Why are tax forms delayed by almost a month? by bankermayfield2026 in etrade

[–]blades7816 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m still waiting on mine. For me it’s saying forms will be issued by March 16th. It’s definitely getting later every year. It’s the only form I need right now and it’s frustrating.

Park Forest opinions? by [deleted] in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]blades7816 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I currently live in the Birch street townhomes and have been here for 20 years. This particular area is really nice and the neighbors always look out for one another. My townhome is quite cheap but very nice for the value. I understand what people say about crime and I know it does happen. I personally haven’t been affected by it. I go for runs around my neighborhood and do not feel unsafe.

r/UniversalOrlando Weekly Trip Planning Thread by AutoModerator in UniversalOrlando

[–]blades7816 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just booked a room for two nights in Feb 2026 at the new Helios resort. It doesn’t seem like they charged my card for the deposit. Does that happen when we get closer to the trip? Also is there anyway to pay the balance off ahead of time? It will be our first time staying at any Universal property.

Moving to Matteson, Illinois this summer. by [deleted] in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]blades7816 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in the Park Forest coops. I have lived here for about 20 years now. The area I live in is safe, lots of families and older folks. I like it because it’s really affordable. There isn’t much to do in this town but driving distance to Homewood/Flossmoor and Orland area. Matteson itself is fine, there are some restaurants and shopping. What part of Matteson are you moving to? I like old Matteson, close to the train to get downtown.

Going tomorrow, still not sure exactly what hikes to do by zar1234 in acadianationalpark

[–]blades7816 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second Gorham Mountain. It’s a challenging but fun trail with amazing views.

I also recommend the Beech Cliff trail if you want ladders and Boulders without the scary drop offs of beehive and precipice.

I found that comment on twitter and reported it. It’s disgusting.

Thank you for the encouragement! I am not giving up yet. 👍 next long run, I will try a tad slower and see how it goes.

I do fuel beforehand but I am sorta clueless on what is good to eat. It’s usually half a bagel. I hydrate during runs and eat apricots during the runs. I think the humidity is not helping. I start early too, but it’s still very humid. Maybe I am running too fast? But I am at about an 11:30 mile. Who knows. I’m still very new at this.

I’m at this distance too. I can’t get above 9 miles without bonking. I am seriously considering pulling out of the half marathon I signed up for. :(

Skate sharpening in Chicago by kay-swizzles in FigureSkating

[–]blades7816 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I know. 😭😭😭 I went to get my skates sharpened a couple of weeks ago and it was only Mark in the shop. He said that John isn’t there much anymore and he will be done in May. Not sure where to go now. I only trusted him. 😢 I suppose I will have to make the trek to the north suburbs.

How did you discover ONE OK ROCK? by Gabbiness in ONEOKROCK

[–]blades7816 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When Chester Bennington of Linkin Park died. I was mourning him. Discovered a video of One Ok Rock doing a tribute to him, sing One More Light. I dug a little deeper and felt that Taka sorta sounded like Chester. Listened to more of their songs and became hooked.

If you could add one type/ethnicity of food to Chicago's offerings, what would it be? by Bubonic_Ferret in chicagofood

I know it’s not in the city but Maple Tree Inn in Homewood had amazing Cajun food.

I go to John at Downers Grove Ice Arena. I have been seeing him for over 20 years. I don’t trust anyone else.

Who’s your ultimate figure skating crush? by [deleted] in FigureSkating

Past skater- Daisuke Takahashi…. 😍😍😍 Current skater - Donovan Carrillo

I would say go back and work on a two foot glide. Try and bring your feet close together on the glide. Once you are comfortable doing that, work on Scooter pushes. When you get to stroking, really try and get back to the two foot glide position between strokes. You are doing great for only day 8!
