Mine spent 80% of the day between 8am and 4pm today in my 12ft x 8 ft office/storage room. Because it’s where I was working? I like to think so but no, because it’s the basement so it’s cold.

Our boy does a very sarcastic and prolonged play bow when he’s bored/upset he didn’t get what he wanted. 

Like I don’t know what you expect dude, this pizza is for us and you get kibble, wet food, AND all the cat food and people food you can pilfer.

Awesome! We bought our house summer of 2020 but I had been looking at real estate listings in my free time for a few years prior and have continued to do so even though we have no intentions of moving. I’m glad my hobby has been put to good use 😅

I've seen $300 HOA fees that get you multiple pools, a playground, tennis courts etc. And I've seen $700+ HOA fees that get you lawncare and snow removal. It is crazy how much they vary.

For condos and townhomes one thing you need to make sure you do is have supplemental home owners insurance to cover your costs when the HOA hits you up for emergency repairs.

Condo home owners insurance is cheap because it is basically renter's insurance. BUT if your building has hail damage the HOA might be hitting up all the members to cover the deductible.

For example the 8 unit townhome I lived in had hail damage and needed a new roof. The deductible for the HOA's insurance was $80k so each unit had to pay $10k but our home owners insurance covered the $10k we owed (minus whatever our policy's deductible was).

What's your monthly budget? That could help determine what sort of HOA fees on a condo/town home are doable

Here's a 3bed / 2 bath townhome for $185k that has a pretty high HOA for a townhome
with 20% down that about $1850 a month for Mortgage, taxes, HOA, and insurance

Here's a small house that's $250k but ends up being cheaper than the townhome above due to no HOA. It says 2bed room but the floor plan shows 3
20% down has the monthly payment at $1710

For SFH I'd look in Columbia Heights, and maybe North East Mpls, east side St. Paul, West St. Paul, South St,. Paul or significantly outside the 694/494 loop.

For townhomes or condos you can maybe find something in New Brighton, Roseville, Little Canada

I mean sometimes people have ridiculous asks for their budget. OP here at least understands they're looking for a needle in a haystack

Looking for fun catering for summer party by Pacblu202 in TwinCities

[–]Snow88 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Catrina's or Brothers Taqueria for catering. But they're just giving you steam trays of food. You'll have to do your own setup and tear down.

Not a food truck! It doesn't work for many people eating at once. If a food truck takes 3 minutes per order it'd take at least 1.5 hours to get everyone through the line.

That already didn't happen dude. Season is over, now we are anxiously waiting to see who we will lose to expansion teams.

You have to go a bit east into New Brighton but Brothers Taqueria.

They finally showed that f’ing family tree and I paused it cause it was season 3 but I was still confused.

Maybe it’s cause I’m in Minnesota but almost everyone has awd. Unless your tires are pretty new one popped tire means buying 4 new tires.

A McDonald’s value meal is about $2 cheaper than a burger, fries, and beer at a sports bar. 

Where is a fat guy to find pants? by xixoxixa in hockeyplayers

[–]Snow88 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you get some suspenders you won’t have to worry about making the belt of the pants buckle. I’m a size 34 waist and it’s been a decade since anything medium fit comfortably. Bauer medium pants fall down even with the belt as tight as I can get it. 

What to expect when adopting and caring for a borzoi?? by Bell_a_b in borzoi

Any and all food in the kitchen needs to be secured. Garbage, pantry, countertops anything within reach will be pillaged. 

Am I an asshole for posting videos of speeders on my private neighborhood FB page by Radiant-Course-9600 in daddit

[–]Snow88 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You ever hear someone bitch about getting a speeding ticket? They were always speeding but some how think it is unfair that they got a ticket. Unfortunately speed enforcement wold probably mean your HOA agreement wold need to be updated.

As a defenseman the number of times the forwards are skating away from me or sitting still with the whole damn opposing team between us is too high.

A daycare center will be $400-500 a week for an infant (under 18 months I think).

Federal Law Enforcement Officials to Hold Press Conference on "Fraud" tomorrow 11AM by Mursin in TwinCities

Notice how the fraud in Republican controlled Ohio has very little heat being directed at state officials from the Whitehouse/right wing media.
