    This world is about to get a lot lot smaller...SHUT UP!!! OMG I think we are cousins. omg omg omg. my grandma's maiden name is MELROE!!!! She grew up in Gwinner!! Her father and his brother INVENTED THE MELROE BOBCAT!!!! So that would be my great grandpa and great great uncle who invented it. I have some distant relatives that still live in Gwinner. Dude, but it is like guaranteed that our great grandfathers knew each other. HOLY CRAP. I think I have some relatives run a dairy queen there, maybe they own it. Idk.
    But yeah my grandma, like everytime we see a melroe bobcat, she puts her hand over her heart, so now I do it too. I'm so glad you called it the Melroe bobcat. They've taken the name melroe off the bobcats these days I think. The company has been sold a few times. Melroes havent owned it for a long time.
    Your mom probably went to the same church my grandma went to.
    My family makes lefse at home every thanksgiving. we have a lefse grill. haha. And I'm norwegian swedish german and lutheran. lol

    At least 25....

    For those that are in the 0-10, do yourself a favor and go on a road trip. Traveling around this country is so easy, and there is so much to see. Obviously some states I've been to like Nebraska, Oklahoma, etc, don't offer much, but you can find almost anything special about any state.

    Don't waste your time in Nebraska, unless you have a weird corn fetish.

    Also, West Virginia is beautiful, but it's full of inbreds.

    Just never happened. I skipped on some opportunities to fly to another state.

    I want to visit countries overseas, but there's something called money and it's stopping me.

    haha. I know right? We're probably not related unless you have relatives with the last name melroe. I'll message you, I don't really want to post my family tree on clutchfans. lol
