    what is there to do in big lake minnesota???
    Question:
    so my boyfriend and i are visiting family in big lake (near minneapolis i think) for a week. we were supposed to go to hawaii, but some bad things came up with his fam in minnesota, so now we are going there on 'vacation'. i want to make the best out of a bad situation... its not my dream location for a vacation, so any ideas on fun things to do will help. we are going mid-october. thanks! i will give points!!!!

    Answer:
    Big Lake is a small bedroom community about 30 miles nw of minneapolis.It is a pretty boring town that does not offer much, unless you want to shop for furniture as they have a huge furniture store there,also if you want to shop there is the outlet at albertville and that is only a few miles away and they have good outlet stores,Nike,ralph lauren etc ..there are a couple hundred stores.If you are not into shopping ,you are best off comong into the twin cities where there is tons to see and do.Big Lake itself is pretty boring.Good Luck....I live in suburban minneapolis about 20 miles from big lake.

    I live in Minnesota, can I put my goldfish in a nearby pond or lake?
    Question:
    I live in Minnesota and I have recently accepted two free goldfish from a biology teacher at a local school. I bought a 10 gallon aquarium that I thought I could keep them in with my beta, but I've found out that they don't like the temperature and that they grow too big. I refuse to let them die, but is it okay and safe for the fish for me to take them to a lake nearby and let them free? Do goldfish live in lakes? I've head that they dwell in icy rivers, how about icy lakes? I'm just worried about the winter and I want to make sure they'll have other fishy friends in there. Otherwise, where can I take them?

    Answer:
    I would not let them loose into any waterway, as you could upset the eco-system. Same holds true with letting go crayfish, fiddler crabs, fresh water invertebrates. Perhaps you can find somewhere in your area which actually house goldfish, koi, etc. that people cannot keep anymore. This is usually a manmade lake of some sort. I know we have here in our town. Call your local offices and see if you can find out. In the alternative, contact your pet shops that sell fish, they sometimes will take them off your hands. This is just my opinion mind you, and not everyone will feel the same. I hope this helps. Good luck!! ;o)

    Lake Vermilion Minnesota Fishing?
    Question:
    I am going to Lake Vermilion at end of August. Staying on East side of lake by Everetts Bay. Going to try Everetts Bay and Pike Bay for pike and muskie and Big Bay for walleyes. I'm looking for any advice from someone who has fished this lake as it is my first time there. Not looking for general fishing tips. Rather I'm looking for any tips, baits, techniques, hazards and/or any locations specific to this lake. This is my yearly vacation and trying Minnesota instead of my yearly hike to Canada. I'm from Wisconsin and trying something closer to home and no border headaches.Thanks.

    Answer:
    One of the best ways to learn a lake fast is to go with a guide the first time. They have years and years of experience on that particular water, and know tricks you may never think of. Then after a day with them, you can try your own hand at it.

    Where are there mansions/big houses in minnesota? (easy points)?
    Question:
    My husband and I are looking for a house, we went from a family of 3 in a medium/larger size apartment to a family of 5, just had twins. My husband plays professional baseball in MN and we are looking for a new house, a bigger house, maybe on a lake, a nice/safe neighborhood for our kids, a large enough yard for the girls to play outside. Any suggestions?

    Answer:
    1. Lake Minnetonka if you want suburban. Better chance for a yard. 2. City lakes: Lake of the Isles, Lake Harriet or Lake Calhoun if you want urban. Much more for the kids to do in the city, still safe. Check out www.edinarealty.com. Lots of great schools in both areas.

