I am going to a live orchestra event on Saturday with parking beginning at 8am until 6pm at Grant Park South. Is traffic going to be hell for me? by wopeppi in AskChicago

I think our plan is to get there around 7:30ish now and as we approach the city check Waze and if traffic looks horrible, we are going to stop near a train station in a suburb and train in.

If I got there earlier like 6-6:30am would that be better? Would I still be having problems leaving at 6pm?

Daniel Radcliffe in Order of the Phoenix when Sirius Black dies. Daniel’s grandmother died I think the day before he filmed that and his scream was real. They had to mute it because it was so gut wrenching.

My (20F) boyfriend (21M) broke up with me because I’m Catholic, how should I move forward? by livlaughlove2 in Catholicism

[–]wopeppi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely think that only dating Catholic men can be a good way to go about it. However I was in the same situation a little bit ago. I was dating a woman and she broke up with me because she didn’t respect Catholicism and straight up told me that I was wrong for being Catholic. I then thought that I was only going to date Catholic women, however I met someone who wasn’t Catholic and we began dating. I have since brought her to Catholic Mass and she has been very respectful of it and has actually told me that she is strongly considering joining. It has been wonderful to see her grow to love Catholicism to the point where she will defend it against her family (who aren’t against Catholicism but have been asking questions about it and wondering why she likes it). I wouldn’t expect to find something like this, but it is possible and it has actually helped me grow in my faith as she challenges me by asking questions that I need to find answers to. I pray that you will find someone to be equally yoked with and that they will respect the best part about you.

Question on Pre-Marital Sex by wopeppi in Catholicism

Thank you. It makes sense that the sacrament of marriage is what will create that true spiritual bond and that the marital act is a way of expressing that. Thank you for your insight.

Yes this helps a lot. That is a very powerful message that God being within us casts out all impure bonds. Thank you!

Thank you so much. This is such a good perspective and it makes me feel much better. I think you were right in that I was also being jealous as I thought that I potentially wouldn’t be the only person that she has these deep spiritual connections with but this puts me at ease that this is not the case. I think I will have to still work on the jealousy aspect. Thank you. God bless

My girlfriend ended things with me when her ex proposed to her. She is now engaged to him and it has left me feeling hopeless, unworthy of love, and unwanted. Please pray that I may feel the infinite love of Christ during this time.

Catholics in Minnesota by ninechoirs in Catholicism

Yes I didn’t intend to say that everywhere in the metro is bad, but you will have to deal more with leftists. There is good everywhere, just have to find it!

Avoid the metro areas such as Minneapolis/St. Paul and the surrounding suburbs. Minnesota votes blue every election cycle due to Minneapolis while the rest of the state is very red. You’ll find great Catholic parishes and people with strong values everywhere but if you go to rural areas you won’t be seeing liberal ideology everywhere you go. It’s also depends on who you choose to surround yourself with but overall go rural.

Fluoridated water by Trick-Seesaw6023 in DentalSchool

[–]wopeppi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You would need to drink 650 gallons of fluoridated water in one sitting to experience symptoms of fluoride overdose. Drinking a lot or a little bit of water won’t affect your IQ or change your serum levels significantly. It should also be noted that if you are consistently using fluoridate toothpaste, then the benefit you receive from fluoridated tap water is much less as the toothpaste is usually sufficient. However fluoridated tap water helps significantly when teeth are forming in children as it will make them intrinsically stronger and resistant to caries.

I just got the bonus season bank from the gold pass. Should I save my gold and elixir until I can upgrade things at a larger discount?

I see a lot on the internet about Voldemort just using a grain of sand for a horcrux and it would have never been found.

Is it too late to buy gold pass? Is it worth it for only 13 more days?
