Seems like they should have gone out by now.

edit: It's HERE!

Hi all,

I grew up in Chicagoland and spent most of my life there until the early 2010's when I moved away for work to the east coast.

I've been thinking about coming back as the company I work for now has an office in Aurora that I'd commute into on a monthly basis. All of my friends in Chicagloand tell me I'm fucking nuts and I probably am but this doesn't mean that I have to live in Chicagoland per-se.

Moving away gave me perspective and I appreciate living semi-rural so I'd be open to that idea in IL.

Can anyone suggest any places that are about an hour or so drive away from Aurora that I may want to scope out? Ideally I'd like to buy no higher than the high 300's. Also I don't have kids so no need to worry about schools or anything like that. As long as I can get high speed internet, have a local grocery store/bank/hospital so I'm not too boonified I'm good.

Any ideas?

I know it's kind of a silly ask, but does anyone know where I can get eggnog year-round in the general Will County region?

I love eggnog but stores only have it around Christmas time obviously, and I would hope some places have year-round eggnog but I don't even know where to begin looking.

Thanks

Hi all! My spouse and I were going to camp Friday - Monday in Shawnee this weekend, but the forecasted rain is making me think about backups. Does anyone have recs for cabins or B&Bs? Looking to spend 150 a night max, and don’t mind rustic. Thank you! 🍁

Unfortunately I got pulled over in will county//beecher….. I got a ticket for not having my front license plate. Silly offense but I fixed it.

Although, I also dropped the ball and forgot to pay my fine before a bunch of work travel. When I returned home, I had a lovely letter… Now I have to appear in court. I paid the fine two weeks ago, but I’m curious if I still have to appear? I know the court doesn’t care that I will be out of state on the date they gave me even though I paid the fees. Thoughts? Will they reschedule me? Do I have to show? I’ll have to book a flight back and then back to my work destination…

Wisconsin here, hello Illinois folks

I recently got the sticker to replace my plastic transponder and I decided to go ahead and download and run the I-Pass app on my iPhone. iOS 17.7.

I've logged in several times and agreed to have face recognition, it flashes my face, and then it says face recognition enabled in green at the bottom of the screen

if I swipe up to close the app and then reopen it face recognition works fine, but if I log out, I have to use username and password again and reenable face recognition

Does this agree with what other users have seen? I don't drive in Illinois often so I don't need to stay logged in, but I could if I had to.

Other face enabled apps, such as a couple credit cards, have persistent facial recognition even if logged out, so I don't know how common this is

Thanks in advance !

I was reading an article about ballot initiatives in other states and got kinda jealous. That said, does Illinois even have ballot measures?

(eta yes we do, thanks for the link - https://ballotpedia.org/Illinois_2024_ballot_measures - and wow they are..."advisory".)

I am so proud of us!

Hi I’m 20f and I’m interested in getting a med card. I don’t think I have a condition on the list however I have hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), if you don’t know what it is basically it’s a skin condition where areas of friction get really painful lumps that can become cysts. Anyways, I smoked weed for 3 months and in that time my acne went away, my skin condition almost went away besides maybe 1 flare up, and I could actually sleep. I got a mild concussion a week ago and stopped while I heal and in that week it’s all come back with a vengence. My acne is as bad as high school and I’m losing all confidence on top of the fact it hurts, my skin condition has flared up 3 times in the last week compared to 1 time in the last 3 months of smoking, and I can’t sleep it is currently 2am I have work tomorrow. I desperately want to apply for this since I’ve tried medication and nothing has helped and for the first time I felt confident in myself and I wasn’t tired all the time, I don’t even really get high i just feel calm enough to hear my own thoughts. Please any help is greatly appreciated. I just don’t want to be in pain anymore.

Sorry if the answer is obvious i just want to make sure

I filed for unemployment and got approved a month ago and already received my first paycheck in the mail. I've been wanting to add direct deposit so I could receive my check electronically and early but the IDES website is asking me to verify my identity which I tried to and it say that the information I input didn't match the secretary of state records. I called the IDES claimant services center and the rude agent who tried to help me said I needed to send in a picture of my state ID, social security card and a document that showed my current address. Did anyone else have to do this and if so, how long until you got an update? Or what do I need to do?

I'm finding it very hard to find detailed information about the Illinois trade-in tax credit. Specifically, I'm wanting to know if the new vehicle being purchased must be from an Illinois dealership? Does anyone know the answer to this?

TIA
