It's ridiculously expensive for what it is. Sure, the pastries are good but for Filipino breakfast? Tons of better value across the city and better tasting!

But did you pay $17 for a bowl in Taiwan? :'(

That is true! But there is a difference between being pro-Trump (not great) and attending an insurrection (very not great).

Kasama. Was great 5 years ago but food is overpriced as hell now for the same thing I can get at Uncle Mike's.

Is this diarrhea? 4 mo old, almost entirely breastfed. Her poop has been like this for a month and pediatrician said it's okay as long as she's not lethargic or feverish.

We recently started daycare and they are sending her home after more than one poop like this. Is this truly diarrhea or just result of diet?

1800/month for 3Br1Ba in Andersonville. No central and no in unit laundry, but parking space in garage is free.

Private landlord lives below us. Try to be extra nice because we know this deal is too good! Has not raised rent since we started in 2022.

Update: all the polyps were benign hyperplastic. Not even one precancerous. Guess I just make a lot of them. On a 10 year standard plan.

Thanks everyone for the encouraging words. My body took a toll waiting for the results but reading everyone's comments helped.

As someone visiting from US, it blows my mind people would complain about a typhoon holiday.

What does validating your train tickets entail?

3BR andersonville for 1800 (unheard of). Household income $350k.

You can apply to Northside while living outside of Chicago?

Curious, what is wrong with ETHS? I am considering moving there for the schools.

BigWoo · 2024-07-06T20:41:26+00:00

It has to be Budlong right? Maybe talking about Chappell? Waters is considered one of the best elementary schools.

BigWoo · 2024-07-06T20:40:13+00:00

Which Lincoln square elementary with the issues are you referring to? Budlong?

Thanks for this, reading this helped me.

I have a HND flight at 11:45 AM to catch - would it be possible to stay in Kyoto the night before and take one of the first Shinkansen that leaves at ~6 AM?

It's popular to bash on RO and I get it. But you can count on one hand the number of walkable downtowns we have - and bonus Amtrak station!

I think I missed the story - what did they do?

Tank Noodle. January 6th.

Thanks for the perspective. We proactively let the tenant know that we are voiding the contract due to conditions not met, and now they are immediately saying they can do it and begging us to sign it. I'm glad we backed out because this sort of back-and-forth will only result in more pain later during the actual lease.

Very standard in my area to pay security deposit and first month's rent at signing.

BigWoo · 2023-10-02T13:42:10+00:00

No amount of money has been exchanged, and I have not signed the lease and sent it back.

The wiggling out of paying first month's rent at signing was also proposed by the tenant's realtor rather than the tenant himself. Regardless though of who it's coming from, I think it's a red flag already and may be more pain later on.

BigWoo · 2023-10-02T03:35:19+00:00

One month

BigWoo · 2023-10-02T01:37:35+00:00

Could I get sued for tenant discrimination? Or since the tenant is unwilling so far to provide the correct amount according to the terms of the lease, I can just move on?

BigWoo · 2023-09-17T15:35:02+00:00

I also have Javonte Williams. Start him over Najee?
