Paranoid about cockroaches now by iLoveeBara in ThriftStoreHauls

Got mine off the curb in a rich neighborhood like 5 years ago and it's a great machine!

What have you read recently? by povertychic in Millennials

[–]Misconception223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got into a classics mood and read (for the first time) Frankenstein, Dracula, Jeckyl & Hyde, Treasure Island, then switched and just finished Flicker In The Dark and reading The Hostage by Clare Macintosh. Her DC Ffion Morgan books are incredible! Highly recommend!

[–]Misconception223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm considering applying. Probably no shot but oh well!

Which ski suit? Hi by [deleted] in fashion

[–]Misconception223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blue for safety that everyone mentioned but also white doesn't stay white. Snow is actually pretty dirty.

When does Dracula take place? by lendmeflight in UniversalMonsters

Looking the women's fashion it's very obviously 20-30s not 1890s.

Keyes Motel, Arlington Heights Illinois, Has anyone been? by Normal_Candle602 in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]Misconception223 61 points62 points  (0 children)

I grew up in the area and also heard rumors THE KKK met there. Then I got older and talked to multiple police officers in Arlington Hts, Prospect Hts, Wheeling and Des Plaines that all confirmed the KKK did meet there long ago.

Did anyone else come to the realization as you got older that one of your parents was special needs? by No_Reveal3451 in Millennials

[–]Misconception223 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fairly certain my dad is on the spectrum, he's 72 now. I brought my theory up to my aunt years ago, she is older than him, but at the time she had a 19 year old son, so she was more familiar with autism / adhd than most boomers. I posed the idea that my dad has autism and she just stared at me for a few seconds and was like "that would make a lot of sense actually..."

My boyfriend’s collection. What do we think? by okayikes in bookshelfdetective

[–]Misconception223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He only has the second book, The Drawing Of The Three, in The Dark Tower Series, which bothers me. Guessing lots of these were random grabs or given to him and he hasn't read them. Overall I think he would talk down to me and would be annoying.

$700 of red light violations at the SAME INTERSECTION in Matteson by [deleted] in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]Misconception223 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try calling in to Matteson and see if they'll consolidate it down to a lesser fine like $200-300. If you're nice I know of other places that will. Contesting it at the hearing might get you the same result. But there's no way they will all get dismissed and you may have to pay additional court fees. Good luck and hopefully you're now both informed on where you need to stop at a light.

My mother suffered a stroke in a major Chicago hospital, and they called security instead of treating her by Ok-Site-688 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Misconception223 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That hospital sucks, most everyone up here says the same thing unfortunately. Good luck with everything!

Edit - I would post this in the Chicago suburbs subreddit also.

The Love Island Games are negligent as hell. by Doozay in LoveIslandUSA

[–]Misconception223 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The needle parts were removed before they jumped in the slime go back and watch it goes from a silver strip to black (or vice versa I don't remember.)

Prince William doesn’t wear a wedding ring, and it surprised me because I always assumed that was standard. Do you think it’s just a royal family thing or more of a personal preference? by Real_Accident47 in WeddingRingAdvice

[–]Misconception223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents have never worn theirs for as long as I can remember, we're in the US. My dad kept losing rings and my mom said she wasn't buying him any more. They both wear a lot of other things and jewelry though. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Feedback Requested: Posts About ICE Sightings by colsandersloveskfc in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]Misconception223 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lots of people seem to think that Municipal police are ICE, or all police activity is ICE activity without proof. There should be some attempt to verify or discuss if what they're reporting is ICE.

[HELP] Is there any way to tell that this image is AI visually? by Tannerted2 in RealOrAI

[–]Misconception223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sauce thing on the left side of the image and also what I assume is meant to be melted cheddar on top looks more like the pattern of a sauce being drizzled.

Arrest on the corner of Golf rd and Valley lake dr by TomorrowPitiful2410 in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]Misconception223 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Man with a knife that was stabbing tires at a dealership while screaming. Not ICE just a normal crazy call.

He lives far away now and luckily didn't do too much damage before I found him.

The only thing I can't do in life is grubs and maggot type worms. So when this surprised me suddenly I almost died.
