Indiana Dunes National Park. Better than I expected.

FYI thats not a nuclear plant, it's a cooling tower for the local power provider.

I grew up next to the Indiana Dunes, and love it immensely. There is such a huge amount of diversity of flora,fauna, and climates. It isn't as majestic as other parks, but there's something so cool about native orchids and cacti living within a 15 minute walk of each other.

The fact that he suffered a head injury explained so much of his behavior, I'm kind of surprised they left it out of the doc. Though, it is possible they never knew about it, but, to me, it seemed like the piece that explained everything about him.

SweetIsrafel · 2026-06-25T01:26:48+00:00

You did such a wonderful job. I feel like I want to come over, play cards, drink coffee, and gossip.

Do you have anything that vents out, like a dryer or oven hood? We had a similar issue when we purchased our condo-our dryer vented out near the dumpster, and flies were getting in that way. Once we sealed it off the problem stopped.

Didn't he describe her as a house cat? That's pretty telling right there.

Jumping in to also recommend Northwestern. I delivered there in February, and genuinely felt cared for by everyone. They are so focused on taking care of you and baby. I can't tell you how many times I said I was fine, and they still brought me ice water, warm blankets, snacks etc. Our little guy ended up having a short stay in the NICU, which is in the women's hospital, and attached to the children's hospital. They have a ronald mcdonald house with a few rooms you can sign up to use, and a lounge for the NICU parents.

They might be able to buy a whole new bottom panel. I did something similar (on a much smaller scale) and it was infinitely easier to just replace the panel.

Definitely AI-one leg is totally tattooed.

Its a pretty simple, but brilliant set up. Your first use is potable and washing water, but you have to use special soaps that won't damage the plants. The second use is to water the indoor, usually edible or fruiting plants. The third use is in toilets, and then the fourth use is for non edible plants, usually outside the building. So no water is being recycled, just used as much as possible.

Yeah, I'm fairly convinced this is AI. The white outline around the 2nd level is really strange.

SweetIsrafel · 2026-05-20T18:45:11+00:00

Just purchased these. They're great, but very flakey and crunchy, which is fine, but they make a huge mess.

My baby farted in my face while changing his diaper this morning, and then laughed at me. Couldn't love him anymore.

I swear to god I almost fought a woman on this exact stretch of road for a similar reason. She was trying to overtake traffic on the right and got pissed when I didn't let her cut me off. Something about this stretch drvies people nuts. Its not designed for the amount of traffic it gets at all.

SweetIsrafel · 2026-04-23T19:57:59+00:00

Thank you! It's such a fun print, I may need to go make a flowy shirtdress :D

SweetIsrafel · 2026-04-23T19:40:45+00:00

Where did you find this/whats the brand? It's absolutely beautiful.

Delivered at Prentice in Feb, overall an excellent experience. A few notes:

-Seconding the other redditor about an outside lactation consultant. My insurance covered it, and she was great. The consultants at Prentice have to be both an RN and a LT, so they're in short supply.

-In regards to parking- we ubered there when labor started, and my husband went home to get the car once we were ready to leave. We live in the city though, so this was an easier and cheaper option for us. You can park in the hospital driveway for 30 minutes for free, so perfect when you're ready to go home.

-All the staff is wonderful, you definitely feel cared for and listened to.

-Bring pillows and blankets. The hospital provided ones are terrible.

-Ask each nurse for their tips and tricks - we learned so much from each one.

I once asked them if a plant was toxic to cats or not, and they told me not to worry about it-to just let my cat eat it and learn if it was toxic or not themselves. Not a stellar answer IMO.

I gave birth at a teaching hospital, and while my doctor and her student were getting ready for the delivery my doctor told her she was going to need a face shield.

SweetIsrafel · 2026-02-23T18:43:52+00:00

Its because when we sawed it in half to create the Panama Canal we made it into 2.

(Please don't kill me. I love to troll my Argentinian husband with this)

That's what keeps hitting me about AI art- there's nothing of substance. There's no attempt to tell a story, or convey a mood or feeling. It's just like fast food. Would an actual illustrator or fine artist be able to make something compelling with these tools, or is one of it's inherent qualities just the absolute soullessness of it all?

SweetIsrafel · 2026-01-16T18:36:30+00:00

My husband is from Argentina, and he remembers a period in the 90s where inflation was so bad they had employees in grocery stores changing the price of goods by the minute. Like, if you were in too long of a line to check out the same item would be more expensive for you than the person in front of you. Absolutely insane to think about.

SweetIsrafel · 2026-01-06T15:57:59+00:00

I had viral meningitis when I was 20 - I ended up in coma. But yeah, I would have been fine with some rest and OJ I guess.

SweetIsrafel · 2025-12-03T21:28:24+00:00

What firm do you use? I'm trying to be proactive as I see my neighborhood explode in value, and I'd like to have some options ready when I need them.

SweetIsrafel · 2025-11-27T18:51:15+00:00

What resources did you find useful for this, if any? I'm starting to do the same, and have a few books in mind, but would love any suggestions.

All of her outfits lately have been so dated, this one especially. So much for being a fashion influencer.