    Vacationing in Minnesota on a budget PlEASE HELP!!?
    Question:
    Let me try to keep the background story short I grew up taking vacations in Minnesota every summer.. My father was from there, and all his side of the family still live there. Well, dad's been gone since 99, but I still think alot about his big brother and big sister, who still live there (uncle is in Bemidji, where they grew up.. Aunt is near ST. Paul) anyway, my sis in law (mostly) and I decided we HAVE to get up there this summer, as it's been aLONG time, and my uncle's health hasn't been the best, we don't know how long he'll be around (near 70, already fought cancer) The problem is, we are VERY low budget.. we don't have much money at all.. we'll be driving (yes, it will still be cheapest...sigh) IT will be three adults (me, brother, sis-in law) and their two kids (ages 4 and 9 months) I'm especially concerned about lodging... everything is MINIMUM 60$ a night, which adds up quickly.. it would be SO nice to stay on a lake in the Bemidji area for at least a few nights To be honest, Dad made pretty good money, and we usually would stay at a cozy, rustic resort on a lake (often Cass Lake) I've been trying to research the resorts, KOA cabins (which seem to possibly be our best bet, financially) etc, etc.. I think we'll need two rooms, unless one room has at least a queen and two single beds, and is rather spacey... I've been looking at two room options.. I don't mind sharing a room with my 4 year old neice, but WOULD mind sharing a bed.. My nephew will proabably use a travel "Crib" (you know, the fold-n-go playpens that can be used as a crib) Anyway does ANYONE have any tricks or tips I maybe haven't thought of.. I REALLY want us to be able to afford this vacation!!! Please Help... Oh, no, we cannot stay with family.. It would be badly imposing, and besides my uncle still lives in the house they grew up in, TINY TINY TINY.. at best, he has one couch... Camping MAY be an option.. we'd have to rent a roof luggage carrier to be able to bring the gear.. OUr main concern is the amount of mosquitoes and ticks in the summer in that part of the country..and possibly how hard it could be to keep warm at night.. (remember.. Bemidji is not far from the Canadian Border!!) We're open to just about any lodging option besides staying with family (just isn't an option for various reasons)..

    Answer:
    I just think you are going to have a tough time finding anything cheap especially on a weekend on a lake in Bemidji. I would try a mom and pop resort. I don't know of one specifically, just start googling. I googled "Lake Resort Bemidji" and various lake cabins came up. Good Luck.

    Moving to Georgia from Minnesota?
    Question:
    Me, my husband and 2 kids are planning on moving from Minnesota to Georgia with our 2 cats. We are looking to rent a home in a family-friendly neighborhood that has the best schools, low rent ($1,000 or less). Yes, I know..... I want it all. Who doesn't? Currently, we live in Forest Lake, MN. A small growing town of approx. 4,000 people. Its close to shopping, schools, tight community where you know people from the store and talk. Are their any communities in GA like that? I also want to know the big differences between MN & GA. Yeah, I know, hot & humid (we get that here) and no smow (can't wait!) I hate the cold! Any information about Georgia is greatly appreicated! Thanks! Me, my husband and 2 kids are planning on moving from Minnesota to Georgia with our 2 cats.

To make sure we like it & such. I have been looking at feyetteville, dunwoody, sandy springs, alpharetta, but need more info PLEASE. Thanks again! I have been researching on the web and we are planning on going down there to check it out before we move there. To make sure we like it and get the feel for it. I have been looking at feyetteville, dunwoody, sandy springs, alpharetta, stockbridge, marietta, kennesaw, pretty much the suburbs. But I will only have 3 days to check things out and can't hit every place in that short amoun t of time. What are the top one's I should consider? Thanks again!

    Answer:
    Georgia is full of communities like that, except for the Metro Atlanta area! Good luck and welcome--just remember that "y'all" is plural and only use it when talking to two or more people. And don't put sugar on your grits! PS--The places you list are all in the Atlanta area. Be prepared for heavy traffic--the Interstates in and around Atlanta are notorious--scary if you're not used to it. Also, prices (housing and such) are higher there than in other parts of the state. We're in central GA--convenient to Atlanta & less than 3 hrs. from mts. (north) or beaches (east). As for movies, don't think "Deliverance"--more like "Doc Hollywood", especially south GA! :)

    what was the weight of the biggest fish you caught?
    Question:
    mine was a 32lb. muskie, on 1 of our beautiful lakes here in minnesota, and what a fight it was to get it in the boat, i had help of course. this is where a man comes in very handy. oh, and it was caught 15 minutes after the season opened and i was the only female in our fishing party of 8, beginners luck !!!

    Answer:
    In fresh water, it was an 18 lb. bass in Washington State at a place called Klineline before it got too popular and populated. Before they made it into an actual park I kept messing with it with about an inch of worm strung up thru my hook. It kept slowy biting it down until there was like a nibble left and when I felt it slightly bite I SET THE HOOK! It was great! I caught it just up over some cave, so I was sitting on top of the cave and the bass was back in behind, inside the cave under me. The largest salt water fish would be a white shark caught in Puget Sound. I was about 20 years old and I hoped it was a grouper, but it was about an 80 pounder. It was frightening but what an experience it was. Did not keep it, but my dad at the time, slit it up the gut and cut the line. I also caught a 22 lb. halibut off of the Redondo Beach Pier in Washington State, just north of Federal Way I believe. The pier was full of guys fishing for salmon or anything really, and I walked up with my meatcase shelled shrimp---about as big as your middle finger bent, and slid one on my hook. Within about 5 minutes I had something so huge on. When I tried to pull it up, the men would not help me and I was not strong enough. Finally I said "Ok, one of you guys is going to need to be the hero", and one guy walked out saying "No Problem"! He pulled the line up over the dock about 15 feet up or so and then all the men told me that I needed to put it back, blah blah blah. I told them that I was just going to look at it for a while, so they all were jealous, but went back to their fishing. After about 2 minutes I asked my friend to take it in the black garbage bag and put it in my trunk. He did and later that night we had fresh halibut. There's more but not enough room. The End!

