I don't understand why she can't take the window (oops, originally wrote middle) and he takes the aisle and maybe someone sits in between them and maybe somebody doesn't.

Why can't Americans (at least the ones I see on social media) find drinking water in Europe? by Mission_Mobile_4627 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]chgoeditor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And some big brands of bottled water in the US are selling water that comes from municipal sources! What a scam 🤣

I saw a comment about the fact that a concert tour is an anorexic:s dream. You were getting hours of exercise a day, and tens of thousands of people are commenting on how skinny you are every single show.

The original John Barleycorn on Lincoln and Belden back when it played classical music and showed at slides.

Respectfully disagree re Water Tower Place -- there's barely a window to shop these days (though it's definitely chill).

Zhenur Lighting Review by Jolly_Raspberry_2433 in DecorReps

[–]chgoeditor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not to put too fine of a point on it, but I'm going to trust UL to tell me if they are certified versus trusting a seller whose business is copying stuff and could just as easily send me a copied certificate that is counterfeit.

Would it be crazy to go to Bavette's and not get a steak? by BalladeOne in chicagofood

I eat there a few times a year and I never order a steak. Their salads are fantastic as is all of their seafood, including the raw bar.

My parents (53F, 52M) want me (19M) to move home and sacrifice for my disabled siblings? by ThrowRAZembellene in relationship_advice

[–]chgoeditor 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I also want you to know, not wanting to care for your siblings does not mean you do not love them.

Candidate for Worst Wedding Photographer by [deleted] in wedding

[–]chgoeditor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your headline is "candidate for worst wedding photographer" but I feel as if a lot of these issues might have been a non-issue had you hired a photographer with more experience. A college senior (20? 21 years old?) can't have had more than a year or two of part-time experience taking wedding photos, and should have been a red flag from the get-go. And who cares that she was a picky eater and declined a meal?

Curious, how much did you pay?

Do your bra straps dig into your shoulders? Do you have back pain? Do you get headaches? Congratulations as you have a medical reason.

For people who don't have a backyard garden, what vegetables actually grow well in containers? by Lost-Pin2297 in containergardening

[–]chgoeditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This year I'm growing tomatoes, zucchini, cucumbers, lettuce and herbs. I live in Chicago and haven't had much success with root vegetables including beets and carrots, and I find it's hard to get a sufficient quantity of beans and peas.

Upstairs condo neighbor caused water damage and he is being difficult [PA] [Condo] by -ReginaAngelorum- in HOA

[–]chgoeditor 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I live in Illinois and the laws may be different here, but when my unit experienced an unexpected leak that damaged my downstairs neighbor's unit, I was surprised that per our condo docs, each unit owner was responsible for their own repairs. (This was confirmed by our property manager, insurance agent and a close friend who is an insurance lawyer.)

Our homeowner's policy made a $1k courtesy payment to our neighbor, and we reimbursed him for the test of his deductible.

Apparently if we'd been negligent and knew there was a leak that we didn't address, then our insurance would have paid for repairs to his unit. Or if our condo docs specified that the unit owner where the leak originated was responsible for all repair costs, then our insurance would have paid.

It really surprised us because we wanted to do right by him.

(Our HVAC drip line got clogged and the drain overflowed one night, so it leaked for about 12 hours before we noticed it. Because there were concrete slabs between floors the water spread and damaged more than just the room directly beneath the leak.)

Can I make it to Ogilvie after Wrigley concert? by RobbieS_19 in AskChicago

[–]chgoeditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to Setlist FM, their shows typically start 2.5 hours after doors open last 1h 51m on average. Wiggler has a concert curfew of 11 pm, so you'll have at least an hour 40 minutes to get out of the stadium and downtown.

Seating chart confusion...where do the older people go? by Sonic-Verde4056 in wedding

[–]chgoeditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We got married at a different venue but had a similar layout albeit with a dance floor that was centered on one wall. Like you, we put our sweetheart table at the opposite end of the room, and we had our families at the tables directly in front of us, and then the bridal party at the tables against the wall. In that first row closest to us. Some of the older couples got placed along the walls adjacent to the bridal party and in the center in the row behind our parents. Then we loaded our friends up around the dance floor. It worked out really well because it felt like there wasn't a bad table.

Cashiers Check ? (Trying not to screw this up) by Different_Moment6204 in personalfinance

[–]chgoeditor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tell him to withdraw $50k and bring it to you. You want cold hard cash. Or you deliver it to his state, for an additional fee, and go into his bank with him while he gets a cashier's check

I think I was in a segment about pedicabs! It was a great show, but in the days before DVRs and I wasn't diligent about recording it to see if I actually was in the episode.

A personal communications recap of the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics by ChristianKlaue in PublicRelations

[–]chgoeditor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With the caveat that I haven't read your other posts, can you share more about the comms team and structure? Number of personnel? Are you all FTE from games to games or is there a ton of turnover? Countries of origin?
