Anyone ever hear of a Okeowo Emmanuel. B.?  He wants to join HN Alumn on FB but I don't know who he is.

I have no idea who that is.  Have you asked him for clarification?

EDIT: I just look a look... I don't think that's anyone we knew, just some random guy trying to join a random group.

Yep.  We have to ban idiots from HN and HN doesn't even exist anymore.  Seriously, WxTxF.

I just sent him a message asking him what his username was on HN.  The Lizard Queen request is next.

I'm thinking about buying a condo at the start of the new year and was wondering what I should take into consideration? So far, all I know is to watch out for excessive HOA fees. That's about it.  :-( Advice plz, kthx.

Not only large HOA fees but also find out about recent special assessments and their reserve.  Since you own everything between the outside paint, when things like water mains, need for re-roofing, common area repairs and maint, etc. will be picked up by the HOA.  If the HOA doesn't have sufficient reserves for these, they do special assessments where you could be hit with a one time fee of multiple thousands of dollars.  My wife used to manage an HOA in Shell Beach and they were looking at a huge special assessment to repair a seawall.
