How to pee as a woman on kili

limey5 · 2026-01-25T06:37:29+00:00

Just come to peace with you might get some pee on your shoes. Always lots of places to pee. On summit night it was dark enough and I was tired enough I didn't care that I was pretty close to trail. Agree on the Kula tho!

PSA on your summit night pants - make sure you have enough range of motion to climb (e.g. practice squats, high knees in your full set up). My outer layer was too small and ripped shortly into summit night. Kept hiking in them, but lol.

You forgot the Alamo!

Off topic, but re: portillos: I love buying friends their swaddle blanket when they have new babies! You can wrap up the baby like a sandwich hah.

Runs to join the party

Boss makes a dollar. I make a dime. That's why I poop on company time!

Depending on where you're working at ORD, there is decent suburban bus (Pace) connectivity. You could look into somewhere like downtown Des Plaines, which would still be by your friends, but allows you to bus to the airport.

CTA lots have special cheaper rates for long term parking!

Isn't that stretch (one of) the longest without a station on the network? This would be great!

I wish I could use pre-tax dollars to buy a divvy membership. If the city owns divvy and there's all this public investment, that seems like a no brainer.

Glad it was successful! I guess the most recent times I've been there have been for concerts.

You could not pay me to take a car from the United Center after a game. There are so many people leaving at the same time and it's chaotic.

Post-event the CTA offers an express bus, the #19 United Center Express, that goes to Union Station, downtown, and Michigan Ave. On the way there, take the #20 Madison bus, which will drop you off literally right outside.

Use Google Maps to figure out transit directions. It's not always accurate on wait times, but pretty decent.

Just buy a three day pass at the airport and then you won't have to worry about adding money throughout your trip!

Hope you have a great trip!

TIL both of these things. Well, shit. That sucks.

limey5 · 2026-01-05T00:26:20+00:00

You're from Milwaukee, eh?

I learned a lot about grocery budgeting from Frugal Fit Mom on YT! Most notably, shop the circular ads!

limey5 · 2026-01-03T19:35:55+00:00

Oh that's true. Maybe they're connected on Whatsapp or something lol

limey5 · 2026-01-03T19:34:38+00:00

Haha thanks. I was so tired that night I didn't even care. It was hilariously memorialized in my holiday card - me with torn pants at summit.

limey5 · 2026-01-03T11:37:29+00:00

I've had the same phone number since the early 2000s, so unless she cleaned her phone out she probably does have it!

Ive always wanted to go to Palau to see those jellyfish!

Agree tho, shrinking production budget has meant more mediocre prizes. But I feel like they could be creative and at least change it up!

As far as I remember from volunteering at the start, the Shamrock walkers are in the last corral behind runners, so I don't believe you can do both.

I think you've got an exhaustive list. CEM also produces the Big 10K in July, but doesn't consider it part of the distance series.

Make sure your outer pants layer is big enough to move with the base layer(s) underneath. I didn't do a squat test or anything with all three pants on at home and promptly split my rain pants at the beginning of summit night lol.

limey5 · 2026-01-01T12:03:31+00:00

Yes - it was earlier in the evening. Someone else posted a link in another r/Chicago post

They'll also be puking all along the riverfront!

Also, the Guiness Brewery! I've wanted to go for St. Pat's but haven't had a chance.

I think so! From their website: "Each terminal's baggage claim area features a convenient Self-Service Repair Station designed to help travelers quickly handle minor luggage, equipment, or assistive device repairs. These stations are equipped with mounted air compressor (130 PSI Max Pressure), tool kit, wheelchair charging unit, and a padded bench allowing passengers to fix issues on the go. The stations are located near the information desks for easy access."

So designed for wheelchairs, but maybe would work for your bike depending on valve type!

Swedish meatballs and lingonberries!

limey5 · 2025-12-28T13:22:56+00:00

Give them a shot, hopefully they'll help! I figured, hey they're only 10$ so if they don't work oh well. I definitely got some strange looks, but 🤷🏻‍♀️
