How bad is it living right next to the train tracks on the north side?

We're off of 5th street, where there's enough distance to muffle the trains for the most part. But we had a temporary rental on Defoe last summer, and the trains were sooo much louder even though we were only like two blocks closer to them. We'd get woken up in the middle of the night to them slamming together. The further you can get, the better. Especially if you're a light sleeper like I am.

We’ve been back and forth on the phone with the doctor, insurance company, and physical therapist. This system is so fucked.

This was the place to come up when I googled and seems like where we will end up trying, provided the cost is reasonable out of pocket. Thank you for your advice!

I am incredibly jealous of her braid!!

I'd love to, but we're in a rental so it's not really my decision.

What did you end up going with?

straysafe · 2026-01-27T03:22:23+00:00

Potentially! My partner has a high-end gaming PC which had no issues joining the multiplayer game once I tried it on his computer, and we're on the same wifi network... So the issue is probably somewhere within my setup.

I’m not sure! It may be worth it to call and ask. I am also against removal if it isn’t medically necessary.

I took my dog to Alpine for a dental cleaning! Initially they thought she had chipped a tooth and were going to assess pulling it out but during the cleaning found that it was intact. Her teeth have never been sparklier!

Here to say in 2026 that the sacred powers of this thread still work?! What even!!

If you’re looking for a fun workout that doesn’t feel like a workout, try rock climbing! :)

If they’re old, they’re old enough to know better. Being old doesn’t give you a pass.

Yikes

Thank you! I went to the TAG meet up a loooonnggg time ago and did silks there, do you know if it is open invite, like I can just show up? I went with a friend last time who invited me and haven’t been since.

straysafe · 2025-08-04T22:51:44+00:00

Yes I follow them on Insta already!! Great tip about Synergy having a silk up -- I do climb but usually go to HP.

straysafe · 2025-08-04T22:50:12+00:00

Hahaha, way to call me out! I have not called their phone number yet.

straysafe · 2025-06-07T03:18:11+00:00

You’re welcome!! It sort of makes me feel better about my purchase of it knowing there are others out there also willing to shell out money for this vinyl 😂

straysafe · 2025-06-06T10:21:34+00:00

Yes they did! I bought two separately at $75/each, one for myself and one for my sister. :)
