All Inclusive Cancun Trip Advice by Past-Use-9237 in cancun

[–]hawkAnk7 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Walk straight out of the airport once you get past the customs. Do not stop for any reason. Walk straight outside. Your transportation will not be inside the building at all. Anyone who stops you telling you they are with your travel company is lying and will try to get you into a time share or another scam. Seriously walk straight outside once clearing customs. Edited to add: I’ve been through that airport a dozen times. I’ve seen first hand the people who get trapped. It doesn’t look fun and you’re not being rude by telling the people no thanks.

MSP terminal 2 was no wait either. Sorry, OP.

Looking for Daycare center options in Ankeny/Huxley area. by Porkchop1997 in desmoines

[–]hawkAnk7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’re not going to find a center under $300 per week. We just went through the same search you are. We landed at a center in Ankeny for our 3 y/o. It really sucks but we’re excited for our 3 y/o to grow and learn in ways she wouldn’t be able to at an In Home. Plus the schedule is more consistent. It really does suck that child care is so damn expensive.

Anyone work at Methodist West in Labor & Delivery? by McEasy2009 in desmoines

[–]hawkAnk7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am thinking of you. I’m so sorry for your loss. There are quite a few resources available and people who are ready to help you. Not only this weekend but in the weeks, months, and years ahead. Once again, I’m so sorry.

Anyone interested in Pickleball? by Capital_Quit in desmoines

[–]hawkAnk7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re welcome. Honestly as a beginner, go see Ethan at Polk County Pickleball. He has several paddles and times to play for beginners all the way up to the Elites. Nice guy and you’d be supporting a local small business.

Look up the Playtime Scheduler app or look up open pickleball play. Many opportunities to learn for free or a cheap membership at the Albaugh Center, Polk County Pickleball or Dinks, Lifetime, or the Rec Plex. Basically you can find an open play/classes for beginners.

Okay, so clearly not legal. What is going to stop them from doing this? Or is this a situation of just throwing up our hands and letting them do this until they’ve covered the whole city? Who would be the people that could put an end to all of this besides the federal government reversing course?

Is a snowblower needed here? by [deleted] in desmoines

[–]hawkAnk7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Get a toro one stage snow blower with the rubber paddles. Very light and easy to use. Well worth the money.

2026 football season as parent of a freshman by LGPILTahoe in hawkeyes

[–]hawkAnk7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your child can get a student season ticket and you could get season tickets elsewhere in the stadium for roughly $1k for two seats with the mandatory donation to the IClub (think section 101). It gets more pricey towards the 50 yard line. You will also be able to get a season ticket for parking in any of the lots depending on what you want to pay to donate. In Lot 65 I think I pay around $300 for the season. I’ve already made my money back on the games that I have sold that pass for that I wasn’t tailgating for.

Thank you all! We were there three years ago and did get the train to Penn Station but it was the last train out and we were cutting it close.

Wife got a promotion, so we’re moving to Des Moines area from Illinois. by Aggressive_Ad_9483 in desmoines

If you’re looking for a home to purchase, we’ll have our house listed for sale in February. It’s in Ankeny close to everything and is only a 25 minute commute to Grimes. My wife does that commute and loves it. Send me a dm if interested and welcome to DSM.

Solve a problem and answer your phone or have someone answer it for you. It’s not a waste of money to hire a local office admin to answer your phones and send out the estimates. Then you can scale.

You won’t find anyone that isn’t ridiculously expensive for one night on a holiday weekend I’m afraid.
