no one here ?
 

hello !

I'm here. Grab a seat and have some coffee. I stayed up too late last night and am now paying the price? What's going on with you?

I assumed you all migrated south for the winter.

South? You all should come north. It was 50 degress here yesterday.

brrrr....
 

Are you hopped up on lutefisk and lefse or something? I spent two winters in mid-MN in a farmhouse and froze my ass off each time - that was enough. The Autumn there is gorgeous - I would go back for the trees and the apples, but not a winter - my blood is way too thin.

-T(plus, you know 50* isn't warm, right?**)L








*It's only getting up to 61 here today and we're having a cold front. Brrrr.

**You are still welcome to visit. I'll even make a hotdish*** so you'll feel at home.

***That is an unbelievable funny word.

I don't care for hotdish.

Anyone know what happened to pinky2?

Still you have the second most active regional board.

I have been to Blue Earth MN, the birthplace of the ice cream sandwich.

My son's friend claims his dad invented the Choco taco.

It is also the home of Best Buy. And the Twins.

Not THOSE twins.

Which twins?

You're not doing this again today.

Little does he realize that's only his parents' code word for playing with the Hershey's syrup, iykwim.

ETA: Take that, penske! Woo. hah hah hah hah.

I'm here
 

Whoa, it's a wasteland in this thread. I guess no one from or around Minnesota trolls lawtalkers. It's a shame, it seems like a great community, but a community it's not without any peeps. I guess that's all I've got to say, but maybe I'll have more to say tomorrow.

I'm here
 

OK, I'll bite... What are they paying mid-level IP Associates out there these days? And response to the bumps on the coasts? Can I buy a 5,000 sf mansion (and heat it) on 25 acres for $1500 a month and bank the $150k+ left over? And more importantly, are they importing? Last time I even struck up a coversation with a recruiter from M&G at a national job fair I was politely turned away for insufficient 'local' contacts on my resume. (Hello? This is a national job fair... if you want local, recruit from U of Minn. Are you really beating back the HYS grads with a stick?)
