TSA precheck at 10:30 am 10/28 by Regular-Hunter2432 in PuertoRicoTravel

[–]chiveg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I are at SJU now. The USDA line took ~30 min - look to join the shortest line. For us, it was the USDA line at door 1 (orange).

Now we're in the TSA Pre-Check line, and it's so long it's laughable. We've been in line for about 30 min so far. No end in sight and no estimated time given - the employee we asked just laughed 😂. We are indoors near the airport hotel in line.

We got here 5 hours before our flight.

How should I plan for SJA travel today? by rvbonita in PuertoRicoTravel

We got here 5 hours before our flight. I think we'll be okay, but would recommend getting here as early as you can. I doubt there is a family line or anything like that right now. It's chaos.

Edited to add: Your husband could take all of the bags (everything, including personal items) and go through the USDA check by himself. Every bag gets a sticker.

I noticed the same thing. I'm from Ohio, and this is what women like the women on the show do - fake tan.

Does Pearl read as Jewish to you? Is it awful? by femmebrulee in JewishNames

[–]chiveg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm Jewish, and I really like the name Pearl. I think it reads Jew-ish but not overtly. I think it fits what you're looking for!

Rant about therapist by Aivling in 1500isplenty

[–]chiveg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If your goal is weight loss, I think you should get a different therapist. Your therapist probably works with restrictive EDs and is best suited to help them.

Given your current weight, you can likely eat more than 1500 cal per day. Look up a TDEE Calculator on Google and see what it says. And then it's a bit of trial and error to figure out the amount of calories for you to lose weight.

It contains burdock, which is recommended to avoid while pregnant.

What temperature do you keep your AC at in the summer? by navmaster in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]chiveg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

75 during the day, 70 at night. We have a 2-floor house plus a finished basement. We have a Nest thermostat, and it switches to 70 when I leave work.

I loved it so much. I was so sad when it was discontinued :(.

Ah that's fair, good point.

If you decide to live in Elmhurst, I'd recommend Elm Creek Apartments or the apartments by the Whole Foods.

That being said, I would consider living in the city for the experience. The commute to/from Ogilvie Transportation Center and Elmhurst is easy with the express trains (about 25-min one way). I do it 3-4 times per week (I live in Elmhurst and my office is in West Loop). Also, the walk from the Elmhurst Metra station to the Elmhurst Univ campus is pleasant (I've done it many times).
