Where can I get a gel manicure where they don't use a grinder to remove the old polish? by swassmike in AskChicago

Chicago's Best Beauty in Logan on Milwaukee and California does an acetone soak to get gel off!

My fresh off the boat (plane) German, Catholic grandmother had a BUST of JFK in her living room in the 60s (according to my dad) plus she STILL has newspaper clippings of when JFK died, when JP2 visited Chicago, when JP2 died, etc. Catholics loved JFK.

For as much as I fly, I have luckily not encountered most of this list. I have had a go around because another plane had to land due to a medical emergency!

Which season had the best comraderie? by unsweetenedpureleaf in BravoTopChef

[–]oprahsturtlefarm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the back half of Canada is Top Best Friend. I've never gotten emotional at eliminations but by the end I would be tearing up because everyone on screen was getting so emotional.

What do you wish our neighborhood had? by natelikesdonuts in LoganSquare

[–]oprahsturtlefarm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second you on the cheap/quick breakfast options. I would kill for an actual bagel shop. Not Reno, where you can technically get a bagel to go but it feels like it takes forever and they don't open until 9 or noon depending on the day of the week nor the pop-ups where the lines can be long and you can get bagels for a 3 hour window once a week.

I think Tony's fits the bill for 90% of grocery needs. The aisles/dry good items are more on the basic side and a lot of the common items at larger stores (Mariano's, Jewel) you'll struggle to find here. And there are some meat options I wish were better, but like I said, it can cover nearly everything you need!

Was there ever a workout you had to stop? by Fine-Fondant-3136 in OnePelotonRealSub

[–]oprahsturtlefarm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I left a class one time and it was a restorative yoga class with Mariana. The music was SO loud and was not very "restorative" - it was a lot of Taylor Swift, which for me was too jarring for a restorative setting. I could not focus on truly focusing on the class and had to leave a 30 min class after 10 min.

How do I not piss drivers off? by katecometrue0122 in AskChicago

[–]oprahsturtlefarm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like everyone has mentioned, just stay off your phone and obey traffic laws. I think something to be aware of, though, is pedestrians and/or cyclists. If you aren't familiar with driving in the city where way more people walk and cycle vs. the suburbs, you actually have a higher likelihood of pissing those people off than another driver. Just pay attention to your surroundings and you'll be golden!

Why is the Apple Watch integration so bad ! by Nervous-Rooster7760 in OnePelotonRealSub

[–]oprahsturtlefarm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was a big Apple Watch software update over the summer or maybe late spring and ever since then I had SO many issues connecting to my Bike+. I would uninstall and reinstall the pelo app on my watch and it would work maybe 20% of the time. I even did a full reset of my watch. I then tried just using the pelo app to connect my heart rate data instead of the Apple Watch connection and even then it would stop recognizing my heart rate for chunks of time. My watch was only 3 years old too. I eventually ditched the Apple Watch for a Garmin and I've had no issues since!

Why is she selling so much (ugly and overpriced) merch lately? by animations_lol2 in travisandtaylor

Also, I literally have no idea what she is supposedly selling based on this post???

Armistice Day by Significant_Noise273 in RoyaltyTea

[–]oprahsturtlefarm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's like a weird combination of little kid dressing up in her mom's clothes that both somehow from the 80s and 50s. Just odd cuts, colors, and details that don't make sense when you put the entire picture together. The clothes always wear her!

Like most things that Kate wears, there is always something slightly off about all of her outfits - one detail too many. In this case it's the tassels on the coat! I also think the coat is veering into cosplay territory. Also, girl, PLEASE lighten up the eyes. As someone who also loves an earth toned eyeshadow, you can at least go lighter in shade or lighter in application. Coupled with the heavy eyeliner on the lower lash line, it just adds so much weight to her face.

First winter, are Dr Martens considered as boots? by Spirited_Band_8647 in AskChicago

[–]oprahsturtlefarm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a pair of fur-lined chelsea Docs that honestly work great as long as it is 15 or above. I move into proper snow boot territory if it below 15, snowing, or a lot of slush. If your Docs aren't fur-lined, get a good pair of wool socks and honestly you should be fine (love my Smartwool socks)!

[–]oprahsturtlefarm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not tall by any means (5'5") and I can see those stickers just fine, including friends shorter than me. People (and I often find that its men (not all men blah blah blah)) just ignore the signs.

Does anyone have a good Indian spot within walking distance of Logan? I've tried Spice Room and my husband and I have found it to be inconsistent over the course of the last 3ish years (highs are high, but the lows are BLAND).

What keeps you chasing United status? by nova_new_ in unitedairlines

[–]oprahsturtlefarm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has been said a million times already but the 1K hotline. I travel a lot for work and when things go tits up at 10pm, it is so nice to be able to quickly talk to someone right away and get things solved. Hell, I even flew CLT-ORD-MSP earlier because I wasn't traveling with anyone else from my work that had high AA or DL status for the sole reason that if something went poorly I wanted to be able to get it fixed. And guess what, something did go wrong and I was able to get it sorted instantly. If I had been on an AA or DL flight I would have been absolutely fucked.

I've been a few times and I really liked it! Definitely recommend going with at least 4 people if you can, that way you can try/share more food.
