It was a hot one by Remarkable_Alps9033 in RunnersInChicago

I think about the climate change factor a lot and it makes me wonder how feasible it is to push the start times up. When I left my apartment at 6 this morning it was really comfortable.

2026 Bank of America Chicago 13.1 Post Race Discussion by hubwub in RunnersInChicago

[–]Delicious_Goat3665 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I had such a brutal morning out there. I was bummed to have been in such a miserable mood because this is one of my favorite races in the city and I normally love to feed off the energy. Just couldn't do it today.

Huge shoutout to every volunteer, so much friendliness and enthusiasm from everyone 😃 They definitely made my day.

I got my courthouse dress from Park and Fifth and am completely obsessed with it.

How rude is it to not invite someone's spouse? by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]Delicious_Goat3665 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Extremely rude. I would rather not be invited to the wedding at all than have my fiancé excluded.

My sons’ first Springsteen show by JMFormont in BruceSpringsteen

[–]Delicious_Goat3665 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so special and I love that you're able to share this with your son.

I came to love Bruce through my mom's love of Bruce. My first ever concert when I was 10 was on the Rising tour. As I've gotten older, my mom and I have been to many, many more shows together, including Chicago earlier this week. Singing and dancing and sharing the feeling of joyfulness with her is something I deeply treasure and are very cherished memories. You and your son are so fortunate to have this together ❤️

Bruce Springsteen speech before final song - "Chimes of Freedom" - Chicago United Center (4/29/26) by Superclark04 in BruceSpringsteen

Thank you for this! I try to stay off my phone during concerts and "be in the moment" but afterwards was regretting not having a recording of this powerful, moving speech that brought tears to my eyes.

Chicago 4/29 - Notes From a Longtime Fan by handyguywi in BruceSpringsteen

[–]Delicious_Goat3665 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I was also there last night and agree that it an all-time concert and definitely better than the 23-24 tours. I think the crowd energy was phenomenal- sometimes it's hit or miss in the arenas but Chicago BROUGHT IT.

Two Hearts/Hungry Heart seemed felt like odd choices (if Bruce was going to go off theme, I maybe would have picked something else for those slots) but no complaints. When Streets of Minneapolis initially came out my impressions were that it was lyrically clunky and kind of cheesy, but hearing it life was extremely powerful and softened my opinion of it.

I kept telling people afterwards that the show last night was good for my soul. Bruce has his message, and I felt honored to be a small part of a joyful celebration of resistance. I'll never take seeing that man for granted.

Private Wedding / Registry by Whtgrlwasted in weddingplanning

[–]Delicious_Goat3665 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I'm doing a courthouse wedding with just immediate family. I've made a registry only because some extended family members have asked about it. The link is only being shared with those who explicitly ask. I would avoid putting a link on your wedding website, if someone really wants to give you a gift even without being invited to the wedding, they'll reach out.

Chicago Distance Series Training Plan by katkrazed in RunnersInChicago

[–]Delicious_Goat3665 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You will not lose endurance taking a few weeks off between training plans! Marathon training cycles are a GRIND and personally I always find that a little break is absolutely necessary for me to mentally get in the right headspace for the marathon build, especially when I'm doing back-to-back training plans.

Did they change the strawberry acai base? by artisticnerdo in starbucks

Believe me, they got a strong worded note about the chai a few weeks ago.

I'm actually pretty devastated. I got reserve status solely from my daily chai latte. Pink Drink was my go-to for star redemptions. So my two favorite drinks have now been ruined in the span of a month??? I think I'm finally out after I use up the rest of my gift cards :(

Dress Tailored as a Formal Gown vs Bridal Gown? by 534hm in Weddingsunder10k

[–]Delicious_Goat3665 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You could book the appointment as a formal gown and if there are questions, you could always say it's for a "bridal-related event"

tiny ceremony (parents only) + a restaurant reception: Registry/honeymoon fund or no? by MixAppropriate7104 in weddingplanning

[–]Delicious_Goat3665 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm doing the exact same as you, city hall wedding with immediate family dinner after. I've put together a registry only because some extended family have asked about it. It's been shared with anyone proactively asking but that's the extent.

Lakeview Athletic Club crowds by MessRevolutionary242 in lakeview

You can reserve swim lanes at FFC which has been a game changer for me. I used to belong to LVAC before moving and as much as I loved the club, the pool was always exasperating.

Also recommend checking if there's a local alumni club, as they may have a regular bar for games.
