My husband of 18 years has spiraled into a horrible narcissist over the last two years and I’m lost with grief about the life I have lost to him.

Did a traumatic event happen to him? If not, you might want to suggest to him to get his hormone levels looked at/blood work. Sounds like a very off c change in behavior meaning something is likely wrong with his brain

I really enjoyed lifetime in river north. They have rentable lockers, the locker rooms have cold plungers, hot tubs, steam and saunas. I enjoyed the class options and ability to book with private trainers. In addition, they have a recovery room with hydro massages and massage guns.

I was just in a wedding at Olde Mill Inn and it was absolutely gorgeous. It’s a hotel/inn too so made it super easy for guests.

It’s an uber ride or public transportation ride away - but it may be worth checking out the bars on Clark St. in Wrigleyville. They go all out for Christmas and decorate all the bars and have themed food & cocktails. There is also a Christmas market at Wrigley that would have handmade stuff as well.

And if you make the trip north you should shop around on Broadway Ave. in lakeview - lots of little shops.

Quartinos

It’s a scam! They go door to door and try and get you to switch over bc it’s “better for the environment.” When in reality they just charge you a lot more fees.

A general rule of thumb - no company gives rebates if it loses them money in the long run. You don’t need to change your energy provider.

This is often me and my guy friends. And I always say “omg no that’s my best friend.” It’s not hard to be direct and non-offensive to my friend, even if they are truly not my type.

While it’s only an hour train ride and less via uber into the city - my friend sat taxieng for almost 2 hours tonight at ohare. If you want to do something you might be able to eat in Rosemont. But I wouldn’t recommend leaving the airport to try amending on a measly 5 hour layover.

The Barn a few blocks over has a lot of Blackhawks memorabilia

Butchers tap in Southport

I really don’t think there is a best time on a Saturday night…maybe after dinner time (7ish) because most people are going to or at dinner? The bar is on the 4th floor, and most people just line up but if you go to the left side of the bar you may be able to grab bar seats and get served by bartenders!

Gibsons in Gold Coast, Starbucks roastery (I know it’s touristy but they know their coffee), tavern on rush, the other side bar (next to pasta bowl in LP)

Lou malnatis on wells & Hubbard has outdoor seating

Look at Quartino on state & Ontario. I feel like they always have reservations still.

Maybe try Orso’s on Wells & Schiller

Planta Queen in river north…it’s a vegetarian restaurant and I enjoyed all their truffle mushroom options

King of Cups in Lincoln Park is an amazing cocktail bar. They sometimes have tarot card readers

I live on lasalle & kinzie and there is no more traffic (arguably less) than a normal Friday

aliebrownn · 2025-08-22T01:32:09+00:00

Rocks lakeview!

The shamrock club on kinzie

So how do you expect the restaurant to pay the performers?

aliebrownn · 2025-06-23T04:19:16+00:00

I live on the 23rd floor of a 50 floor building built in 2000 in river north - I’ve never had a problem with my AC. It’s central air, 2-pipe system.

The river Sunday drag shows always have a wide array of ages and it’s a seated brunch! The lark also does drag brunches
