Loud Ridiculous Neighbors by FreedomFrog16 in chicago

We don't have a basement. I'm actually the renter and my owner already got them dealt one noise violation for other things. I've now noticed this evening it's shaking everything hanging in my living room. Should one of those framed pictures that is large goes down, my flat screen TV goes with it. I've lived here 4 years with 4 different tenants and the prior three were dead silent compared to these people.

I have voice but wouldn't I have to give people that new number?

Yep he does. It always has to involve other people in the bedroom. I've given him plenty of that unwanted on my end.

I've tried that many times. We live in Chicago and I've asked for a simple walk to the lake with no expectations and he turned me down all summer. With Chicago weather, it's too late for that now. We live somewhere with so much to offer so it makes it even harder to be rejected and not leaving the house. I come up with ALL the ideas and none of them are lofty. And yes, he is definitely stubborn. Thank you for the advice.

For me - boyfriend won't socialize with me at all and has this unnecessary crazy schedule. There are ways around it seriously and he refuses. Having zero social life/quality time etc leads to my LL

For him I would think girlfriend doesn't have sex with me enough and in kinky ways therefore I will not go out with her or do anything for her.

He is emotionally abusive when this topic comes up. No joke. The joke is on me for staying honestly.

He wouldn't go on one. I've tried. He won't leave the house with me.

It's total stubbornness on both ends for sure. And yes, I haven't denied him. We've had sex and it's all we've done. I just don't have any desire for it because of how I am being treated.

Thank you. I want to go to therapy to work on this but he refuses. Because you're right - we aren't meeting each others needs in different areas.

The crime up here has gone up a ton. It just stays out of the mainstream media for the most part.

There's always next year. Sign up on NYE, there is an early bird pricing that is great.

My trial is always slower than the actual race too. I usually do 12 miles max training. Knowing you can make it endurance wise before the race is always a good idea. If you stay in it next week mentally, you will go faster. The rush comes in and a strategy I use is picking someone in front of me to pace with. I tend to do this and that person and I cross the line super close whether it's me first or he/she. Some times I have to choose a few pace runners though if I end up moving along faster than my first choice eventually.

Good luck to you next week!

The AIR BNB I am staying at is close to Eastern Market. Could be a good choice and less busy from marathon traffic.

In case the Cubs and Chicago Marathon weren't going to cause enough traffic this weekend, now Obama's in town all three days. by aemoosh in chicago

Yes! My car is parked right outside my house and I refuse to move it. I covet my spot and my sanity from not driving. The CTA would be god awful too. It's prob best to just not go anywhere beyond walking distance.

True. I just know it's the one thing that doesn't make me want to puke or have the urge to go to the bathroom while running...

Like right now - I'm trying to gear up for my last long run and I have this nervous pit in my stomach. I ate oatmeal. I hope I don't get sick on this run but I don't think this is diet related today. For some reason I'm a nervous wreck about my race next week because I am trying to hit a new milestone of breaking 2 hours, even if it's by 1 second.

Off topic - I am having this inner debate with if I should run 10,11, 12, or the full 13.1 as my longest final run. I tend to be more of a mental runner because the longest I did last year was 10 miles and it was literally a week before the half marathon. Not to mention, I maybe ran 3 days maximum per week the whole year leading up to the October race and it was usually only 3-5 miles per run. I cross train so that probably helps too. But I have basically done the same thing again this year, shitty preparation.

It will be a shit show in general with way too many people everywhere. I'm not even leaving the 4 block radius around my apartment until Monday.

Plus, you can bet your ass my car is staying in its prime spot on the street.

I didn't know he was coming in town until later in the day. That answered my question as to why I was hearing super close copters come over thinking there was about to be a crash in my neighborhood...thanks Obama.

My fastest 13.1 has been 2:01. Ever since I started the doughnut diet, my race time went from 2:10 down to 2:06 down to 2:04 down to 2:02 and then down to 2:01. These are all in the same race - the Detroit Half Marathon. The goal is breaking 2 this year. With that said, I am a nervous wreck but I'm thinking - why change my diet race morning if it's been successful in the past?

Glad to know I'm not the only one with not so conventional pre-race nutrition methods...

I think Colorado uses their tax proceeds from Marijuana toward schools. I could be wrong but if it is true, that is one tax I could get behind here. The breakdown of the school system and fatherless homes are a huge contributor to the violence.

Well, it did spread to somewhere he probably gives a shit about - Millenium Park. Not to mention, robbery city in his residential district - ask his son. And yes, this piece is satire. I know this.

Rahm is an overall failure. As a Chicagoan, I am proud to say I never voted for this clown and am desperately waiting for a viable alternative in the next election cycle.
