Where can I meet liberal intelligent open-minded attractive women in Bemidji?

0 Upvotes

I'm from the Twin Cities. The dating scene in Bemidji I find to be downright depressing. I have been on Tinder and matched with one woman in Bemidji and we chatted for a while, but I was too shy to ask her out. I have matched with other women on Tinder, but not in Bemidji. There aren't a lot of women active on Tinder in Bemidji, which is no surprise of course. The fact that I am bisexual obviously puts me at a disadvantage in Bemidji, because there aren't a lot of liberal open-minded women in Bemidji. I am guessing, but maybe there are more than I think.

Contractor recs

8 Upvotes

I just purchased a house that has turned out to be a nightmare. It's over 100 and I'm curious as to who anyone might recommend to help with foundation issues as well as framing and sills. I have had a couple of contractors look at it already. One of them clearly doesn't work with older homes and told me to just sheetrock over everything. I had another who had some helpful recommendations and gave me a quote but I would like some more quotes to compare. This is clearly going to be very expensive for me but I am not a house flipper. Taking out my retirement savings to pay for all this because I wanted it to be my home

Moving here in a week. Where/how do I find like minded friends around my age?

9 Upvotes

Late 30's male moving here for a new job and plan to be here for at least three years. From the twin cities working with at risk youth in a variety of settings. I'm looking for kind creative people that are more liberal-minded. I enjoy board games, chess, improv acting and I relatively like the outdoors like hiking and such. I'm kind of a catch-all so I have a lot of varying hobbies and other things I enjoy as well. Not opposed to hanging out with people in their late twenties but clearly too old for the college scene. I've done some research and I have a general idea of where I might find these types of people but do you all have any recommendations for organizations or events that I should connect with that would help speed things along? Trying to avoid a friendless cold Bemidji winter. Haha Thanks in advance for the recommendations!

New to Minnesota and a question about the lifetime fishing license

6 Upvotes

So I am new and just moved here I like fishing and see there is a lifetime fishing license. I tried to get it but says I cannot get it but doesn’t really give a reason. The only thing I see on it is age requirement 16-50 and being a resident. Do I have to be a resident for a certain amount of time? Or is there something else I am missing. Trying to reach MN DNR dept is hard apparently so figured I may get the info here.

Any parents or students of Trek North question for you

5 Upvotes

Hi there, I'm moving from Oregon and enrolling my kiddo there. Just wanted to know your experiences with this school. Would you recommend? Did you like attending, the faculty, education?thank you for your time and feedback.

edit:

now I'm feeling very uninformed lol. I wish I would have realized the type of program it is. because I didn't realize it's for youth with behavioral issues. though, my child probably falls into this category. their issues are a little different though. I'll have a chat with the school and see if its actually a good fit for us first.

Townhouse experience?

6 Upvotes

Hey Bemidji folk 👋 Wife and I are relocating to Bemidji in the spring and we’re currently mulling between buying a SFH vs buying a townhouse (not renting).

We’re a late middle-aged childless couple with no dogs and no “yard hobbies” so a townhouse feels more sensible, and leaves a SFH on the market for a young family with kids.

Do any of you currently own a townhouse in Bemidji? We’d love to hear your experience with your complex/HOA if so. Feel free to message if you don’t want to reveal location in a public message. Thanks!

Wondering if there is some virus going around, mainly a stomach virus? Gut not happy, low-grade fever, fatigue. Feeling this way has gotten really old. Wondering if it’s just me or something I’ve picked up. Thanks!

ICE raid on construction crews

I wonder if the "baddest of the bad" got targeted. Does Bemidji feel safer in ICE's presence?

And why Bemidji? We know 47 has an axe to grind against MN...I do not follow Bemidji news on a regular basis.

Siding/window repair or replacement

4 Upvotes

I recently inherited a family cabin that is in need of some wood siding and window repairs from the July storm last year. I've inquired at several places in the area but I keep getting ghosted when I request quotes.

Does anyone here have a suggestion for a contractor I could use?

anyone else thinks our Tacobell sucks now?

19 Upvotes

like it seems like only a third of the options actually show up on the little IPads in the store and the staff feel like they're actively avoiding you when you need their help.

Heaven help you hoping you think you can get some cold, fizzy pop from their too.
