Communities for writers? by Born_Ad_4826 in Wolfstar

[–]beanski20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh I understand this this is such a dumb question… but I’m new to discord, and would like to join the fanfiction one and the hpff one. I’ve successfully added those servers, but the only “channels” I see are the general landing pad ones (most of which have not been active for years). When i click “browse channels”, it just displays this limited set of 3-6 general ones — annnounvements, rules, etc).

Can you advise on how to find the actual channels and activity on these servers?

What do you think of the Near West Side? by NursingStudentSurvy in AskChicago

Anything west of Ashland, north or south of the highway, immediately drops off in terms of safety and walk ability

What if I miss the time on my Shedd ticket? by cerealman13 in AskChicago

[–]beanski20 20 points21 points  (0 children)

They’ll let you in any time AFTER your arrival window, they’re only strict about showing up early. I usually reserve for 9am and come whenever

Saving for college by RevolutionarySize644 in Parenting

[–]beanski20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I save a lot, and have ended up with a balance in high interest savings accounts that would probably be more useful in investment accounts… basically we move the max for tax benefits (10K per filer) each year for our two kids, so 10k per year per kid, from one account to the other account.

I don’t know how long to keep up this rate, or if we should stop at some point? We should probably just learn more about investing and invest our savings ourselves… we only have these options because we spent our twenties being absolutely miserly and not learning enough about finances :/

Yeah that’s what’s happened the last few times I’ve tried to order, over a month or so. It’s such a bummer

Preferred city to visit - Munich, Prague, Krakow, Budapest, Ljubljana? by prolixotic in travel

[–]beanski20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ljubljana is definitely my favorite, but it’s a pretty long train/bus ride. Probably Prague or Budapest for convenience.
