Indoor photo in Dec? [19 Nov 2009|10:16am] dragons_angel Hello fabulous community! My family and I are having some pictures taken the first week of December by an independent photographer. Since she doesn't have her own studio, I'm looking for interesting places to have pictures taken that don't charge a photography fee. Any suggestions? 11 comments|post comment

abortion stories wanted to oppose Stupak amendment [17 Nov 2009|04:44pm] eyelid Pro-Choice Resources, an MN pro-choice group, is looking for abortion stories to submit to Senator Al Franken to oppose the Stupak Amendment. In particular they want stories from MN women, and especially MN women who are willing to disclose their names, but any and all stories are helpful. They should contain the following information: - The circumstances surrounding your pregnancy (your age, employment status, relationship status etc.) - Why abortion was the right choice for you - The type of medical insurance you had or did not have (and if it did or did not cover abortion) - Why abortion care is an essential part of women’s healthcare and why it should be paid for by all insurance companies (If abortion wasn't the right choice for you, but you are still glad you had that choice, you could still submit your story.) If you could help out, I know PCR would really appreciate it. Women who have had abortions should and must be heard on this issue. 15 comments|post comment

Hot Spots [13 Nov 2009|04:13pm] righteousbaby Hi everyone, My husband and I live in Michigan, but are thinking about relocating to Minneapolis. My parents live in Woodbury, so we'd like to be within a 30 minute drive of them. I am wondering if you can tell me what the "trendiest" (I hate that description) areas are. I mean that in a general sense. I'm not looking for anyplace with specific types of people or anything. Just areas with a lot of activity (restaurants, bars, foot traffic etc...). My husband would be opening a private studio, and we are looking for someplace that would get good foot traffic, but also be somewhere that you'd want to drive over to (as the area would have offerings for you while you were visiting). I know this is vague, so thanks for any help you do give. (x-posted to ljtwincities) 32 comments|post comment

Canfield's Diet Chocolate Fudge Soda [04 Nov 2009|11:04pm] techieguru Has anyone seen this in grocery stores in the area (or alternately, the Diet Cherry Chocolate Fudge Soda)? It used to be sold in the store that was where the new Seward Co-op is, but I haven't seen it elsewhere, and it's fairly expensive online. 4 comments|post comment

help me move a bed with your truck? [04 Nov 2009|09:40pm] puddleofglass I bought a queen-sized mattress at Salvation Army but don't have a car (or one for borrowing that's big enough) to move it with, and someone from Craigslist said they'd help me deliver it to my house. Unfortunately, he cancelled after postponing a day. -sigh- The bed has already been sitting there for the 3 days they allow, I'm hoping to catch them tomorrow to see if the mattress is still there, and if I can still have it without paying for it again. Is there anyone that would be willing to move my mattress in their truck from the Salvation Army in uptown Minneapolis (900 4th Ave N) to my apartment (just off Lyndale and Franklin, about 1.5 miles away)? I'm obviously willing to pay you for your time and gas! (edited for clarity) 6 comments|post comment

Affordable Highlights? [03 Nov 2009|01:15pm] rainydayparade Hello, I've decided I want to get highlights...but they are really expensive at my salon.  I was just wondering if any of you know of any highlight deals.  I thought about Aveda institute but am nervous it will end up taking 12 hours.  Any advice would be appreciated.  Thanks! 1 comment|post comment

Roommate wanted~ $200/month in Stevens Square [03 Nov 2009|03:12am] hry2007 My wife and I have a fairly large 1 bedroom in Stevens Square, and to help in the pinching of pennies, are looking to rent out living room space to someone looking for a really good deal, that doesn't need a ton of privacy (we'll put up partitions or curtains for the area, but that only does so much). Enough room for a twin or loft bed, and dresser, and we have a desk you can use if you like. You'd also have use of a pretty well equiped kitchen, and there is storage space (including an area for bikes) and laundry on-site. Rent price includes utilities/internet/etc, two months rent to move in.  Must be gay friendly, as we are lesbos. Female preferred. We have two cats, so this isn't for folks with allergies. We don't have space for additional pets, sorry. We're in our mid-twenties, fairly laid back. She works full-time and I work and am in school, so we'd prefer someone who keeps fairly standard hours or is a heavy sleeper (my wife leaves for work before 6).  Of course, it's hard to know if a roommate situation will work out or not before meeting in person, but ideally we'd find someone to rent for the next several months, assuming all goes well. We're not total neat freaks, but we try to keep the place tidy (maybe 7 out of 10), and don't want to live with a slob. A good time now and again is fine (not in the apartment though), but if you have substance abuse issues, or other such drama, move along. Sorry for the tldr. Once again, the rent is $200/month, first and last months rent to move in, aka $400. It's cheap and a convenient location. Please pass this on to friends you think might be interested, and message if you'd like to look at the place. 2 comments|post comment

Facials [29 Oct 2009|06:43pm] rebeccax No, not that kind.  The spa kind.  I want to get a facial and the only place I've ever been is ReVamp in Uptown.  I don't want to go back because they talk non-stop in an endless sales pitch for me to buy products I have no intention of purchasing.  My neighborhoods are Uptown, Downtown Minneapolis, near northeast but I'm willing to go just about anywhere in the Twin Cities.  Thanks in advance! 13 comments|post comment
