I have been a nail biter my entire life - within days of starting Mounjaro i stopped completely. Alcohol is boring, so is online shopping. Absolutely crazy how it eliminated the need for vices. (Even being on the lowest dose)

As if we didn’t already think Hope Breakfast Bar was shady as sh*t, just go ahead and blatantly steal another businesses logo as an “homage” to them. That’s not how it works.

Accidentally ended up in Phoenix the day of the Charlie Kirk memorial, and Michelle Bachman sat right behind me on the flight down. 🤮

We bought some really expensive Kona coffee in Hawaii that had won a bunch of awards, and I had the same conclusion. 😂

My part of Lake Elmo stayed on, but Xcel thinks it’s out…keeps sending me texts it’ll be back on by 2:15 this afternoon. We’ll see if we stay lucky during the next round.

Don’t sleep on Liliana’s Pasta Bar in Woodbury - (by the proprietors of Estelle in StP) - the best dinner I’ve had in a long time!! Still dreaming of that fresh pasta.

We used Wildlife Management Services out of Brooklyn Park. The most important thing is to figure out how they are getting in, and once they are out, get that all sealed up. Thankfully we never had them in the living areas either!

This made me laugh because you perfectly described my husband (only 44 tho) with his personalized black plates. I on the other hand, went with the Moose.

They definitely seem one big step behind him. Took way too long to decide he wasn’t in BP anymore. They knew he had a rural house, how did he end up in that area and they didn’t know?

Would be curious to see how bad sales have fallen in MN specifically. I think MN takes this more personally. I have cut my personal target spend by about 90%. Just a few random things I’ve had trouble finding elsewhere.

It was actually an abandoned house on Afton Rd, probably started by kids.

This, and that the cost of materials keeps rising. There is a development near me that just opened their third and final phase in Feb, the lots are already about half sold, and the prices are about 15% higher than 12-18 months ago.

Citing a rumor that the Wild “may” be leaving as one of your closure reasons is super lame. That spot could be a gold mine if the food and service were good. I gave it many chances (as recent as 2 weeks ago) and it always fell short.

My leading economic indicator is how many contractors return my call. This week, 100%. Definitely not what it was in 2023, where maybe 20% would, just to tell me they were busy.

I’m not saying housing is affordable, but picking extreme examples to make your case isn’t a good look. $140k to replace a roof on a $260k house? Come on. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

If we’re renaming bodies of water based on petty grievances, I propose that this be renamed the Kendrick Lamar passage.

The previous restaurant in this location did not have a patio, and they didn’t add anything during their recent construction. My guess is no.

Just booked RT tix on Delta- MSP -> KOA for spring break, only 58k miles! Feels like I haven’t found a travel deal this good in ages. 🌴

I miss Thai Basil like, every day. But yes, excited to try this!!

Been a day so I am playing hooky at the bar at Baldamar, 10/10- highly recommend.

So Target announces sales are way down, everyone is worried about the economy, yet Target’s holiday section is almost completely sold out in mid-November. Not a single tree in stock. This is why I’m confused!

Summing up today’s mood - I just googled when men’s brains are fully developed. Supposedly the answer is around 30, but I beg to differ. Even my dog is confused when I asked her. 🥰
