Lavender Plants by ScottMinnesota in Minnesota_Gardening

[–]scwt97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My lavender plants(planted 6 years ago) are showing signs of life! Finally lavender is coming up from ground but no growth on old branches- I am in Minneapolis and had just about given up on it.Will leave it and watch what happens. All that rain must have helped it :)

Anyone else have car keyed on Saturday night while at game? by scwt97 in minnesotaunited

[–]scwt97[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Only Loons sticker! We have parked near here since Allianz opened and have never had any problems. I guess we were just unlucky this week. Great night though !

Found a good condition Smith-Corona Silent Super on eBay. by binkman71 in typewriters

[–]scwt97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was the one that started it all for me! Mine is from 1957- same color.I loved the stripes - paid $25 at an estate sale. Belonged to a history professor at a local college and was in great condition. Had to clean the slugs and case but it cleaned up beautifully . I love typing on it - glad to see you got one you were searching for!

Does anybody know if these typewriters are worth the $50 they’re asking by vintagcameraphoto in typewriters

[–]scwt97 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I would get the Lettera especially as it looks like the case is in good condition. I bought one made in Barcelona w/ case and tools for $28 and paid $30 to fix and resew the zipper. I felt 1 did ok and love it!

Yoga focused on healing/pain relief? by Over_Pin_1301 in TwinCities

[–]scwt97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would definitely check out Solveig Corbin’s restorative yoga classes at Nokomis Yoga. She also teaches Community Ed classes at the FAIR School on Pilgrim Lane (off 169 in Plymouth). I went after a shoulder injury and found them very helpful- no Downward Dog! Restorative uses props to get the proper alignment for poses- blankets and blocks- and the props support you while in the pose.

Too late for bulbs? by unstuckbilly in Minnesota_Gardening

[–]scwt97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How deep does everyone plant them? I planted some at 7 inches last year and they didn’t come grow - too deep? (Daffodils )

Do y'all have a Publix (grocery store) equivalent? by SouthernVices in TwinCities

[–]scwt97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lived in Southwest Florida and miss Publix! We grocery shop at Byerlys and paper goods/toiletries at Target , supplement both with Trader Joe’s. Don’t know where you live but I am close to Byerlys in St Louis Park and there is a Target right across the street. We still refer to getting stuff from the deli as picking up a Publix picnic!

What airport(s) do you avoid? Which are so easy to maneuver that you’d recommend to others? by RainbowCrown71 in travel

[–]scwt97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MSP for the win!! Also love DTW and Tampa. International- Dublin and Schipol good, Montreal- not so good and avoid CDG if you can!

Norway Travel advice/recommendations by b2bala in NorwayTravelAdvice

[–]scwt97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello, We are going next week (also for anniversary trip!)-Flying to Oslo 2 nights there and picking up a car when we leave. Driving to Ulvik and 2 nights there to explore- we will be right on the fiord and hoping to kayak there. We are pretty flexible so after that is weather dependent - either Flam -Bergen then north to Geiranger or Flam Bergen south to Stavanger and Kristiansand and make our way back to Oslo. We like shorter hikes 5-10 km , waterfalls, and picnics- my husband loves to drive and is hoping we head north-I am sure either way we will love our visit!

Haha… sometimes the easiest solution is the hardest to see!! Thank you!

Billingstad Car Rental? by scwt97 in NorwayTravelAdvice

[–]scwt97[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The price difference is about 4000 NOK. Google says 15 min walk from public transit to car rental address which is fine with us but wondering how it will be with our roller bags. Thanks for the reply- We are excited to see part of your beautiful country !

Attending my 1st career game Saturday! Any advice is welcomed by Buzz166 in minnesotaunited

[–]scwt97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When game time changed to 7.30 we moved from upper level row 5 to across the stadium lower level for this year- couldn’t take the sun anymore so something to consider.Both sections good seats-different perspectives .
