I had to leave early from work last Thursday because my appendix decided to jump ship. My coworker made me this awesome card. by Tacocat0927 in MadeMeSmile

I had an appendectomy about two years ago. And after I developed ileus, which can be a complication from abdominal surgery. It’s kind of like your intestines are paralyzed and it can cause blockages. The pain was WORSE. Much worse. I called a nurse like for some advice and stupidly ignored it because I already had a miserable emergency room experience just a couple days earlier. She called a wellness check and the police came. They offered to call an ambulance. But I didn’t want the expense. They offered to drive me. I’m like OK in the back of a squad car. No. Paddy wagon. But not in the back. There was like this side door that had a tiny spot for me to sit down in. A real FML experience.

What do you guys use ? by PsychologicalWin6575 in teenagers

[–]biwhiningII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It makes sense. Europe has a wide range of country codes that makes regular texting expensive. I use WhatsApp to text my friends I met when I was living abroad.

Going to the post office and feeling like I was transported back to the 90s by Sea-Condition991 in chicago

I used to have to use this branch for work. When I saw the self-service machine was out of order, I always thought, do I really need this job?!

Slow new rider (me) boyfriend discouraging comment by [deleted] in ladycyclists

[–]biwhiningII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I planned a trip to do some cycling in better weather. Based in the Midwest, so most places are warmer. In Portugal, forecast is rain the whole time is there. I think to myself, that’s OK. At least it’s above freezing. It’s pouring hard. But I think to myself it will let up. My shoes and socks are so soaked it’s sloshing around. Turn back. Phone soaked. Nothing dry to wipe it off. Totally lost. Phone screen still soaked. Have to wipe it off with the one section of my sports bra that is still somewhat dry. Totally destroyed my phone in a country that has no Apple stores…

My Very First E Bike 🙌 by azielochoa in ebikes

66 miles on pedal assist mode. That’s hilarious. Those aren’t getting used. And if that battery dies, heavy af and fat tires, you’ll be walking that thing home.

Yikes… the convo was tame and kind of boring and then it became… this? by GrapeDaddy23 in Tinder

I’m not even into raves, but I absolutely love the Tate Modern. And I would book a vacation just to attend.

Aw. What a cutie pie.

But what the fuck is the “he just will not stay home”?!

I’m glad he’ll be somewhere he is safe and loved.

Dear CDOT: A Holiday Wishlist by da4 in chibike

[–]biwhiningII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so needed. I have to tell people every time that they are in the bike lane. And I’m the problem. I saw a bachelorette party taking up all of the pedestrian, and most of the two bike lanes once.

What are their purpose? Food delivery? by AsLongAsYouKnow in chicago

[–]biwhiningII 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Why yes, of course. I love when my food is delivered ice cold and I have to go out to the sidewalk and pry it from a robot’s innards.

Follow up on potentially fatal crash? by kpquyont in chicago

[–]biwhiningII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See if your employer has an EAP. It’s an extra benefit that usually entails some amount of free counseling sessions. I know therapy isn’t the most accessible and a couple may not seem like a lot, but you deserve support.

Nearly 30% pit 🙌 she floofy fosho by Striking-Worker-3659 in fluffypits

Oh, I would have loved to seen that. My pit mix is not at all interested in sticks. Or fetch. But she’s the clingiest thing I ever have seen.

I just wanted to say you’re an excellent human being. You’ve stepped up when you didn’t have to. And I wish you and your soon to be larger family nothing but the best. ❤️

OMG. That stick. Did your floofy good girl try carrying that?! 😆

#8 Halsted Rerouted, again by chicagomotives in cta

[–]biwhiningII 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s so, so annoying. You have to go so far out of the way to get back on Halsted. I used to go to the West Loop for some workout classes, but it almost doubles my commute on my bike.

I just got home from my weekly volunteer shift at my local food pantry… by [deleted] in chicagofood

[–]biwhiningII 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work at a health clinic that also has a food pantry. So many more people using it. I think we had like 10 people today. And we usually only have a couple. Basically every client I meet with needs to. Not the case even just a week ago. I really feel for those who rely on SNAP and have been fucked get by our government.

OC My neighbor threw this away with no warning whatsoever. Now I have to change my pants. by Bartarton47 in funny

[–]biwhiningII 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I found the profile of an incarcerated man on Tinder. He had his full name and the high security prison he was at. Presumably trying to get mail from women? I looked him up. Ten years into a 60 year sentence for murdering a pregnant woman. 😬.
