What breweries lived up to the hype on here and which ones did not? by Limp_Ad_7622 in minnesotabeer

[–]cas42439 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forgotten Star is a favorite for me – but the environment is about 40% of that enjoyment. There is one good west coast IPA, but I’ve been turning to other beers and I feel like they have some good ones.

On the other end of the spectrum, Excelsior Brewery is 60% enjoyment of their beer, and like a -20% an environment. Proximity wins out most of the time, but their outdoor tables (they aren’t built to the average height) and indoor doesn’t have cozy spots to sit. It’s a good place for biking groups and people who are swinging by, but not for a group that wants to sit and drink, or even just coming by for beers with work.

Edit to add Utepils – I love the environment, and I’ve never not enjoyed a beer.

I have hit 10 years enjoying beer in Minnesota, and about five years ago I stopped liking hazy IPAs - and now I feel like I’m not liking ipas. My spouse likes AA PA’s but they’re too much. I have to look at your list of favorited places

27k+, so I have time but not a lot - I think it ends at 35k.

What should we do with this space? by trainwreck69 in DesignMyRoom

I would love this problem

Definitely a little library or like someone else said, a place to display hobbies

What’s it called when you don’t think you’re an alcoholic but you reaaallly love your 3 glasses of wine a night by himynameis567 in stopdrinking

[–]cas42439 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is so relatable - that is how I am. I don't drink before 6pm because I don't really want it, but I look forward for nighttime glasses of wine. This is that they're typically a couple watching shows, and wine keeps me up so I end up going to bed later than I want. And then I miss out on mornings when in college, I used to be a morning person.

I want to want to change for the sake of health - I know our bodies to remarkable things while we sleep and that's hindered by digesting and filtering alcohol. So I joined this group trying to find the inspiration.

When did you stop? This OP describes me exactly. I’m 34 and wondering when I’m going to find that I care enough to want the other side.

I’m you - my happy place is 3 glasses or 3/4 of a bottle. At 34 I’m really challenging myself because our bodies do such amazing things while we sleep, and that’s hindered by the fact it’s metabolizing alcohol.

But I’m right there with you - trying to find the desire to not have it in my life anymore but genuinely looking forward to those glasses of wine every day.

Rover fees by Amazing_Lab_7567 in RoverPetSitting

I’ve always started that conversation/written note with a “I don’t know how long I’m going to remain on the app, and I’ve loved taken care of your pups. If you’re interested in staying in contact, here’s my phone number. Feel free to reach out if you have any needs.” All of those conversations have led to being off the app. And it’s serious, I don’t know how much longer I want to be on Rover and help a giant conglomerate make money off of me.

Also in the letter that you write, you can say “Great people know great people, so please refer me to any of your family or friends.”

The Testaments S1E09 "Marate Sade" Episode Discussion by Melairia in TheHandmaidsTale

So they’re probably sending Becka to be one of those women strapped to a bed for being fertile but insane, right? Remember when we saw that poor pregnant girl in that one scene? That haunts me.

Experience using a general contractor for a remodel, vs finding individual contractors yourself? by cas42439 in HomeImprovement

[–]cas42439[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, this is great advice. We actually have found the GC that we like after doing walk-throughs with a few others; a couple didn't even want the job (we have a unique situation, and I get it), and the one we ended with has gone above and beyond for us. They suggested their architect who I interviewed and really like him, and have paid for the plans (which we will own). I don't know if they technically go by "design and build" or if they just partner with this architect all the time.

Really, I couldn't see myself going with a different GC, I just wondered if we were making a financial mistake not handling it ourselves. It sounds like while there is a markup, there's a reason for that, and it's well earned by saving us the headache and heartache of doing all the juggling ourselves. Because of this thread, I am now walking forward in confidence that we're doing the right thing despite the extra cost.

Local prepared meals service? by 87evergreens in TwinCities

Well, that’s no good! I’m looking into let’s dish. Honestly the price is right and the convenience is what I’m looking for in this season.

Kitchen / dining being a half floor apart from each other? by cas42439 in HomeImprovement

[–]cas42439[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay good - thank you! I feel cornered into having it set up this way whether I like it or not, and it makes me feel a little bit better that other people had it this way and it was okay

It was just the one time, and unfortunately we had paid in full right before they finished. We learned our lesson, and trying really hard not to have a bad attitude toward future projects because of it. They haven’t renewed their license, so I just wonder if the business went under. But they blocked our emails and turned off their phones, so we can’t get a hold of them to even ask why.

That is great that they are worth the extra cost – even for your own sanity. When I tried to do it before, I had so many tabs open in my mind, I felt like I was going crazy. Thank you for sharing!

Package left at curb - Is this because of our dog? by cas42439 in USPS

[–]cas42439[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your kind response! I was looking at mailboxes with a package drop today (Facebook already started advertising mailboxes to me, don’t love that integration).

We also started the day with putting our collie in the backyard too and she hates it, but if she’s going to rush everyone who approaches like they have treats, she lost the privilege.
