quick question Chicagoistas -- when traveling on business in chicago, it is worth it to rent a car, or should i plan to taxi/public transport. I will be going to 2-3 places a day, mostly within the city
I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

Vortex, you should be fine with public transport and taxis. Chicago is a very walkable town.
I've only had black eyes when I got my nose broken for my nose job.

::joins the smonster snorgle:: My DH has a tournament in NC this weekend but it is nowhere near you! I have told him he must plan better in the future.
I've had one black eye in my life, from a 1st grade bully. I still hold that grudge.
Sox would like me to pass this on: ::wave:: She is presently trying to put books on the shelves of the new house, but is frustrated by the fact that she cannot get James Joyce and Dorothy Parker on the same shelf "so they can annoy each other for ever."

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Meep. Just finished writing a lease for Joe and I to sign! The end (of living with my parents) is nigh!

It's funny - we have received a lot of furnishings and what not from people clearing out their houses, but we have NONE of the stupid shit. Like plates and bath towels.
Luckily, Kohl's is having their HUGE home clearance this weekend.

Damn I hate that I need to leave this job. My boss is so freaking cool. I have to go to New Orleans at the end of the month to train my counterpart there. Boss switched it to Thurs and Fri instead of Tues and Wed. and when I told her that if the flight was cheaper with a Saturday stay, I'd like to fly out Sunday and spend the weekend with my cousin and the cherub. Her email back? She'd already thought I'd like to see my family and scheduled it that way.

We're going to go with the Victorian. We might actually end up getting "sweat equity" in the form of a security deposit. Meaning, Joe and I do a lot of the work removing the wallpaper and painting and patching in exchange for Boss paying our security deposit.
