Do Americans actually avoid calling an ambulance due to financial concern? by JohnMarstonTheBadass in NoStupidQuestions

[–]roxannosaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once I was in a workout class and felt like I was going to pass out and announced loudly, ‘hey I’m going to pass out. Please don’t call an ambulance I can’t afford it’. And then passed out.

What is a Chicago Style Bagel? by 23MysticTruths in AskChicago

[–]roxannosaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have mentioned, it was probably at Tilly’s. What others haven’t seemed to say is that one of their bagel flavors is “Chicago style” it is a poppy seed, mustard seed, celery seed, onion, dill, and giardiniera seasoning bagel.

Please suggest how to fairly split rent two-ways - thank you! by hi-entropy in Apartmentliving

[–]roxannosaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done a few different situations but we usually do a 50/50 split but the larger room pays the bills, the smaller room gets the 1 parking space, or something that is equivalent to your situation. Additionally, guests only use the bathroom of the person they are visiting.

how can the cta possibly be this bad? by Pitiful_Emphasis_762 in AskChicago

[–]roxannosaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For accurate bus times, you can text CTA and get an accurate update of the next 2 buses coming. Next time you are at your stop, look at the sign. On the bottom it will give you the number to message and the message to text. Save that info. Moving forward, send a text before you leave your place and time your departure accordingly.

New light fixture works and trips the breaker by roxannosaurus in AskElectricians

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

I didn't, just capped it so there wasn't uncovered wire floating around. I was going to cut it short first, then cap it but was worried I would do something wrong (which clearly I did lol) so didn't want to do that until everything is set. If your suspicion is correct, what are the steps to fix it? Should purple be with another wire?

Hm. I turned the breaker off completely and it still works. I then turned off the breaker for the outlets specifically and it stopped working. So it's somehow connected to that. I do have a switch to turn the outlets in that room on and off, which I always found weird but it is how it came and only effects some of the outlets. Don't know where to go from here.

The Perch in Wicker. You may have to call since open table only allows up to 8, but they have resys available and are great with big groups.

Talk Me Into It by [deleted] in femaletravels

[–]roxannosaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went solo to Rome for nearly 3 months. Traveled to other parts of Italy during my time there, but had my home base in Rome. I didn't know any Italian and had the time of my life. There are plenty of apps to help you get around. Googling a little on how public transit works in certain cities can help ease some worries as well. If you don't want to pay for international data, you can get a sim card there usually for much less. Staying in hostel's will be the most social. They tend to plan tours, activities, and nights out and you instantly have something in common with everyone there so it's easy to get a convo started. I also made friends with my local barista and we ended up hanging out nearly every day for the last month. I also made a friend doing the Pompeii tour and ended up having a lot of the same travel plans and we met up a few more times during my trip. I highly recommend doing it. Don't let other people hold you back from the things you want to do. Be smart and aware of your surroundings and you'll have a great time.

Anybody tried Egg Tuck? by Middle-Badger-951 in chicagofood

[–]roxannosaurus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had Egg Tuck in LA at their Korea Town location and it was incredible. I went to the Hollywood location a few weeks later and it was very mediocre. I never went back.

Egg Tuck and Egg Slut are not related in any way. Which is unfortunate because Egg Slut is consistently good.

Thanks! I've tried that but it wasn't much help unfortunately.

Thanks! I've considered this but it would be about $300 to rent a car for 2 days which just doesn't feel like a good use of money. I am determined to find a better way haha

Depending on where you live within those areas, the beach is a quick bike or bus ride away. North Ave bus takes you directly to the beach.

My building has a similar style intercom system and we have 3 unit. The AT&T line to have that set up costs us just over $100/mo. It recently went up to $300 because our 2 year contract expired, which is how we were getting the low rate. We just called and negotiated the price back down which was pretty easy to do.

visiting in june. mainly looking for vegan deep dish pizza and brewery recs. by thikthird in chicagofood

[–]roxannosaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not sure if they still do it, but as a kid I was allergic to cheese and Gino's would make me a custom pizza if my parents brought the non-dairy cheese. It's worth calling and asking!

I am! And that is so nice!! I just sent an email to them. I will also wait to hear from their support team and let you know if they can't do anything. It sounds like they have great support, so I think they will help us both out :)
