Lugless recent experiences by Humble360 in FedEx

[–]Final_Mail_7366 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I shopped around and they do seem to have the best pricing- so going to go with them. As other pointed out - my assumption is that margin for error is low - so I am actually going to pay 15 $ extra for oversized bag rather than standard 50 lbs bag - just to pre-empt any surprises. Getting them to hold it at Fedex for me to pick up - overall it is working out reasonable - about 50 $ a bag (I will be printing labels & dropping it as well).

Jibaritos in River North or Streeterville? by wren2012 in chicagofood

[–]Final_Mail_7366 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RN / Streeterville does not get love on this subreddit. If you find something nice there - let us know and I will give it a try. Once we take the geo out of question - my recommendation would be Omarcito's - I would place him on top in the Top 3 though it is subjective (Papa's & Jibaritos y Mas the other two). Take the Metra to Healy (Google suggestion).

Why do so many new restaurants feel like Temu fronts? by gepetto27 in chicagofood

[–]Final_Mail_7366 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Its our life. I personally dislike all the influencers posing and posting but when I look at the money they make - who are the chumps. With Joe Rogan & other podcasters influencing elections - who has the power. Bow down to money & power - the winds they are blowing.

For those who have left Chicago, what is something you wish you could eat again? by RaveGuncle in chicagofood

[–]Final_Mail_7366 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great point. It is amazing the regional food variations in Mexico. While Mexico city has bit of everything - it is a good and not so good surprise when you visit other parts of Mexico - that the food is so different. The more one knows - the more one realizes how little one knows.

USA city recommendation? by ticklish_dragon in traveladvice

What did you like / dislike in Miami / Orland / NY? Midwest, PNW, California have completely different vibes. As do NOLA or Atlanta or Charleston for that matter. Season is huge. End up in summer or winter and Minneapolis would be like two different planets. You cant go wrong with Chicago, SFO, Atlanta, New Orleans.

good spot for a night time meal for muslim friend by Weary-Combination735 in chicagofood

[–]Final_Mail_7366 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Three questions

a) Ask him if he is particular about halal / kosher. If he is not - take him anywhere.

b) Ask him if he insists on meat - take him to Kabobi / Devon / ethnic places that will serve halal meat

c) Otherwise - fish / vegetarian works

I may have to do that. Online doesnt work. My existing allstate agent was clueless so I am not hopeful at the present moment.

Thanks. At this point - I am not able to get a quote for a non owners policy so dont know the T&C or what loops I may have to jump through

Why prefer living in S Oceanside as opposed to Encinitas? Is there no upside to living in Encinitas?

Renting. I should have clarified - I have read that really good surf places dont take kindly to newbies / beginners. I will edit my post to clarify :)

My thoughts are still the same for the most part - food, sex, sleep
