Thanks GB. OH got the call early this morning and has been a wreck. We leave Tuesday for our long-planned Chicago trip, and this really changes the tenor of that.

Whoa. Got some very bad news about a friend of the thread. OH’s friend whose name comes up in these threads has died unexpectedly. Don’t think it’s public yet, though. Terrible day.

I'm just catching up on the thread after not being around much for a week. Love these! They really hit that deep groove on both Higher Ground and For Once in My Life. On a separate note, I'm really sorry to hear about your stepmother, @Pip's Invitation

OH and I are going to start this one this weekend, too.

:lmao: Dying.

I'm here for the Big Star.

I pulled the plug on watching last week. I hope the boyfriend team or Mom/son team wins. Wake me up for season 37.

I've had a rough time today finding a local that works for everything I want. But then I convinced myself that this is stupid and I should not be putting this in place right now. Chicago market is not hot like it is here, and things aren't going to go crazy in nine months. I need to wait and...

I find myself tending toward my old neighborhood or those adjacent - Wicker Park, Ukrainian Village, Logan Square, etc. - and also could do West Loop or West Town. I'd be open to places like Lincoln Square or Andersonville, but my mom would likely have a hard time finding a place to meet their...

Crap. I talked to my credit union, and while they do HELOCs, they have a maximum of $250k. That's not going to do it for the "buy using my HELOC and cash on hand" scenario. Does this seem unusual? When I did it before using a local bank, there wasn't a cap (or at least not one that I was...

All of your analysis seems spot-on as usual, but particularly this part.

Totally. In DEN, for instance, the TSA people told me not to do CLEAR-plus-TSA and it would be much better to go through regular TSA. And for a while in SEA skipping CLEAR was the way to go. Then you have the airports where you have to make a choice...for instance, I've gone through PHX a few...

Exactly where I am. They're both likable and the only ones playing a semblance of a good strategic and social game.

Down 1.5 pounds over the past two days. Going in the right direction. Couldn't get out to walk today due to high winds and rain, so I did a difficult yoga practice that I'll regret tomorrow. :lol:

If your entertainment system doesn’t work or Wi-Fi doesn’t, on Delta you can ask a FA and they have a little device where they immediately give you 5000 or 10,000 miles. Or contact customer service afterward and they do. Just in case anyone didn’t know that. Not sure about other airlines.
