  1. I'm really bad about seeing these threads too late. If you can remember, bump this thread before next season and I'll be in for the season contest.
  2. It's going to be hard to speak to owners about whether they like the HOA since it's a new townhome community. You said it scares the shit out of you not being able to control everything. That's a red flag, but you're aware of it. In the worst case, how upset will you be if you have an overzealous HOA member who measures the height of your mailbox? Can you live with that? Can you live within the ordinary rules of most HOA's that don't have an overzealous board member? If the answer is yes, you're probably ok. The green flag you stated is that you currently live in a historic district. In most historic districts, you have to have approval to do certain types of renovations or exterior changes. You will have the same experience in an HOA in that you need to gain approval to do certain things. What Gil said about the solvency about the HOA is very important. New HOA's can be a crapshoot. Some developers are great, but others will understate the fees because they want to present low HOA fees to new buyers. If possible, see if the developer has developed any other HOA's and see if you can talk to a board member at one of those HOA's. Did the developer fully fund reserves during the initial operating period when the developer had control? Did they have a smooth transition from developer to HOA? Did they have to sue the developer to get what they needed?
  3. I have put a ridiculous amount of pressure on myself for this game. I've gotten them all so far and it's usually on guess 4. Guess 4 is also where I start stressing about being an idiot if I don't get the word. I'm refusing to hit the link for unlimited because I don't want to obsess any more than I already do on this silly game.
  4. I was probably a teenager when I figured it out. My mom had shortened it to "Chester." I thought the name for that piece of furniture was a chester. When I figured out it was a chest of drawers, I likely thought people who called it that were hoity-toity.

    I admire your dedication. Cheers to 2022!
  9. But Dan Reeves doesn't wear a scowl and is therefore not intense. (says the casual football fan who doesn't know shit about football - sensitive subject with me)
  10. I don't really give a damn about the Pro Football Hall of Fame, but I just assumed Dan Reeves would be in it. Looked it up and apparently he is not. That's a Got Damn travesty.
  11. I'd be in
  12. Like the prediction contest? 😂
  13. This isn't the old Shaggy game where you could play for free. You're expected to pay here
  14. Sine we're off topic and into the weeds, it's my opinion that Nebraska's fall in baseball is the loss of Van Horn. I can't speak at all about their other sports and affect of conference affiliation.
  15. Funny you mentioned that. I was worried about her not coming back and then we looked so dominant in Big 12 play I had a false sense of how good we were.
  16. We beat ourselves. I feel much differently about the result last year compared to this year. I thought we were better but was clearly wrong.

    Invested in volleyball at the moment but it's not going well.
  19. We are still playing
  20. Horrible timing for an overpass
  21. You have said this every year and you're correct.
  22. Hell yes! I couldn't tune in until the third set and thought we were done. Great turnaround!
  23. This woman continues to dumbfound me. I laughed at that video because she is so fucking stupid. I think after a certain age, some people are so stupid they cant learn. Jenna must be one of these people, so I'm just going to laugh at her.
