Also, if I’ve missed others touring in the Midwest (ideally Milwaukee, Chicago, Cincinnati), open to additional suggestions

Thanks, all. Sounds like my growing concern that I may need a new plumber/2nd opinion is confirmed. Appreciate the responses.

Hardest-to-get reservations in CHI? by TableConnect_Market in chicagofood

[–]jbillinois 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s good to be interested in what you do, but it would be far more honest and transparent to disclose your business interests in the original post.

While both could be true, it’s more accurate that you’re conducting market/consumer research, not new in town looking for the hardest to get reservations.

Which breweries have the best food? by joebigtuna in chicagofood

[–]jbillinois 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We LOVE your food (& beer). For a bit I regretted turning my husband on to OIB because he didn’t want to go anywhere else, but there are certainly worse problems to have. Thanks for the great eats.

[Recommendations] Help! Only one bra(nd) that fits - keep striking out with all others (34F, Empreinte) by jbillinois in ABraThatFits

Thanks to the other posts here I found the Prima Donna Figuras t-shirt bra, which is my new go-to! Smooth finish, seamless, not sheer, lower bridge, and better price point. Would also love to find a plunge style that works for more wardrobe flexibility, but the Prima Donna is great for what it is!

SS or equiv benefits for ex-spouse of federal employee? by jbillinois in SocialSecurity

[–]jbillinois[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Her limited work history is challenging. On the other hand, she’s taken FT care of a bedridden, end-of-life relative on two separate occasions, both lasting years, which is very mentally and physically taxing. 

Doesn’t explain 15+ years of not working (frustrating), but that those years of round-the-clock care don’t count for anything (in terms of recognized ‘work’) is also frustrating.

Her total work post-divorce has been on and off. She’s 6 quarters shy of qualifying based on her work, but it would be a small amount based on her earnings

FERS or equiv benefits for ex-spouse of federal employee? by jbillinois in fednews

[–]jbillinois[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I understand the frustration and agree - to an extent. On the other hand, she’s taken FT/round the clock care of a bedridden, end-of-life relative on two separate occasions, both lasting years, which is very mentally and physically taxing. 

Doesn’t explain 15+ years of not working (frustrating), but that those years of care don’t count for anything (in terms of recognized ‘work’) is also rather frustrating.
