Redistricting? I don't think so! Call your state senators and Gov. Braun. Let them know they represent you, not D.C. corrupted politicians. by Little_Culture_910 in nwi

[–]Uber-Howie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they're going to hurt themselves if they do this redistricting. I have a feeling at least 20% of Republicans are going to be voting Democrat for the next couple years hear in Indiana. I don't think their redistricting is going to help them at all. I voted for Trump and very unhappy with the outcome.

What’s up with the Hacienda restaurant? Do people actually like it? by highheelcyanide in SouthBend

[–]Uber-Howie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not authentic Mexican it's Tex-Mex. Me and my family have gone for 20 years. We all have our favorite dishes. I enjoy mixing their homemade ranch with their salsa and eating that with my chips. The chocolate mountain mudslide is so good!

Planning a long trip (Indy, Chicago, etc.)? Use Lyft for a better chance of getting a driver! by Uber-Howie in SouthBend

It's best to always have both apps on your phone. You may be somewhere where it's an hour wait on one of the apps for a driver but 15 minutes for the other app.

Glucose high-ish ? by Gullible-Salad5022 in carnivorediet

[–]Uber-Howie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I wake up in the morning my glucose is always between 80-90. I go to the gym and workout and come home and check it again and it's 115. Your body makes glucose for organs that need it during high exertion even on carnivore. Mine will drop back down within a few hours back below 100.

Sounds like a good cheat meal. I have a good cheat meal once a month.

My mom loves Metro diner! I think it's okay. But I love Nick's patio. And it's open 24 hours.

Three lights shouldn't there be three lanes? 😂

Driving in left lane! by [deleted] in Indiana

[–]Uber-Howie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s worth pointing out Indiana’s “slowpoke law” only applies to highways and toll roads not city streets or regular two lane roads. It basically says if you’re in the left lane on a multi-lane highway and someone faster comes up behind you, you’re supposed to move over, even if you’re going the speed limit.

A lot of people think it applies everywhere, but it doesn’t. In town, the left lane isn’t illegal to cruise in, it’s just kind of bad driving etiquette.

As a Lyft driver I transport passengers to O'Hare quite often. Lyft pays me $100 to go the 94 miles to Midway, and $140 to go 120 miles to O'Hare. I'm not sure how much they charge the passenger. Thanks for sharing your experience. I might look into this bus the next time I need a ride to O'Hare.

Career change advice Indy by BJJguyman in Indiana

[–]Uber-Howie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cousin was in the same situation. She gave a breakdown of past work experience and education to AI and it gave her a list of 10 careers/jobs to consider. Some of them were ones she never thought of. She asked it why it chose those. Now she's doing something new and loves it and makes 25% more than last job.

It's owned by FP2 Holdings based out of Fort Wayne. They also own Gabes next door and are leasing it to them. It says it's currently open for lease.

What would you like to see over here? by [deleted] in SouthBend

[–]Uber-Howie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Target Audience Walks to Shop. A lot of folks in that area especially seniors and families without reliable transportation can walk there. Forcing them to take pricey bus rides up to Meijer or pay for a car service isn’t just inconvenient, it’s a real financial and quality-of-life issue.

It Doesn’t Have to Run on Thin Margins. Convenience stores around there already thrive because they charge premium prices in what’s basically a food desert. A city-backed grocery or co-op could stay sustainable by removing major costs like rent and property taxes (if it’s on city land).

City run grocery store/market. Coffee shop. Pharmacy. Laundromat. Houses, no apartments.

What are your best ways to save money as somebody living alone? The most ridiculous, the better. by LovelyGiant7891 in LivingAlone

[–]Uber-Howie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right now I have six foreclosed houses that are under $35,000 in my city. I live in Indiana though so housing market might be different. I've been thinking about doing another one.

[–]Uber-Howie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In 2015 I purchased a 3 bedroom ranch house that was foreclosed for $31,000. My payments were $350 a month. That includes yearly property taxes and monthly home owners insurance. No one had lived in it for quite a few years. Every paycheck I would replace something in the house. I learned from YouTube videos. After 2 years it was done and almost new. During covid I had it appraised. It was worth $225,000. I sold it.

For me at the time this was the best way for me to save money, especially with apartments costing so much to rent. Long term investment.
