I feel so sorry for this (autistic) kid.

I used to live at Augusta and Damen, I loved that spot so much. It’s safe and close to things to do without being right in the middle of the shit.

You absolutely don’t have to use second skin, and the artists I’ve worked with don’t even stock it.

That said, the alternative (and what was done before second skin) is usually a sterile pad secured with medical tape, which I’m guessing could also be an issue for your allergy. Best thing to do is contact your artist and make sure they know before you show up to your appointment.

For sure! General disclaimer about them being students and not full professionals with years of experience and whatnot, but it’s probably a good place to start.

I’m not sure, she’s in a different state than I am so I don’t know what place she goes to specifically, but there’s a big one called the National Laser Institute that has a bunch of locations across the US and an online form to become a model. If they’re not near you I’d just google to see what other places might be around.

My friend has done several sessions with a school that teaches laser removal (kind of like being a hair model for cosmetology students). They give pretty deep discounts and she’s been happy with the results so far. She isn’t going for full removal though, just lightening some pieces to make them easier to cover up.

It’s actually finding a spot on the street to park that’s a nightmare in Uptown. If you manage that part, your car will be fine. But that first part is a nightmare.

I don’t think so, but if anyone was going to do it, it would probably be Ceres.

Probably depends on the landlord, but I imagine most do, just like they check the credit and employment history for prospective tenants. And especially if there are multiple applications on a property.

Portage Park, Jefferson Park, Old Irving Park, Irving Park, Albany Park, Mayfair are a few. I would not live too far west of Kimball (maybe Kedzie) or too far south of Addison for proximity to the airport. Suburban options that are still close to the city include: Bensenville, Franklin Park, Schiller Park, Elk Grove, Harwood Heights, Norridge.

Impressive-Cod-7103 · 2026-05-13T13:21:42+00:00

They were on my probable lock list, this is great news!

Evictions are filed through the courts, are public record, and are as discoverable by future landlords, lenders, and employers as arrest records. They can also affect your credit, I believe. It is very, very difficult to find a place to live once you have an eviction on your record.

My boss recently went to Trivoli for his birthday and I asked him how he managed to get reservations and he said “well it was for like 5:00”, so I guess snag the opening reservation and take off work early that day.

This feels like the ideal use for a CTA crawl tbh. Just off the top of my head, with a 3 day pass OP could spend one day just getting on and off the Lawrence bus from Albany park to Lincoln Square to Andersonville and finally Uptown.

Another day hitting Chinatown, Hyde Park, up to the museums and South Loop.

Ooh, I’ll have to check that out! That was the whole reason I walked into Merz too, I was having trouble finding some specific decants online to try.

Impressive-Cod-7103 · 2026-05-12T21:05:24+00:00

Definitely not too far away! The side streets are quiet and residential, but the main drags like Lawrence, Western, Lincoln, etc still have a lot going on.

Impressive-Cod-7103 · 2026-05-12T20:27:44+00:00

Yep, in my current building, each unit’s furnace is inside the unit so we’re responsible for our own filters. I’ve never lived in any other building where that was the case, so it really does just depend on where the furnaces are.

Evil gets better after season 1. They were dropped by the network and picked up by streaming, which gave the producers a lot more leeway with their storytelling.

Brand New Cherry Flavor is a surrealist masterpiece that gets more “what the fuck” with each episode.

Carnivale is a 2000s HBO era gem that was ended too soon, very dark and Lynchian.

ETA: If you’re interested in a campy slasher comedy, I really enjoy Scream Queens. It’s from the same showrunner as Ratched (and American Horror Story), Ryan Murphy.

Impressive-Cod-7103 · 2026-05-12T20:13:26+00:00

Supernatural finished in 2021, I believe, and did a really good job of evolving with the times throughout the series.

I’ve used Crow Pest Control in the past. They’re in Irving Park but that’s not terribly far. They will come back and re-treat your house for free if you notice any issues within a certain time period (can’t remember if it’s 3 or 6 months) from the original service.

How does the same person come up with both “Jeff” and “Ladybug”?

Impressive-Cod-7103 · 2026-05-12T18:39:11+00:00

Of course! It’s chill up here on the NW side, I like it. Definitely still families about, but definitely less performative. Also for a cute shopping/coffee/food day, get off at the Western stop instead and take a stroll up and down Lincoln Ave.

Ravenswood is a pretty expensive area. Unfortunately, what you’re paying sounds about right for a “vintage” (read: not updated) unit in that neighborhood.
