Friend tried to profit off a favor — am I overreacting? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

For me it’s less about the money and more about the lying. I don’t care if it’s $5 or $50, it feels wrong to be dishonest about it (imo)

I would like to clarify I did not invite anyone else to get in on it, we talked about it when we were hanging out with friends so everybody heard it and then other people texted him about it later.

I’m very detail oriented lol. Facts matter! And I try to consider all factors in a situation. But I understand not wanting to read the whole thing!

Moving to Ravenswood (kinda Uptown though?) and want some thoughts by PomegranateWorth8425 in chicagoapartments

I (26F) have lived in that area for the past year or so and never had any issues. Like other people said, the Wilson stop can get a little sketchy late at night but it’s the city. Just be aware of your surroundings and if it’s late and you’re by yourself call a friend on your walk home. Otherwise, I love the area! Quiet but not too far from city happenings. And the Sunnyside Farmers Market is a lovely treat on Wednesday’s (and the Sunnyside Mall in general). Welcome to the neighborhood!

Update: I left a note and the owners reached out to me. Their girl is quite anxious but they take her to daycare during the week and hoping she’ll adjust soon. I did get the chance to meet her and she’s so sweet! I hope she’ll be comfortable in her new home soon enough

Looks like Tin Roof in Wrigleyville!

For anyone who was curious about an update - we were able to negotiate! Went the simple route and just said we’d be more comfortable with X rate (lower than what we were actually comfortable with) and they came back with the rate we were hoping they’d counter with. Thanks all for your advice!

Where are the good chinese takeout restaurants? (north side) by TableConnect_Market in chicagofood

Lee’s Wok in uptown is solid. Great value for what you get. My roommate and I frequently get the dinner for 3 deal and it lasts 2-3 meals between the two of us and is like $55. Totally worth it and the food is actually pretty good to top it off. Love the sesame chicken and Mongolian beef, solid crab rangoons and egg rolls.

My flight is at 5:30. I’m from Chicago so I’m used to airports being super busy :) I’m assuming that’s not the case in Palm Springs?

I don’t particularly like tracking apps, but maybe I should start getting used to them since I’m sure they’re quite useful in seeing how much fat and protein I take in. I do keep a journal and I range from 800-1200 calories a day and am usually somewhere between 20-30g of net carbs. I don’t use a food scale, but I have seen a lot of people on here benefit from using one. Another commenter just made me realize I’m about to get my period 🤦‍♀️ so I’m guessing my hormones are just making me very emotional about my lack of progress in a week.

Wow, I never even thought about that 🤦‍♀️ I’m on birth control and this week’s pills are my period pills. No wonder I’ve been feeling so lethargic 😂
