I don’t currently own any binoculars, is it worth getting ahead of my trip? I also don’t know anything about binoculars, is there anything specific you would recommend, ideally on Amazon? I’d like them to be useful to a 5-year old girl, so preferably not super heavy.
Budget is around $200 max.

Looking for fun low key games close to downtown. Ideally pick up game but wouldn’t mind signing up for a league. What app would you recommend? I know there’s several (Plei, Good Rec etc) but the games I saw were both higher level, and far (north) from me.

I am planning a trip in mid July. Do I need any tick repellant (or other insects), is there anything natural/herbal that you recommend?

I am looking for speech therapist recommendations close to downtown, for a 5-year old child. Bonus points if she can work in Russian, but not a strict requirement.

My daughter had one visit her at her daycare and made barely any progress in 9 months. Then we found a really good one, but she’s in Arlington Heights and that’s over 2 hours of driving for a round trip.

Please let me know if you know anyone, or advice how to find!

I will be staying at Canyon Lodge. I am trying to use google maps to find some restaurants nearby, but I haven't been able to find anything decent. What do you recommend?

I want to upgrade to whole beans and grind them myself. I live in USA, so ideally something available in Amazon. Ideally, I want it to support moka, pour over (filter) and Turkish coffee levels of granularity.

I am currently taking both topical and oral finasteride, had a hair transplant 9 months ago. So of course I want to protect the results of this investment, having traveled across the globe and paid over 10k to get it.
But I am also intending to conceive with my partner, so to minimize risks, I am thinking to go off finasteride for about 3-6 months, while staying on minoxidil pill.

What are the pros and cons here, do you guys think it’s a good idea to stop it? Or should I maybe just reduce the dose to 2 pills a week or something?

I’d rather get rid of the topical because the cross contamination risk is higher. My pills are 1 mg and I take them every day.

My concern is two fold: Sperm quality as well as finasteride entering my partner through the semen.

Any advice and experience is greatly appreciated!

The anti insect mesh (net) on my screen door got ripped by strong winds, and I want to replace it on my own. My building said they would charge me $80 for material and $80/hour for labor, which seemed crazy. I found some videos on YouTube, but they all seem to be using spline, which mine doesn’t have. Do I need to buy glue, or how do I put the new mesh into place?

Please feel free to suggest concrete Amazon products, both in terms of net and tools.
