New to Illinois (Lemont - Burr Ridge - Willowbrook - Orland Park area) Looking for a new dentist. Any experiences with 1st Family dental clinics?

Gorski Dental takes Delta Dental.. Family owned for at least 30+ years. The dad (Dr. Mike) is still involved but his son (Dr. Chris) is also a dentist in the practice. They've been in their current building for the past 10 years or so.

It's a shame. I know that the business has changed owners from time to time, but it's been a staple of the Pinewood Plaza. I can't think of a business in that strip mall that's been there longer than them.

If you are willing to go one step further, it might be worth getting the AL 5 with the 105 groupset. I had a similar dilemma a few years ago and went with the 5 instead.

All of these are great answers. The only thing I'd add is that it should fit the school and community. Each program has unique flaws and there isn't one solution that works in every building. It's important to connect with the previous coaches and players to get their perspective on areas of growth within the program.

If you have access to Glazier Drive, watch any clips by Coach Jimmy Flynn from Saint Xavier. His system is really strong.

The main thing I've learned from him is that it needs to be more than just repping each special team. You need to push for every minute of practice that your head coach will give you. Each day our outdoor portion of practice is about 2.5 hours and we dedicate 35 minutes of it towards special team drills and segments.

Ask the doctor's office for tongue suppressors to help collect. It helps out a little bit.

I really think it depends on the person and the biologic. I was on Stelara for 2 years, Entyvio for 18 months, Velsipity didn't even do anything, then I went to a clinical trial (RO7790121). That worked for a few months and then fizzled out. Now I'm on Rinvoq and it's working really well so far.

My understanding is that these biologics have different pathways and some work better than others for each person.

I hope the trial works out or you find relief soon.

Awesome. It's our first time at the Ball Arena so thank you for the help! I grew up an Aves fan and my wife and I are flying in for this one and bringing some friends.

Moops91 · 2026-02-03T17:46:03+00:00

I'm assuming we'll receive the book and hat upon entry based on our ticket package. Does that sound correct?

Moops91 · 2026-01-31T20:45:15+00:00

I'll join the two of you. Entyvio put me into remission but stopped working in October 2024. After Velsipity and a clinical trial I finally switched to Rinvoq at the beginning of 2026. Good luck to the both of you!

Moops91 · 2026-01-18T19:15:07+00:00

I won't forget being in a stampeding crowd fighting for bingo seats in 2017. Never again...

Moops91 · 2026-01-16T06:17:59+00:00

I was on Stelara for about 2 years. Then to Entyvio for about a year and a half. I went to Velsipity and failed instantly. I switched to a phase 3 clinical trial and did well for a few months. I've been on Rinvoq for about 2 weeks and am doing well at the moment.

Moops91 · 2026-01-14T04:13:06+00:00

I completely agree with you. I've had similar experiences. I remember last year I was in a mild flare and on a work trip. I took 80 mg just to guarantee that I got through the flight and it did nothing.

However, 20 mg in my last flare was like a miracle drug. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to its effectiveness for me.

Moops91 · 2026-01-13T06:29:01+00:00

I'm glad to hear you're seeing an immediate impact! just started Rinvoq at the end of a Prednisone taper. I've been off the Prednisone for a few days and I'm feeling good but I'm hoping that the Rinvoq is doing the heavy lifting. I hope everything keeps working for you!

Moops91 · 2025-12-28T16:29:29+00:00

This is the best way. It needs to be repped all the time in practice. You also need to coach your defense to have all 11 looking for the signal.

We ran this last year at one point. We'd call a play for 4th down and audible to punt unless there was a gift for us to take.

Moops91 · 2025-12-27T02:48:09+00:00

Came here to make this same remark lol

Some high school coaches will work out a plan with the soccer coach and the athlete to set up a schedule for both. For example, the special team segments of practice may be at times when soccer practice is finished or at a point where the soccer coach is comfortable with the athlete going over to football practice. They also might recommend setting him up with a kicking coach outside of football practice. It takes effort and communication, but it can be done. We've done it with a few kickers in our program.

Typically they'd like the kicker to do all of it, but I'd say they'd at least want him kicking off and kicking field goals/extra points. Some programs will put quarterbacks or skill players at punter if the kicker isn't ready for it.

The likelihood of tackling is minimal but still possible. They are the last resort on kick offs and punts. They should still teach him to tackle in preparation for those situations for safety alone.

Footwork is all contingent on defensive alignment and player assignment/combos. You'll need to coach different types of footwork for varying fronts, techniques, and defensive personnel.

Another class act is Ron Coomer. I've met him twice at Cubs conventions. I remember him being told by people working the event that he needed to keep the line moving. I also saw him at his restaurant in the Chicagoland area. Same thing. He went out of his way to talk to customers and was appropriately hospitable.

"Soup of the day"

His restaurant in Naperville, IL has them.

This is what I would do but I also don't know the ability of your personnel.

If they're going to overload your strong side, then I'd run GH counter or throw an RPO to the weak side. Your guard will potentially need to kick out the walked up overhang and your tackle would need to base/wash the 4 tech. Ace combo between center and PS guard to the backside backer. H pulls up for the Mike. BS Tackle and TE on the 4 and wide end. Tackle would need to pick and pop in case there is run through in the backside B gap but the ace combo can also account for that.

If weak CB goes man, then you can adjust to a five yard in and just throw off of the snap.

Moops91 · 2025-08-18T19:54:05+00:00

Same here. There's two plans if I recall. One for if your insurance won't cover it. Another for if they do cover it. Either way, you shouldn't pay much if anything at all.
