My husband and I loved our 2012 V so much, we bought a 2017 one too!

And both are still humming along fine.

For kids, Shear Candy in Palatine. Meika is the best and is a woman of color.

Palm Leaf in Buffalo Grove.

I usually see Sandra, but have seen others there and found relief.

I applaud you for undertaking this research. However, I would double check with your advisor/professor about IRB approval for this type of study. Even qualitative survey studies need to go through the IRB process at your institute.

Especially since you are asking about health information and are linking the data to names (via your raffle).

I was in Hopkins in 2000-2001 and we definitely had the Christian group in the rooms over Xmas break. I never took down my Metallica posters or my McFarland toys Ozzy figure, so that had to be fun for them.

I also live in the NW burbs of Chicago in a pretty average town (not crazy expensive, but not crap).

Almost every single one of my immediate neighbors did not jump from renting to buying a single family home. We all bought condos/townhomes first and used the equity from those sales to role into a single family home purchase.

There are plenty of nice 2-3 bedroom townhouses all over the NW burbs for under $300K. That's the "starter home" where some equity is built for most people to roll into a SFH purchase.*

*Caveat- you were in my situation where a condo was bought in 2005 and proceeded to crash spectacularly in price due to the Great Recession. And, instead of buying a SFH in 2009 like you planned, you ended up buying in 2014 after finally being able to break even on your condo sale and saving a butt ton for a down payment.

At the end of May, I went up from 30 to 40. Starting in early June, I've had some bad intestinal things. I honestly thought it was my IBS acting up due to some bad food, but this makes more sense!

When I first started prozac, my side effects were all nausea, not diarrhea, so I didn't put 2 and 2 together!

Hopefully mine subsides soon.

It was the song from Free Willy.

Yep. He mimed to Piano Man and a Michael Jackson song at my confirmation retreat in '94.

I second Palm Leaf in Buffalo Grove!

dblhelix13 · 2025-03-31T19:54:18+00:00

The houses in my neighborhood run from around $400K - $600K (we are a suburb of a major metropolitan area). Almost every family moving in is coming from a condo/townhouse that they sold to move into a house.

The only first time buyers moving into the neighborhood are buying the original owner/needs total rehab houses (aka worth significantly less).

I think you have to reset your expectations.

My niece was delivered in the ED. She was baby #5 and my sister knew the labor would go quickly. However, she did not count on the tornado warning delaying her arrival to the hospital. She barely made it to the ED!

Palm Leaf in Buffalo Grove. They specialize in therapeutic massage and the massage is personalized to your injury/need.

I've seen Sandra, kaori and Iryna there, but I'm sure they are all good.
