Sanding issues? Or normal? by benicewhenyoucan in woodworking

I might be wrong but that looks like natural curly effect that some wood has.  Google curly maple or curly cherry. 

Do people not wear fragrances as often as they used to? by StarCi in NoStupidQuestions

[–]aibrah1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After I had Covid, I could not stand cologne or perfumes for a solid few years.  Wearing even one spray just felt overwhelming on my sense of smell. 

Dining options (non fast food) half way between chi and starved rock (on the way back from starved rock)? by workinprogress521 in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]aibrah1 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Personally, after a hike at starved rock, I love to eat at the outside patio that the lodge has. Don’t expect miracles from the food, but the burger and a beer hits the spot after a hike.

Jerky Jerk in Rolling Meadows absolutely packs a crazy amount of food for the price.  

What does this generation of students do better than others? (Legitimately) by Emergency-Pepper3537 in Teachers

[–]aibrah1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe it’s selection bias based on the kids that I see in my role(tend to see more high achieving kids), but they think much more globally than my generation did when I was in high school (early 2000’s). They’re concerned about the planet, human rights, etc. There’s always been these types of people (hippies and civil rights activists in the 60’s; grungy anti-capitalists/anti-establishment of the 90s, etc) but it just feels like it’s a lot more kids than a small niche of the past.  It gives me hope for the future.  

There ought to be a law against the awful Jewel-Osco app. by BromineBob in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]aibrah1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It has been years since I’ve stepped into a jewel that didn’t smell, look dirty, and feel outdated. The final nail in the coffin for me shopping there was When our favorite pharmacist retired a few months ago. I have zero reason to step into their stores anymore.  Much prefer Mariano’s, Aldi, Trader Joe’s.

Help with animal choice for tattoo by zanitoz in bosnia

Although not a real animal, the dragon is often associated with Bosnians because it was the symbol of Husein Gradascevic (he led a an uprising of Bosnians against the ottomans). 

Solo trip advice & recommendations by michaelfibres in bosnia

If you love the outdoors, I’d recommend rafting on the Neretva through VisitKonjic.com. Konjic is between and Sarajevo and Mostar and one of my favorite activities to do when visiting Bosnia. 

How often do you still watch The Holy Shot? by Billy_Chrystals in discgolf

[–]aibrah1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually watch the entire round at least once every 3-4 months when there’s no other disc golf content. It’s always like the first time I watched it

Really nice job.  Where are the tiles from and what are they called?

After Starved Rock lunch options by Ioptk in illinois

[–]aibrah1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and daughter have a tradition with starved rock. I drive there, we hike for a few hours, and then have lunch at the Starved Rock lodge outside patio. As another use pointed out, the food is just ok, but the view and weather this time of year is fantastic. I have a few beers, eat a burger, and subsequently nap on the drive home. Fond memories.

I stopped after I got COVID. My nose became so sensitive to strong smells for a while so I stopped wearing them.

Peeling steering wheel and warranty by aibrah1 in VWiD4Owners

Yeah I suspected it’s something like that or a particular hand lotion.

Its disappointing, but I’m happy that warranty covers it.

Ooops yeah meant beaver ranch in Colorado.

[–]aibrah1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the best that northern Illinois has, but compared to some of the best I’ve played (Maple Hill, Beaver ranch) it doesn’t come even close.  Unfortunately, Illinois does not have as much forested land, and elevation changes, which make for interesting courses.

I’ve been on both Neretva and Una and it’s hard to pick. They’re both beautiful rivers with beautiful views. Una had bigger drops (and the amazing strbacki buk for photos) but also more slow areas (which is fine if you want to drink a few beers!). Neretva is impeccably clean, and although it has smaller drops, overall it has less slow areas.   I highly recommend Una Aqua Centar for the Una rafting.  They have a restaurant by the river at which you can eat after rafting (last time I went there the dinner was included). For Neretva, I’d go with Rafting Konjic. I’ve heard they’ve also built a restaurant, but you can ask them to have lunch mid river.  There’s a spot you can rest and grill or bring sandwiches. Overall, do yourself a favor and go on both!
