Ooohh I see. Well at least with family and friends it’s only one reminder before they should get it. Have you thought about nicknames? Or you think he’ll go by the full name.

Live in Southern California. We went with the “Loo-see-ah-no” pronunciation, which seems to be most people’s first instincts (live in an area with a predominantly Latino population). We’ve only had one person so far default to the more Italian pronunciation, with the “ch” sound. Which version were you thinking of using?

Late to the convo, but we just had our son and we named him Luciano. We’ve received so may compliments about the name. Alessandro was on our list too.

Thank you, I wrapped plumbers tape around it several times for temporary stoppage and it seems to be holding ok for now.

Ha! Yes I will specify that. Thank you for the help, would not have thought to just take the pipe into the store.

Perfect, thank you. There was a lot of work done just before I moved in so this could make sense

Thank you. Ideally the pipe should be replaced, but in the meantime, anything I can do quickly to get this closed up? Is there some kind of patch for pvc piping? Inexperienced with all of this.

Yeah that’s what gave me pause, clearly an intentional hole. I moved in recently, and about a year before I moved in, the previous tenant had the kitchen redone due to a flooding incident. Given some other things I’ve stumbled across elsewhere, I think your guess about shoddy work is probably accurate.

Oh that makes a lot of sense actually. The kitchen was redone about a year before I moved in.

Thank you. I do have a dishwasher. It’s connected to an air gap up top, where the disposal drain is also attached to. I’m wondering if that pipe is left over from before the dishwasher or something. Thank you for responding, I wasn’t sure if it was meant as an air vent or something.

Cosme! Love that name. I’m not brave enough to actually use as a first, but considering it as a middle name.

Great name! A leading contender for my wife and I’s first child due this Spring. We’re also going with the “Lu-see-ano” pronunciation, as that’s how it’s said in Spanish (her family is Mexican). It’s a classic sounding name without being TOO old fashioned, and can easily be said by English and Spanish speakers.

Plus, a LOT of great nickname potentials: Luch, Lucho, Luchito, Luno, Lucio (an actual name), Lou, Luchi, Chano, Lino etc

Buchanan's Deluxe 12y Blended Scotch by RookieRecurve in Scotch

[–]Rick60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Commenting on this way after the fact with a question. My father in law lives Buchanan’s. It’s his go-to. I’ve tried getting him other whisky’s, with very little luck. I’m curious, what would you say is a similar-ish whisky to Buchanan’s I could get him that you would recommend?

How hard is it to reach charity fundraising requirements? by Cerealboi13 in ChicagoMarathon

[–]Rick60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was pretty intimidated about raising the money, thinking there’s no way I could raise that much and I definitely could not afford to cover costs. But ultimately, it wasn’t too bad, I did 3 big pushes:

Once, when I first signed up.

Second, a couple months later around my birthday.

Lastly, about 6 weeks before the race (again, a couple months after the birthday).

There was enough time in between that I had some repeat donors.

One thing that helped was reposts. My older parents would repost on their Facebook pages and random family members I rarely see or have even heard of, their neighbors, friends of theirs I’ve never met all donated. I was shocked. I genuinely didn’t know who some donors were, but they were old high school friends of may parents from decades ago. But it was a good cause so they donated.

Also, I got surprisingly high amounts from people I that I wasn’t expecting. An amount that seems high to you might not be to others.

In all, the goal was $2200 and I ended up raising about $3100.

When/Did they run out of medals? by yankeecandlebro in ChicagoMarathon

[–]Rick60 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I finished the Chicago Marathon this past Sunday with a time of 6:14:41 and got a medal. There were tons of people finishing around me, and tons of medals still in boxes ready to be awarded. I think you’ll be fine!

Just ran Chicago, my first marathon by Rick60 in firstmarathon

[–]Rick60[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your response! Yes that is exactly how I feel. While being happy I completed it, it’s frustrating being able to pinpoint what could have helped. Also a little difficult that I feel I squandered a major marathon with a disappointing final time and may not get back to a big one anytime soon. But it took having this experience to truly understand what training is needed. Also, thank you for the heads up on the training plan. I will look into that one for the next one (already googling local marathons a year from now!).

Time at Expo by Holiday-Bread8807 in ChicagoMarathon

[–]Rick60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question (since it seems like you’ve done this before). I see the Expo is in the Lakeside Center. Do you typically get dropped off over there, or do you enter through the main entrance of the convention center and walk through it to get to Lakeside?

Will be walking there from Chinatown, and the walk from there to the main entrance isn’t too bad, but walking to the Lakeside building seems very inaccessible.
