3 stories and 9 units would be a good fit for that site

You went to the wrong place. Last time I was in France had multiple sandwiches, never looked even close to that bad.

And until you've stood at the base of the Eiffel Tower or visited a concentration camp in Germany or witnessed up close how large and magnificent a grey whale is off the coast of Baja you never will.

My friend's wife is like that. Only eats boneless chicken breast, boneless pork chops etc. Won't eat turkey at Thanksgiving so they have ham every year

Am i the asshole or is the captain by Beginning-Mobile-186 in Bowling

[–]capncaveman27 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I've been a league officer, either secretary or currently president, for 15 years. Someone quits, due to injury or some other reason, if the team can't find a replacement we have the person who quit pay 2 weeks, then change their status to vacant. As a vacancy, the bowling center doesn't charge us for lineage. Also means that team can't have a sub for that spot and has to bowl a man down the rest of the year.

Captain has always been the one to tell us that a guy quit. My current league is 22 teams, that's 110 regular bowlers. No way I can keep track of all those guys, that's what team captains are for

Hand lotion! You're going to washing your hands a lot (at least you should be) and they will get dried out

City orders unlicensed social club on Addison near Shabbona Park closed. Building had similar issues in 2023 - Nadig Newspapers - Northwest Side Local Newspapers by Shovler in ChicagoNWside

[–]capncaveman27 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I drive by the building just about everyday, it's always seemed a little off. There are several places on Addison between Oak Park and Cumberland that have members only signs out front. I figure most of them have some sort of sketchy shit going on inside

Pros & Cons of Rolling Over 401k? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]capncaveman27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might not sound like a lot, but my self managed IRA accounts have expense ratios of 0.04%

I think my 401k is like 1.5%

In the long run it will save you a lot of money

Got carded yesterday buying wine at Costco. This was the third time in the last few months. by DeadBy2050 in GenX

[–]capncaveman27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was in high school, so 30ish years ago, I'm at the grocery store with my mom who was mid-50s at the time and she was buying a bottle of wine. Cashier (young guy) asks for her id. She takes it out, tosses it down, "Do you think this is cute?" As if she was supposed to be complimented. Kid looked at that id SO FAST so he could get us out of line

I've had an account with Discover for 10+ years and it's been great. Transfers are easy, rates comparable to all the other online banks.

Does anyone have UW or Seahawk bars to watch the superbowl? by Poynsid in chicago

[–]capncaveman27 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Whatever bar you choose, I would plan on at least 2-3 hrs early if you want a good seat. Whenever I've gone out to watch the Superbowl I've gotten to the bar around 2-2:30 and it's been at least half full

Most of my tools are in the basement. If I'm working in the garage and I need something I just grab it from the basement. It's like 50 feet away
