Think of it as tofu bacon wrapped around tofu cheese!

He lives in Virgina and roots for Chicago teams, what you going to do?!?

 

[Twin Dad]

I'd just pop two cholesterol pills when I was done.

As a coworker once explained, "I wasn't born in the South, but I got here as fast as I could."

But I still hold on to my Chicago roots when it comes to sports and pizza.

 

[FreezinRafiki]

Maybe I'm alone on this, but that looks nasty.

Sheesh. Bears fans.

Yep. All that cheese is ruining the bacon.

OH NO YOU DIDN'T!!!

Well, I hate to reference another thread, but I think this is a pretty big step away from Team Barry and towards the winning team. Congratulations.

Yeah, I thought about that. It's just that unless they're sitting on top of a big ol' burger, I don't see the need to put those two things together. Also, Barry is a finely tuned, world class athlete. There's no way he'd eat that until after the race. No need to switch to the dark side.

Hey all.

Had a scare with DS over the weekend. Everything seems to be fine now, but saturday morning he woke with what appeared to be bug bites all over his tummy and his legs. We treated as such with some anti-itch cream, and went to work cleaning his bedding, mattress, and room to try and find whatever got at him during his sleep.

The next morning, he was covered from head to toe in the same bite-like marks, and his hands, feet, and face were all swollen. Pediatrician was not open, so we took him to the ER, concerned about the possibility that the swelling could spread.

At the ER, we're told it's most likely an allergic reaction to Augmentin, the antibiotic he was on for an ear infection. There's no way to be sure that this is the cause, but we've stopped giving it to him and the reaction seems to be lessening in severity over the last couple of days.

It's just so frustrating to not be able to do more to help him deal with the pain and discomfort he is going through. Hopefully he is feeling better sooner rather than later.

In other news, work is good, and DW and DD are doing okay. Halloween approaches, and I've yet to get the decorations out. Maybe this upcoming weekend??

Glad to hear he is on the mend. If it is hives a cool shower or cool compress on the most itchy areas works for me. I get hives from pollen and environmental "stuff".

Well...tomorrow is the day of the alledged pest-controll visit, and I've busted my butt over the past 5 days to get ready....and fell short
.

Basicly got it all done, and went to do the kitchen, they basicly wanted it emptied right out. Ummm...as I got into it I realized there is NO WAY to do that. I'd have needed the 5 days to figure where the hell to put everything. I gave up a couple of hours ago and put things back where they belong, with the sole exception of the cutlery drawer, too noisy a job. Still got rid of a ton of stuff, old glasses, mugs etc, mostly stuff we've never used in the past 12 years now. Found McDonalds etc Branded Mickey and Disney Movie glasses in the "cupboard of unaccessabilty" in perfect shape.

Still got this "I failed" feeling about me, I stressed and sacrificed all weekend, for nothing, other then got this place the purge and cleaning it's needed for a year now. Been ill half of it and got little sleep. My best wasn't quite good enough.

On the other hand, the place is in beautiful shape now, but not really sure how much good the pest contoll will be, most of our neighbors are refusing service, so what will it accomplish? See what they do, I never handed in the permission form.

I hope, I really hope that in a month or so, the point will be moot, because I'll be looking for a new place. I need to get out of this building, and this city for that matter. Yes, I am firm on putting in for manager's position.....see what happens.

Thanks for the latest venting. After tomorrow I might starrt feeling better as it is put behind me and I move forward.

Yikes! Hopefully the little guy will be okay....what a frustrating time not knowing what will do more harm then good. Prayers for a speedy recovery.

Did your best, that's all you can do. Hope the job works out for you, sounds like a change is in order. I got out of the city 15 years ago and never looked back. The only time I go down to the city is to visit my mom who still lives in the same house I grew up in.

Hey all.

I've been a bit busy lately with work, and work after work, and house work, and Skyrim work. So I haven't had too much time to post.

In any case, I don't do this often, but if you guys could send prayers our way, it would be greatly appreciated.

DW and I went in for a check-up on Saturday and everything with the twins was normal, but Soon Ae's blood sugar level was pretty high. She went in again today for some more blood work. I just got off the phone with her and it wasn't any better. So tomorrow (Thursday), she has to go to a normal hospital (we've been going to a women's hospital for all of our check ups) and spend four days there. I don't know any more than that right now, I was only on the phone with her for a couple minutes.

Thanks in advance.

Prayers for you and your wife.

In your opinion, where would one find the best pizza in Chicago?


As a pizza lover, this would be helpful for my next trip there.

Gino's East is kind of a touristy spot but it's still worth a trip if you don't mind eating pizza with a knife and fork. One piece of pizza can fill you up.

But my favorite is outside the city. Aurelio's is a chain now, but I worked at the original restaurant in Homewood, Illinois in high school before they started to franchise. I got to go there last year for the first time in 20 years and I literally almost cried. My wife has pictures. Hands down my favorite place to eat on earth or any other planet.

True!!!



Funny you say that, the room across from us at WL had the cover pop off while we were there, and I thought it was odd. Guess it wasn't a one time occurrence.

Didn't notice that problem on #2, but I never use a lanyard, so I was always pulling the card out (which really didn't save much time from the old method). I guess this will really be nice when/if they implement the wristbands, as you can just tap it that way...

had the same problem with this one at okw last month. i thought i just broke the thing. now i dont feel so bad.

Thanks again for thinking of our little guy this morning.

Wanted to follow up and let you know that this morning he's in better spirits (currently NOT taking his nap.) The majority of the rash is no longer red, having darkened to look more like bruises which are now fading. There are still some red areas but they don't look new. He still has some itching and swelling. Hopefully this means we're over the hump and he'll be more himself with slight discomfort here and there as it continues to heal as opposed to being mostly uncomfortable like he was this weekend.

glad hes feeling a little better.
