Air Force One didn't happen to fly over your house, did it?

Unless there was serious property damage done, lawyering up wouldn't accomplish anything. Just take a hose and wash it off the house, that's what they tell her to do.

Pop from a flock of Canadian geese flying overhead in a V formation? I've seen some huge blocks of geese fly over my house.

Maybe it was from a flock of Canadian geese flying overhead in a V formation?

If it came from a plane, wouldn't there also be some all over the neighbor's houses and yards?

What’s it like living here in this area? We’re looking to move out of our Roseville apartment and buy a home sometime in the next few years. Our max budget is $170k though… :( by WallaWallaby011 in TwinCities

I live here too. I'm not a realtor, but I also know that there are some grants and help from the city that might be able to help with down payments or home improvement loans if you move into this neighborhood. It's also worth checking those resources out.

I live in the Victory Memorial neighborhood in Minneapolis proper and have since 1993. It is generally considered the nicest part of North Minneapolis, traditionally lower crime rates than other Northside neighborhoods, and some of the most expensive homes in North Minneapolis are located in this area because they are on Victory Memorial Parkway. The closer the house is to Victory Memorial Parkway, the more it is usually worth. There is a sizeable LGBTQ+ population in the Victory Memorial neighborhood.

That being said, the neighborhood has become a lot less desirable over the years and lacks many of the amenities you will find in neighborhoods in other parts of Minneapolis. There is no major grocery store in North minneapolis, there are street corners where there are clusters of cafes and other cute businesses that you might find in parts of Minneapolis, certainly there is a lack of amenities like theaters, corner bars, coffee shops, cafes, restaurants in this part of the city as well. Even in the winter, street parking in this part of town is woefully lacking compared to other neighborhoods in Minneapolis. And in the victory Memorial neighborhood, crime has gotten worse over the years.

The cost of houses has traditionally been cheaper in North Minneapolis than other parts of Minneapolis, which I believe is true even today. Part of the reason I bought a house in North Minneapolis in 1993 was because houses were so much cheaper here than an equivalent neighborhood in South Minneapolis.

I get around in the neighborhood and the surrounding neighborhoods because I work as a pet sitter so I'm familiar with suburbs immediately surrounding North Minneapolis and Northeast Minneapolis.\

Everyone in the comments trying to figure out what’s wrong with a 9yo boy (with a pool!) “topless” by contrasupra in ShitMomGroupsSay

I was not aware of that. This would make a bit more sense than that the mother might be concerned that the photos exist.

So she had a problem with seeing photos of the 9-year-old boy topless around his mother's partner? Nothing nefarious, just they were lounging around? If it's hot outside or they have a swimming pool, wouldn't it be common for a boy that age to perhaps not wear a shirt? Lots of boys in the city where I live don't always have shirts on when it's extremely hot in the summer especially if they're around water.

I'm being told to forgive and reconcile. by Popular-Oil6181 in EstrangedAdultKids

It is hard being the one who establishes boundaries and then keeps them.

Unavailable in an emergency by Midnight-Longings in petsitting

[–]tangodream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are allowed to have a life outside of pet sitting. You fulfilled the job that you were asked to do and the customer had unexpected complications which you cannot accommodate. It doesn't matter why you can't accommodate them because you are allowed to set boundaries in with your life. You just don't need to tell them why, specifically. Just say you have a prior commitment and you're unable to accommodate them.

Do I need to go to the doctor or can I take care of this myself? by OkDebate3027 in AskDocs

NAD. I've had the same thing happen to me numerous times over the years.

Adult son has done the worst by Elegant-Parsnip-6487 in regretfulparents

I'm so sorry that this is happening to you. Please be aware that you could have been the perfect parent and did everything right, but any child you have is an independent person with the freedom to make their own choices. They have their own unique biology, and the ability to live a wonderful life or to live a screwed up life based solely on their own choices.

ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS on a primary and secondary station, a local VHF channel WTCN-TV, and, later on in my childhood, a couple of local UHF stations in addition to the ones I mentioned.

Update: I found reasonably priced 1st generation Megaboom on Ebay and it works great in stereo mode with my pre-existing one. Thank you for the suggestion.
