"Uffda/ Oofda is often used in the Upper Midwest as a term for sensory overload. It can be used as an expression of surprise, astonishment, exhaustion, relief and sometimes dismay. For many, Uffda is an all-purpose expression with a variety of nuances, and covering a variety of situations. Within Midwestern culture, Uffda frequently translates into: I am overwhelmed. It has become a mark of Scandinavian roots, particularly for people from North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin, northern Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan."

LOL!

Last time I cleaned the men's restroom at church, I had to scrub hard on the floor grout to get stuff off. *gag*

Sleepytime..work at 7!

Bathrooms? I'm re-doing mine! Kinda.

Last night I bleached the mold and stuff on the walls. Today I found more. UGH!
Today I used a straight razor and got rid of all the old caulk since it was mildewy and you could tell they had used the white cheap stuff, which isn't a good idea in a bathroom tub surround. So I got ALL of that done..it was a chore.

Insert Bible Study at church here.

Walmart.

Back home to re-silicone the tub and surround. It looks SO much better. Not a total pro job, but a LOT better.  Then I filled all the holes and weird spots on the wall. There is part of one wall that is messed up and is going to take a couple fillings. *sigh* Am I done with this bathroom yet?

Tomorrow is Kilz and some more spackeling.

LOL! I have heard this before... but then again... Yoopers (UPr's) are a different breed... but definitely fun.

Oh my goodness Seth!  Why does that April always caps all her posts on FB?  It makes me imagine she's this old lady who's deaf and yells at everyone... LOL    I'm laughing everytime!

I agree. She is a bit annoying with the ALL CAPS!
Have you slapped that one dude from Indiana with a pie in the face today?

UFFDA IS:

    * trying to dance the polka to rock and roll music
    * eating at Inga and Lena's restaurant and finding out they only serve Mexican food
    * having Swedish meat balls at a lutefisk supper
    * finding out Ole and Svens is a pizza place in Grand Marais, MN
    * having more miles on your snowblower than your car
    * walking downstairs and then forgetting what you wanted
    * when they run out of lutefisk at a  lutefisk supper and you have to settle for minced ham instead
    * having to take your kids Trick or Treating in a blizzard.
    * trying to pour two buckets of manure into one bucket
    * having a mouse crawl up your leg when you're on a hayload
    * eating hot soup when you've got a runny nose
    * knowing somewere in the state of Minnesota is a piece of frozen metal with a piece of your tongue still attached.
    * getting swished in the face with a cow's wet tail
    * waking yourself up in church with your own snoring
    * forgetting your mother-in-law's first name
    * having spent the last fifteen minutes getting your kid dressed to play in the snow only to have him tell you that NOW he has to go potty
    * noticing non-Norwegians at a church dinner using lefse for a napkin
    * eating a delicious sandwich and then discovering the spread is cat food
    * sneezing so hard at the dinner table that your false teeth end up in the bread plate
    * having attended a formal affair in your best dress, finest jewelry, wearing your Sorrels.

Uffda!

I was born and raised in southern PA, and Northern VA... but have lived in CA (ok, I was 6 months old, so it probably doesn't count, lol), TX, UT, and now live in WI (but I am 5 minutes away from the UP of MI, and I work in MI). So I still have to live in Washington or Oregon and then Georgia or Florida... and Maine... and I would have lived in the all the important areas of the USA, lol.

I just know Larry says Uffda in one of his songs... lol

In regards to nasty restrooms, yes, men's can be nasty...but I've heard women complain about the messes made by "hover-ers."  :freaky:


And I don't know why APRIL ALWAYS POSTS IN CAPS!  SHE'S NOT AN OLD LADY.  lol

Oh Lord. Weirdos and nutcases, all of you. Back at work for my monday....very tired. We had Cheyenne a little birthday party after church in the fellowship hall. Not a great idea. We had a visiting preacher, who while being great and very much on target, was long winded. It was nearly midnight before I got in bed and I had to be up at 4:30 a.m. Gonna be a loooonnnnggg day..... :waving:

I've been up for an hour. Thunderstorms again all night. Not a bad thing, but the cat is afraid...so she mews and mews and mews until I let her under the blankets...then she squirms every time it thunders.
