What is the quietest/calmest wooded area that is closest to Chicago?

I have a car, but don't want to drive into the deep suburbs every time I want quiet time in a wooded area.

I would love somewhere that isn't so loud that you can hear the regular whooshing of busy roads. Would love suggestions! Thanks :)

Anyone foraging materials in the Midwest? If so, what are you using?

I'm not sure WHAT materials are bountiful enough to forage in the Midwest.

Willows are not very common outside of private property, and the only vines I can think of off the top of my head are ivy (could it work?) and sweet potato. People always say pine needles, but they always seem so short compared to what I am seeing people online use!

Can I use a mix? Help a beginner out! Thanks :)

Anyone get HM at the same time every day?

Anyone else? For me, it's always around 5pm, and I just can not clock why.

If it happens to you, have you figured out why?

Would love some insight!

Searching for the most beautiful cliffside, accessible from Westport

Looking to sit at a beautiful cliffside near Westport that I can get to and from in one day.

I will have one full day of leisure in Westport, and I want to spend a good piece of it sitting by a cliff side. Biking to it via a rental would be nice, but I'd also be willing to get a quick ride somewhere if it's worth it. Any local coasts/peaks/cliff spots would be great!

To CPS Teachers: Taleo Site and File Limit?

How do you mitigate the 5 file max on CPSs Taleo??

The Taleo site only lets us upload 5 files at once. That means we can only apply for 3, maybe 4 jobs at once if you have a resume uploaded, CVs, and maybe a letter of rec.

Is it appropriate in this situation to upload a general CV? I really hate that idea, but with jobs FINALLY starting to post I can't think of an alternative

Do any of you receive SNAP? Need advice

What does that look like for you? I used to get SNAP for the past 2 years as a sub, but now my paycheck is saying I make 60k annually (yeah right, I WISH) and I'm suddenly being denied for benefits.

Anyone else have an issue with submitting paystubs?

I am scared that this next treatment will make my already bad headspace worse

I'm still new to this: I went from doing treatment for 3 weeks 2 times a week, to a full month of no Spravato (I was working out of town, my provider said it'd be fine).

Long story short, I got into a terrible and suicidal mindset when I was out, my health has gotten worse (and worsens after spravato treatments). I start treatment again tomorrow and I am worried about feeling worse after this treatment.

Any insight? Thank you.

ALL of my eggs are in the botox basket

I NEED this to work. I am counting the days. I am clutching a pocketwatch. I have never needed something to work more than I do this. Words cannot begin to describe what I have went through to get to this point.

Encouragement, words of advice, wisdom, caution, please give me hope or humble me.

Don't DO this to me Metoclopramide!!!

I don't get very nauseous through migraines but I was willing to try this new abortive.

It made me feel TERRIBLE for like 20 minutes: salivating, drunken, faint, slurring, it was terrible. Migraine sensitivities got SO bad, I had to immediately curl up less I vomit or pass out.

And now my migraine is fine??? I think I'm out of my hellish 4 day migraine????

Is this shit worth it???? Anyone have any experience with this, does it get better?? (since were only prescribed to take it infrequently and as needed)
