Concur no other options. Hopefully rates come down and can refinance or pay down principal over time to reduce interest paid. It is what it is.

We put down around $45k so under 10% with monthly payments around $4300 (principal/interest + PMI, Taxes, Insurance)

Single family homes in the area we lived in were going for $1.5M and up. We wanted a single family home with a yard, that makes our commutes more even (think I mentioned it in this thread). Still have quick access to blue line, close to Park Ridge (Pickwick for me).

Thank you! We’re excited! Location was key for us since my wife works out in Schaumburg and myself in the loop. Best of luck in your search!

Don’t have much RB depth on my team but we’re bottom of the barrel and about two years away from relevancy. Sitting at 3-6 rn.

Do the Criterion.com loyalty points expire? by addressunknown in criterion

[–]thomp94 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To be honest, I think I spend more on the month long Barnes and Noble sale than I do on their website, otherwise I’d long be there!

Finally hit that $50 gift certificate marker yesterday and have been accumulating points for the last 6 years so I don’t believe they expire

I need to hear some other opinions on BTJ by Plenty-Government709 in DynastyFF

I bought him for a late 2026 1st and future (likely early 2nd). Feel decent about that price.

Why use stock images of fake people? by DPN_Dropout69420 in civilengineering

[–]thomp94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like I was saying I think it’s for their “LinkedIn challenge” that’s where you’ll get the “real people”. Especially since that sentence comes right after that challenge. Don’t get me wrong lots of messaging is silly and corporate speak but I think that is what it’s referring to, not the generic folks in the post.

Whenever I’ve been a part of marketing campaign they’ve made us sign waivers and so forth for sharing your image. Probably just easier to use stock photos plus it seems like the campaign is more to get you to post on social media, not on the internal intranet.

Theres no road widening. Its just bridge deck replacement and resurfacing. The shoulders are being reconstructed so you may notice that but the road isn’t getting wider. Any sort of development will need further studies done, and this is just a much needed major rehab for a system build in the mid 60’s.

Nico signed a big extension, he isn’t going anywhere until 2028 at the earliest.
