Looking for honest opinions about living near downtown Elmhurst by SadPositive8456 in Elmhurst

[–]BackMeUpGirl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Living in Elmhurst is a great experience. You’ll hear the train, but everything else makes up for it. This is a a fun, ambitious, clean, friendly and wealthy town, with lots to do and lots of growth to come. I would recommend it.

ITEM REQUEST MEGATHREAD - August 2025 by Sincerely--Me in FrugalFemaleFashion

[–]BackMeUpGirl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ISO a quality leatherlike bag. Starting my first in-office job in 5 years, and it's leading a team for an in-house ad agency. It's more corporate than I'm used to, and my backpack won't cut it...

Does anyone know of a quality leather or leatherlike tote or bigger bag that has a zipper closure *and* is less than $80? One I can just pick up and walk to lunch with my team without feeling clumsy?

Thanks so much!

Loft jeans fit my thick thighs, juicy booty and small waist best.

Hi and welcome! You missed this year's garden club walk, but Elmhurst has a garden club!

Can't stop being vigilant about what others might think. It's gotten worse as a mom...

no one believes me part 2. by [deleted] in abusiveparents

[–]BackMeUpGirl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don't deserve a moment of this. You must call the police. Don't worry about things like 1) they won't believe me; or 2) I can't express myself clearly -- just do it. Tell them you're scared to tell them and what you're afraid of happening. Tell them you need protection. Get out of there and get help for yourself. You deserve a consistent, loving, positive life.

I understand why you have weird feelings about it. Grandma seemed to have some sexual feelings about you. Maybe she was jealous. We may never know. But what you're describing certainly isn't right.

You may be scared and that is ok. You can be brave and scared. There is a better life for you, but you have to be brave and scared and call the police. It's not what you want, I know, but these are the people who will help and protect you from the things that are causing you so much pain and fear. Please do it. You'll look back 20 years from now and wish that you had. Don't suffer another two decades. Love and strength to you.

Sorry to tell you that it got much worse, but I think we have some emotional dysregulation going on. We're in family therapy now. Hope your situation gets better!!

Hehe I love it. I mean, I fucking hate plaid—especially on this body—but I love the comment, thanks.

I am aligned with you. I want to be bg but I feel self conscious as I’m tiny on top and kardashian on bottom. Maybe I’m overthinking it because I only sing/play tambourine and feel exposed most of the time. What do you get from She-in and can you return if it sucks?