    Canadians...can I get an honest, unbias hockey power ranking for U.S. states?
    Question:
    Can't ask Minnesota, cuz they'll say Minnesota. Can't ask The Great Lake State, cuz we'll say The Great Lake State. Where I live (on Lake St. Clair, half hour north of Detroit) hockey is the biggest sport. It helps growing up on the lake. I am under the impression that Michigan is the biggest hockey state. Minnesota has been known to pump a lot of players into the league, but there's only a marginal difference in the number that they put in the league and Michigan does. The same goes for Massachusetts and New York. Personally, I think Michigan has higher-caliber talent in the league (Modano, Weight, Rolston, Rafalski, Hatchers...etc.) whereas I can only name a few very talented Minnesotans like Zach Parise, but a larger number of average talent than Mich. Take into account prep, junior, minor, college, and pro hockey, as well as the fans. Please consider MI's economy (ticket sales) too. My rankings: 1st tier: Mich Minn Mass NY 2nd tier: CT IL WI Maine ND CO Either way, go hockey! wooooooooooooooooooooooo I forgot to mention Pennsylvania. As much as I hate the Pens, I would consider Pennsylvania second tier. Conn. is definitely a hockey state, per capita. For the same reason, I think Michigan is a bigger hockey state than Minnesota. We have about 5 to 6 million more people than them. Minnesota, by percentage, might be more of a hockey state. In shear numbers, it's Michigan. Illinois is not so much a hockey state so much as Chicago is a hockey city (2nd tier of course, but they do produce some players). There are a few other states I could have mentioned but ran out of space. ADD 2 - Thanks a lot for the link to Zam's answer. I've been looking for similar statistics for a long time. He makes a great case. It may not matter to you, being Canadian, what state is the biggest into hockey, because the biggest of hockey states would be the smallest of hockey provinces. State rivalries in the U.S. are something to cherish. It is a matter of opinion for the most part, and this question was only posed to spark debate. If the issue isn't a matter, then don't answer it. That's great that you can name more Elitserien and SM liiga teams than American universities. Too bad we destroy each European country. Our contribution to the sport is 2nd only to Canada (approx. 53% of the league is Canadian, 20-25% American) I didn't ask for an international power ranking. I asked for an interstate power ranking. If you're not going to give me your opinion on the matter, then don't give me an unrelated answer. The title "Biggest Hockey State" isn't official, nor does it really matter to me. Everytime I try to talk to Canadians, why do I get this sense of arrogance and apathy towards US hockey? ADD #359 LeafsFan - thank you for giving me exactly what I asked for, regardless of your opinion. Good points, I appreciate your perspective. Let me also add, to address some other points, that Detroit suffers in the same way Boston might with successful teams. Sure the Tigers lost in the World Series a few years back (2006 I think?) and the Pistons haven't won a championship in about 5 years or so, but they are competitive. There is also a very strong support for college sports in Michigan, hockey, football, and basketball alike. There are many more evenly distributed fanbases in Michigan worth watching (or even not worth watching like the Lions, who still have millions of loyal fans for some reason) than people realize.

    Answer:
    i'll try to find Zam's answer... it addresses all of this. it basically said that Michigan was. not just quantity, but quality also (arguably). no disrespect to Minn. but Michigan had the most leagues at the most levels w/ the most participation. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ag bqwmNCRi8yRzW6RhKm77Dty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20071017151359AAiWMyO&show= 7#profile-info-3d6336e748e1dab1972f475294efe2a8aa i THINK this was the question. very good answer. even if you don't agree.

    Pehaps your resume needs some help. Be proactive. Don't just email your resume to people, make phone calls and talk to managers. Do research on the places you want to work and be ready to tell them why you'd be a good match for their company. It is hard to give advise not knowing what you're applying for.
