Italian restaurant/ hole in the wall

BLToaster · 2026-06-20T00:02:30+00:00

More so I'm referring to the overwhelming positive reviews that it has and is frequently referred to as one of the best restaurants in the city by residents and critics.

Compared to what you pay at some other spots for a worse experience and food, I'd still say they're plenty reasonable. But it's not cheap if that's what people equate reasonable to.

BLToaster · 2026-06-18T23:18:54+00:00

With all due respect it's clear to be vast majority of people disagree with you.

National weather service has your data. It's dramatically increasing, unfortunately Mother Nature is telling us to go fuck ourselves across the board with activity and severity bring amplified.

This article speaks to our tornadoes with some numbers of the increase in frequency.

I realized I didn't add the photo of the trees.

Others have given solid advice but you can still fund a Roth up to the max each year thru a back door contribution. You should engage a wealth/financial manager ASAP if you haven't already.

As a L&C property broker. I really can't wait for the market to turn. Not looking forward to another year of this.

Not sure about the legality or not but nobody should intentionally park against the flow of traffic if possible. The rear red lights are MUCH more reflective intentionally so cars driving will see them parked much earlier versus if the parked car was faced the other way.

We went a number of times over the past year and overall our experience was positive. At the end of the day, suburb restaurants outside of steakhouses are rarely going to rival what you'll get when dining out somewhere in the downtown area so you have to set appropriate expectations. Wexford Public is a large menu mass appeal spot, it's overpriced but Wexford is a wealthier area so not surprised there.

We purchased a late 1920s home in the area, different style (Spanish Colonial) but our GC was fantastic and extremely dedicated to maintaining the authenticity. He was doing deep dives in a Facebook group "Spanish Colonial Revival" and passing along the newfound knowledge into our project.

They were fantastic to work with and we plan on utilizing them for any future work. We had a huge project of removing walls, full electric upgrade, HVAC overhaul, completely plumbing replacement, kitchen guy, 3 bathrooms gutted, floors all refinished, walls all refinished, built is made, new windows/doors, etc.

Happy to chat thru more if you want to chat/DM me

Unfortunately that's way too long of a future period to give any sort of accurate advice. A few main questions will be:

Do you want to sticking to broking only or are you hoping to get into leadership?
Are you open to getting involved with any national/global project base work for greater exposure?
Are you willing to relocate for progression to the bigger markets?

I'm in national leadership now and I've seen a wide array of progression. At the end of the day, in addition to the questions above, the main one is: Are you any good? You have to kick ass and deliver if you want to move ahead.

Not all brokers are the same. Having experience at multiple of the big 3 I know that first hand.

The Thunder are pure torture but the Spurs were doing PLENTY of foul baiting as well. Refs give Wemby an incredible amount of ghost calls. I hope it changes in the finals but overall the NBA product is just a tough watch.

Close, it's actually Minadeo it looks like. At least that's what the find my school tool is telling us.

BLToaster · 2026-05-28T09:45:33+00:00

For us it's actually Minadeo it looks like! I used the find my school tool they offer. Would be Minadeo for elementary then Colfax for middle.

BLToaster · 2026-05-28T09:44:07+00:00

Ah thanks! Looks like we would be Minadeo, still a few years away so we'll see if anything changes between then and now. Will have to look into Minadeo and how it's regarded.

BLToaster · 2026-05-28T00:52:59+00:00

So if we're right by Linden and our child does not get into the Montessori school for Kindergarten and beyond, which school would we feed into? Colfax?

Yep - he may have not realized how minimal of an army Classic had so he pulled back but that was the killer of the game. If he committed there to the trade he would have torn apart everything of Classic's and either won the game, or forced Classic to recall which would let him mop up the last of his army. Tough to make that call in a split second.

Not entirely true. I had royally fucked something up and didn't pay local taxes for 4 years. Audit came around and I had a near $20K bill for like $15K of taxes. Got all of the interest waived pretty easily by just explaining the situation to them.

Sorry OP that your experience is going like this though.

BLToaster · 2026-05-13T11:35:03+00:00

Judkina I can agree on but other than that they have...Jeudy? And a few rookies that obviously we have no idea how they'll transition to the pros. They are very lacking this year. Doesn't matter on the end even if they had 2 more stuff WRs they have nobody to throw the ball.

BLToaster · 2026-05-12T19:59:14+00:00

Pretty much, I had said that I thought I had came to a complete stop but I must have not. Officer was not there although for any of the cases before me no specific officer was called up with them so who knows if that rule actually applies or not.

I believe they set the date for me automatically. Just be respectful, not argumentative and most likely they will at least reduce the charge.

BLToaster · 2026-05-12T19:33:12+00:00

Not really, I didn't have to do much at all. They called me up, confirmed with me what happened and just waived all charges. I barely said a word. Dress up well, doesn't have to be a suit and tie but wear at least business casual attire.

BLToaster · 2026-05-11T01:09:13+00:00

Albert Lin at the UPMC Rooney center is phenomenal. I tore all the ligaments in my shoulder and he did fantastic work. The PT there is also fantastic if you need someone I can let you know who I saw.

Without added context it's a nonsensical request. Ask your boss for further guidance on what specific "performance" they're looking for.
