I ❤️ Chicago. I lived there for a few years as a child and moved to the South, but it is my favorite city. I have taken all of my children back for visits, with my youngest and I finally going for a road trip last summer. The Museum of Science and Industry is still my favorite. She wanted to visit several of the 'photo-heavy' things such as the Ice Cream Museum and Color Museum but we also hit up the Shedd Aquarium, 2 different highrises with great views, and also my favorite, Giordanos for their Chicago-style deep dish pizza.

As I said upthread, we traveled Monday from Virginia to Indianapolis for a swim meet yesterday (initially from Georgia). We stopped at a random rest stop in Indiana for the Eclipse. It was worth it. I was with my daughter and her coach and have some wonderful photos of them enjoying it. I had plenty of glasses so shared them with the many truckers who did not have any. I was glad to share with the very appreciative OTR drivers.

I'm just now reading this as our plans have changed. We were supposed to fly into Indianapolis for a swim meet Monday night but we are now driving. We are leaving VA early that morning and I think we will arrive in Dayton, OH in time for the eclipse. Reading this thread, it looks like after the eclipse, to continue on to Indianapolis, the traffic is likely to be horrendous. Or maybe it won't be too bad since we are still driving towards where the eclipse was? Thoughts? Honesty, initially I never even thought about being in Indianapolis at the same time as the eclipse, my husband is the one who mentioned it was the same time LOL

If you are secure with your DH, there is no reason at all to worry about what she does. Not exactly the same thing but my husband's ex-GF was always trying to stir up trouble when we were dating. I thought we were finished with her antics when we moved away to go to college. Several years later we were married and our first child was about six months old and she called our home in the middle of the day looking for my husband, the best of my memory is I was home from work under the weather. I can't even imagine what she went through to find out his phone number at that time. I was cordial to her and when I hung up the phone I just shook my head. Of course, when he arrived home that night I just laughed letting him know his old GF had resurfaced trying to track him down. We have been together about 40 years now and another woman is not something I worry about.

The Orlando DMVs actually handed you your DLs right then and there. I had never been in a DMV like that before. I would call around and see if that is possible near you.

My last tetanus shot, a few months ago was so easy. I kept praising the pharmacist who gave it to me as I couldn't believe how painless it was as I swear I vividly remember each one I have had prior. My arm wasn't even sore after. This pharmacist has given me about 4 vaccines now and either he really knows what he is doing or is just giving me placebos.

I just have Apple TV and Apple Music. The Music is the family version as my children (grown) enjoy it also and then regular Apple TV. I have no use for games.

Our service dog organization uses golden retrievers, black labs, yellow labs and mixes of the same. They will often have a cross of a black lab and a golden retriever that looks like a black golden retriever. They are gorgeous to me.

Passport is worth the $$ to me. I have had it for a couple of years. When someone announced Season 4 premier was available, episode 1-3 were already available on Passport. Plenty of series I go back and rewatch over and over. I also subscribe to Acorn and Britbox.

I have a pair of leather Chacos that feel just as great as the regular Chacos and bonus, look very nice. You might want to check them out.

Thank you so much for letting us know. I must have missed there was a new season coming out.

'supposed' is the keyword there. Unfortunately, vocational rehab is a joke in most states. 1st hand knowledge here. My daughter started the process with them over 15 months ago and is considered a priority 1 case. I was also a provider in my prior life for vocational rehabilitation clients over ten years ago. In our state, individuals who had previously been incarcerated had the best chance of obtaining help through VR, although it was still slow as molasses and only if you happened to be assigned to a caseworker that cared, which was rare. Their main goal is to not spend a dime, not help.

We have used Hulu Live for about 8 years now. Honestly, I don't know what channels it has because we have other streaming services also and if we can't find something on one service, we look on another but I use Hulu about 80% of the time. If I am looking for a particular show, I use the app JustWatch, search for the show and it tells me which of my streaming services it is on.

Returned from Chile recently. No where I thought I would visit but ended up there anyway. It was a beautiful country with much to see. Was encouraged to visit Argentina on the same trip. My 'NOs' are Mexico, Brazil and a few other countries so I understand. LOVED our Alaskan cruise. Looking at Italy or Greece for next year.

Splurge for Supernatural. For you, for the kids. It is a fun workout app. I believe the yearly price dropped recently. I'm not really a video gamer but for my now adult son, when he was younger, I feel some of the story-type games (I can't think of the term right now to save my life), are great for logic building.
