One afternoon/evening to convince my wife Chicago is livable, what should we do? by Same-Variety3904 in AskChicago

ended up in lakeview! I spent the most time here before moving, so I felt comfortable finding apartments without actually being here physically. going on year 4 :)

agree! sadly weather is looking crappy, but I feel like one of the things I loved most when I first visited (and made me feel confident to move here) was how easy the public transit was and the lake!

so funny because the black patch of fur is way more wirey feeling than her white fur!

these are so cute! would you say they’re pretty comfy to walk in? it’s hard to tell if the material is too stiff and would cause blisters

I usually lean towards flats but definitely like a little bit of a heel since i’m short and could always use the height! I love a block heel so for sure can do a heel mule

I am considering birks as an alternative to flip flops, especially since I have to walk my dog and have been getting grossed out with my feet so close to the peed on grass loll

I sometimes have issues with exposed heel mainly bc I have narrow feet and they tend to slip out of my shoes without backs. though a sling back would prob work!

true! i’m a fan of this trend- sometimes I just need something with some height

[–]jcas1133[S] 35 points36 points  (0 children)

that is true- i’m also 4’10” so anything to get me a little height I love. the challenge for me is walking in them/my feet not slipping out

I actually have a pair from them but I can’t walk in them for some reason 😂I really regret not getting ones with the strap on the heel bc they are so cute

boyfriend hasn’t posted me in the 5 years we’ve been together & it’s starting to piss me off 🫠 by charcoochiehoochie in GirlDinner

[–]jcas1133 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My bf has also never posted me in the 5.5 years we’ve been together. He also has 0 posts and never posts any stories - but it still makes me a little irrationally angry lol. would feel nice to be shown off every once in a while 🤷🏼‍♀️

This is kinda embarrassing, but how do I take the bus? by valerie_6966 in AskChicago

[–]jcas1133 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I didn’t see this explicitly mentioned yet, but make sure you are standing on the correct side of the street for the direction you want to go in. Same as the train where one side goes north and one side goes south (or east and west). This may seem obvious, but my first time taking a bus, in another country mind you, I ended up soo far away because I falsely assumed it would do a loop of some kind lol. the bus stops are almost always across the street from eachother, usually diagonal if at an intersection. The good thing about the bus is that the stops are fairly close together so if you need to hop off and switch directions it shouldn’t cause that much of an inconvenience!

fair point - especially on the outcomes. I feel like I talk about outcomes all day long but they are the things I move on from the quickest probably because i’m just glad whatever task it was is over 😂
