LMAO. Serious?

yes it makes a good mixed drink to be honest....not sure if I would make a night of drinking with it, but a couple of cold ones on a warm day or a couple after 2 weeks of dryness, tastes good.

No long weekend for me. I need the hours right now for the extra cash. My condo closes on Tuesday and the property tax bill took all my extra money. I kinda suspected it would so I was prepared for the worst even though it does not make me happy.

[Riggs75]

yeah for us lol

don't property taxes suck! what a rediculous idea that I have to pay tax on land that I already bought.

[LithiuM23]

My training partner has been complaining about his property taxes for over a month now, $2,800 apparently..that's no small chunk!

Happy Easter everyone!

Kinda off topic I'm sure, but I feel the need to announce that for my first winter in Edmonton, I have very little to complain about. It was amazing! Hopefully the trend doesn't carry over into summer and we just have a mild season all year round, ha. I plan on wearing summer dresses and spending as much time at the lake as possible, so it'd better be nice!

How do you like the city? I may be moving there in the next little while if all goes well.

Hey, was a pretty mild winter for us out east as well...def not a typical winter for us so we really have nothing to complain about and its starting to warm up gradually day by day as well. Although I did hear we might be in for a bit of snow tomorrow?

[Rozlyn27]

I'm from a really small town and was petrified when I first moved here. But after a few months here, I find I really like it. Kind of ugly, but it's easy to get around, traffic while not great, isn't the worst in the world and comparetively to places like Van, it's super slow moving. While I'm not committing to spending the rest of my life here, I wouldn't be upset if that happened.

Yeah, we got a snowstorm a couple days ago that pretty much stopped traffic, haha. Gone today though. I think the whole country got off easy this year.

We're looking at places in Sherwood Park, or maybe Fort Saskatchewan. Any thoughts on those places?

Well taxes for a condo are the same rate as if I was to buy a house with property....about $2550 a year, which I think is crap considering that there are 50 units using the same piece of property that I cannot do anything to

Yeah, that's an even bigger rip off than having a house on your own piece of land...and is there still condo fees on top of that?

[LithiuM23]

Yeah, that's an even bigger rip off than having a house on your own piece of land...and is there still condo fees on top of that?

Yeah I think most places charge at least $1,200 a year for maintenance fees...or so I'm told.

[heidar3stur]

hey people... who here live's in Vancouver?
I am moving there early 2013. What is the best gym there? I would like to get a job at some gym

[sglgirl]

Yeah, that's an even bigger rip off than having a house on your own piece of land...and is there still condo fees on top of that?

Yes condo fees are on top of that at $205/mth. However my condo fees do include heat and hot water as well as property maintenance, underground heated parking, fitness centre, storage room, on site super, etc. I am only responsible for anything that happens inside the condo like wall repair, appliances. Condo fees cover anything inside the walls and the exterior. So if I came home to a major window leak or something, that is the condo associations responsibility to repair window and damages associated to it.

I thought ya said 2:03 at first. I was like wow, specific.

We had pulled pork from the slow cooker yesterday, that was our easter dinner.

We're looking at places in Sherwood Park, or maybe Fort Saskatchewan. Any thoughts on those places?

Sherwood Park is a little more expensive and is kind of an aging community, at least according to the people I've spoken to who live there. Nice enough place, I worked up there and am taking my course there right now. It's nice that it's not right in the city.

Never been to Fort Sask, so have no input on it. Have no plans to go to Fort Sask, since men I dislike live there, bahaha.

Sherwood park is a lot nicer, with a lot of newer construction going on. It can be a lot more expensive though. Ft Sask is a nice place about 15 mind from the most north part of Edmonton. Where as Sherwood park is approx 15 mins south and east of the city.

Ft Sask is a small place but can be nice if you want a more simple life. A lot of really rich people live in Sherwood park, so sometimes it can be a little snobby.

Happy Easter Canucklers. Not sure if anyone is watching the Masters, I only get to watch the leaderboard while I am at work but man Phil sure had a great day yesterday and brought himself up substantially in the standings.

Woods for the fail?

Fort Sask is a ways out of town, for the guy who was asking previously. But lots have relocated there as the drive into the city is fairly simple and the housing market is still cheap out there.

I would say Woods has failed. He is starting today tied for 38....
