids occasionally for an old job I had and my Aunt lives in Clarkston. That's about the extent of my knowledge of MI. > I would never make fun of your title, mainly because your title makes it sound like you could kick my ass. LOL - I wouldn't go that far on the title, but if you could tell Peter K that I would appreciate it. Nikki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 LOL - Actually, we are called CAM's for short. We use quite a lot of acronyms, there are also those called a RAM, DSM, RSM, NAC, NAM, EAM... And those are just some titles. We shorten more in conversations too.

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 Depends on where you are going, where you are coming from, which expressway or side streets, what time of day and day of the week. And even then it varies dues to construction.
