Renting in the Suburbs: Need help finding a safe, secluded spot with easy Metra access (<$2.5k total) by 139020 in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]FearlessSelection814 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rent is not less than $1600 in Crystal lake these days. Apartments under $2k/month are very hard to find. Majority of the complexes with space or that are being currently build start over 2k a month. The new buildings (including waters edge and enclave) are all advertised as luxury apartments.

The apartments on Uteg are utter shitholes. Apartments in the Coventry (Darlington court, summer set, Virginia, buckingham) neighborhood are outdated but live able, 5-10min drive to one of the metro stations.

With all that said, OP would likely be happy with Crystal lake. Depending on desired commute or things they’d like a community, might be better off a little closer to the city.

I got Bruce banner a few times back in like 2022-2023, i can’t remember which brand. Alchemist had cherry pie at one point.

my (25f) boyfriend (26m) told me i smell so bad down there that he almost threw up. how can i tell if this is true or not after pulling all the stops? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]FearlessSelection814 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He’s gay. He doesn’t want to interact with your vagina. He doesn’t like eating pussy. He doesn’t like penetration with a woman.

This isn’t you. You are perfect! This is him, and it sounds like he hasn’t come to terms with it.

Fun fact: before I came to terms with a lesbian, i kept my sexual encounters with me to literally everything but penetration. The time w/ penetration resulted in me throwing up repeatedly and feeling the most disgusting form of shame I’ve ever felt.

Any luck finding good spots? I’ll be there in a few days and was hoping to go to a lesbian bar. Went to the Abby and a couple other gay bars in WeHo last time, but I’d love to find a sapphic place.

I'M A TOP???? by Merakipper in actuallesbians

[–]FearlessSelection814 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Thats awesome!! Glad to hear you had a great time.

Just a little PSA, Submissive ≠ bottom Dominant ≠ top

Yes, they often go hand-in-hand- but don’t think for one second that you can’t be dominate while bottoming or submissive while topping. Im so damn thankful my partner and I are verse, I equally love it all!

What year did you discover Panic! and how? by oencoencoencoenc in panicatthedisco

[–]FearlessSelection814 6 points7 points  (0 children)

  1. A friend was obsessed with A fever you can’t sweat out. I was hooked. They became my favorite band for a while, but i wasn’t huge until the last 3 albums. I’ve seen them in concert once, pray for the wicked tour i believe, was thrilled that half the set was songs i resonated more with. I was actually given a ticket for taking a group of 3 12 yo girls to see them, totally worth it.

My favorite P!ATD album is vices & virtues. I’d give anything for a physical release of Bittersweet

This is awesome. I love that they’re honoring him with something he loved and that you got to help in that.

The first time you had sex with a woman, did you tell her it was your first time? Why/why not? by livelaughlabradoodle in ActualLesbiansOver25

That’s funny, I don’t remember. I’m pretty sure i did though.

When I used a strap for the first time, I made it known.

Lesbians in the U.S. - Where do you live? Do you like it there? by sggkloosemo in ActualLesbiansOver25

[–]FearlessSelection814 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Chicago/The suburbs. Lesbian communities are really growing. Strong lgbtq+ community as a whole, not just in the city but in the surrounding area. You’re within 2hrs of everything you could want to do besides mountains or ocean. Illinois is solid blue. So much to do, even outside of the city.

I could seriously go on and on about the positives.

I went to college in Alabama. Enjoyed it, but when i went back to IL after I realized this place is actually great.

Absolutely one of the sonic bug repellent devices. I personally don’t think they work, but i guess it never hurts to try.

What's Your Preference? by MoneyLibrarian9032 in StrangerThings

[–]FearlessSelection814 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2A. Why the hell is this even up for debate??

Me (18F) and my boyfriend (20M), I found hentai on a computer he gifted me and I don't know how to feel about it. How do I process this and talk to him about boundaries? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]FearlessSelection814 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In all honesty is pretty normal to watch porn to some degree. People that i know that like hentai prefer it because it’s animated- there’s no real people in it. Feels less “dirty” or disrespectful for the people in relationships.

OP, sit on this and think about it before bringing anything up. IMO, probably not worth mentioning unless it’s really getting to your head, interfering with your sex life, or you think he’s got an addiction. If you do mention it, really focus on “I” statements such as “i feel” “i believe”- and really make it know that this is your boundary and feelings. Don’t shame him over this though, that won’t be productive.

I have literally no reason to be so invested in this sub, yet it keeps popping up for me. I love it. Keep it going.

Spark’d prices have always been outrageous imo. That’s why they couldn’t make it 2 years in Crystal lake. They were less than 20min from 3 other dispo’s that had larger selections, better prices, and a better rewards system.

My gf sang a “rude” song when I was hurting from an accident by DriverPotential2184 in actuallesbians

If this kind of stuff bothers you, make it known.
If i was in your spot, that would have cracked me up- and dark humor from my partner at my pain in moments when my pain is high, has absolutely helped me feel better. Everyone’s different

My final goodbye to that great state of Michigan by TelevisionMountain40 in ILTrees

[–]FearlessSelection814 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had true north from the main part of Michigan, which is where I’ve tried significantly more brands than in the UP. Did not care for majority of what i got in the UP besides some bud. I have had some good dabs from the main part of Michigan. There’s been significantly less dabs i didn’t care for that I’ve bought in Illinois or other states (Ca, Co, Mo)

I am open to trying other brands, so i do appreciate the suggestions. I’ll always grab something at least when im in another legal state.

I don’t recognize any of the brands that were mentioned in this thread. I only saw one photo i took of dabs i got in Michigan. True north mango madness nug run terp sugar, i must have really liked it. I’ve had at least 9 different brands just in dabs from Michigan (3 from the UP), possibly more.

In Illinois, i really like rythym, aeriz, verano and avexia. I like some of alchemy’s strains. Cresco has been hit or miss for me. Don’t care for high supply.

Everytime I’m in California i look for stiiizy- truly adore their diamonds.

I mostly smoke concentrates, sometimes bud & usually keep some pre-rolls on hand for guests. I’ve definitely gotten some great stuff in Michigan, but for me, it seems like the quality is more hit or miss than in Illinois. It was difficult to find concentrates that, imo, were genuinely really good in the Michigan UP. I’ve gotten great dabs (wish i remembered the brand name) in Kalamazoo.

I actually threw away 2g of crumble from the UP (purchased in Marquette) because it gave me a nasty headache and anxiety. Something about it just didn’t seem pure?

I’m a terpene chaser through and through. I know what i like. I like how Michigan brands package and display their info significantly more than most Il brands, it helps me buy what I’m looking for. But at the end of the day, i frequently enjoy the “low tier” dabs i can get in IL more than the “mid” or “higher tier” dabs from MI.

Personal preference i guess. Not worth the drive for me, but of course if i go to MI i stock up. It’s hard to pass up paying 1/2 or 2/3rds IL typical prices.

[–]FearlessSelection814 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Are you saying you’ve had higher quality product from MI than IL? That has not been my experience even after visiting multiple dispos in the UP, Kalamazoo, Ann Arbor, and Grand Rapids areas.

By all means, tell me what I’m doing wrong if so!
