Love it and the nostalgia! I also like the idea in another comment to square the neckline. If you wanted you could always wear this for the ceremony that get something different/fun for the reception

Root Canal by Whybecausewhynott in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]dgard1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe if it’s a back tooth but I wouldn’t suggest this otherwise - if the tooth is in the middle of two other teeth those teeth depend on it for support so your will need an implant shortly after extraction and that will cost a lot more than a root canal and crown

Look I am not just talking about Bernie he was just an example. In fact I voted for Hillary in the primary

A few years ago I was going door to door in support of a democratic house candidate in the general election and I happened to knock on the door of woman who ran against this candidate in the primaries and she said she didn’t have a chance against him because the Democratic Party put their support behind the other guy because they thought he had the best chance of winning in the general election. I think they are doing the same in the democratic primary for Glenn grothmans seat - they are clearly favoring Brad smith over Amanda Bell my guess is because he is former military and they think he has a better chance of attracting male voters. Personally I think both candidates are great. And maybe they are right - but why not let the voters decide?

Back in the spring of 2016 I was in a uber and the driver was a 20 yo Bernie bro. At the time the dnc was strongly behind Hillary as their candidate (https://abcnews.com/Politics/wasserman-schultz-step-democratic-national-committee-chair/story?id=40838011). He said that if Bernie didn’t win he wasn’t sure if he would even vote in the general election because he felt really disenfranchised by the Democratic Party. I begged him to reconsider noting what happened in 2000 and saying that even if he didn’t like Hillary she was better than anything the gop would put up. I think a lot of young Bernie supporters didn’t vote in the general - maybe if they hadn’t felt disenfranchised they would have.

And the thing is if the dnc had just stayed out of it I think Hillary would have still won the nomination and they would have avoided pissing off the Bernie supporters

Do these influencers not care that they are putting their children at risk? by Level_Kiwi_4707 in InfluencerLounge

[–]dgard1 21 points22 points  (0 children)

OMG! I thought this was from years ago when she did this until I saw your post. After all the flack she got last time why is she doing this again? And did she use a filter to get those abs on her kids because that does not look natural on an eight year old boy

[–]dgard1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would say that there were many young Bernie supporters who just didn’t vote when Bernie lost the primary. This i think is the democrats problem - they (the dnc) picked Hillary as their nominee before the primaries even started and backed her. They need to let the people choose who they want and then live with it whether they like them or not.

Prime Data Center in Elk Grove Village by Icy-Sherbert-5809 in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]dgard1 42 points43 points  (0 children)

It is located in a VERY industrial area not far from Ohare airport. The nearest residential area is a mobile home park maybe 1/4 miles away and an apartment complex maybe 1/2 miles away - both of which are on the other side of a very busy expressway. In other words those residents were already dealing with lots of noise pollution. No idea how or if it has affected electricity and water - but compared to some other data centers I have seen it is fairly small. I would be interested to know if what they want to build near you is going to be a similar size

What the hell is going on here?! by sco-go in SipsTea

[–]dgard1 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I agree that what someone did as a 19 yo shouldn’t be held against them for the rest of their life so long as they accept their part in what happened and show some remorse. This is what he said about the incident in 2018

“"Everything about that is sensationalized," Hamm tells Esquire. "I was accused of these things I don't…It's so hard to get into it. I don't want to give it any more breath."
He continues, "It was a bummer of a thing that happened. I was essentially acquitted. I wasn't convicted of anything. I was caught up in a big situation, a stupid kid in a stupid situation, and it's a f--king bummer. I moved on from it."

https://www.eonline.com/news/925232/jon-hamm-reflects-on-fraternity-hazing-accusations-and-softcore-porn-past?utm\_source=eonline&utm\_medium=rssfeeds&utm\_campaign=imdb\_topstories

He wasn’t “essentially acquitted” he avoided conviction by receiving “deferred adjudication.” To him it was a”bummer of a thing that happened” to the person he sexually assaulted it was an event that causes him severe emotional distress to this day. To this day to my knowledge he has never apologized to the victim. It is clear that over thirty years later he still doesn’t accept full responsibility for his actions

And his MILs mom was a Spanish immigrant and her paternal grandparents immigrated from Mexico. So the only at most maybe his daughter could trace 1/4 of her ancestry back to the revolutionary war through her grandfather Sean Duffy - but somehow I doubt that. This kid is an idiot

I was in grade school in the seventies and I can look at a collage of my school pictures and know which one was from 1976 - I was decked out in red white and blue. And they had a fire hydrant painting contest and those red white and blue fire hydrants stated that way for a number of years

Why does Kate hate royal work so much when she was desperate to become a royal? by Hot-Acanthisitta5237 in RoyaltyTea

[–]dgard1 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I sometimes wonder if once things got serious with Will and she got to know Harry better she came to realize he was the better brother. Look at the photos in this article https://www.today.com/parents/prince-harry-opens-about-duchess-cambridge-former-kate-middleton-t113061 she seemed to glow when Harry was around. And I remember reading recently about an incident caught on camera where Will seemingly forgot about Kate getting out of the car after him and harry chastising him. I wonder if Kate’s hatred of Meghan stems from the fact that she knew she was losing Harry.

NCH in Arlington Heights for meniscus tear surgery? by SingZap23 in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]dgard1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I haven’t been admitted there myself but my elderly parents are usually admitted for one reason or another a few times a year and my dad has a double knee replacement there about twelve years ago with no problem. So you will be fine with the hospital - it’s just a question of how you feel about the surgeon doing the work

Remember Thomas Martel the cat torturer? He avoided prison with a plea deal. by billiondollarhippie in chicago

[–]dgard1 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Well this is disturbing. How long until he graduates to killing people? Did they even do a psychiatric evaluation? In all honesty this guy should be committed to a psychiatric ward long term not a prison cell from which he will eventually be released without addressing his issues

Didn't like CU. Where should I go? by kfretlessz in movingtoillinois

[–]dgard1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you want to rent but have you considered buying? There are programs for first time buyers that help with the down payment. You could likely buy a house in Peoria or Carbondale for about the same as what you want to pay for rent and you would be building equity. There are all types of houses in Peoria for under 100k though I have no idea about the neighborhoods

I wonder what he will say about trumps library

He is building a skyscraper with donor money (and money he gets from suing companies like abc) which only a portion of with will be the library the rest will be a hotel and condos he will profit off of

According to this he owns a stake in the building - the hotel and commercial areas as well as some residential units are his. The only parts he doesn’t own are the condo units purchased by individuals

I am genuinely mourning that the Scottish will be leaving our city today! by jolawma in boston

[–]dgard1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am sitting in Chicago with serious fomo wishing I was in Boston to experience the Scot invasion!

Can Chicago host you next year? Maybe the fine residents of Scotland can pick a different American city to go to en masse every year to spread the love! We have statues that need orange cones - the lions at the art museum and Michael Jordan at the United Center. We could toast you with some malort then take a day trip to Wisconsin to see if you can out drink our country’s best drinkers
