I love Chicago but I haven't come there. I think you can search some websites to have information you want.

How can you love Chicago if you've never been there? I am so confused...

She didn't say she hadn't been there, but rather she hadn't come there...

Personally, I think that is TMI for these fora.

Look above to my comment above on self-pleasuring...

Obviously, she's not doing it right.

Or perhaps it's her partner who's not doing it right. 

Well, having a partner would explain why the Hiding Place is overrun with kittens.

Wait... aren't you allergic to kittens? I hope you aren't doing anything vindictive to eradicate the kitten population...

Gosh, I never thought of that.  Brilliant!  It's a win-win situation!

How does somebody masturbate vindictively?

OK, I'm sorry I asked.

Oooh, so maybe the sole purpose of Ceiling Cat's existence is to stare so that kitten killing become impossible, thus preserving his species?!

How did my innocent little question about eating in Chicago degenerate into this?

Yeah, I realize she said she hadn't 'come there,' but I was trying to ignore that.

See?  Even some newbies spammers are thinking of "lubrication" here.

What I'm really ashamed about is that it took me like 4 months to figure out how to embed links and the spammer knew right away...

There is "equipments" that does lubrication? This is fairly horrifying in the given context.

Your mind's been elsewhere.  The spammers have nothing to do but think about sex embedding links.

Well, maybe we can put this wayward thread to rest now. My companion was broadsided on his way to the station to meet me. Car totaled, broken rib, stitches in the face (no airbag). So, no friend, no dinner, just me alone in one of the most historic and fancy hotels on the planet. I did give a well-received talk, though, so there's that.

Will it be too sad if I eat in the hotel restaurant by myself? It looks very nice - though I've been eating salads here, not much in the way of veggie or vegan choices as far as catering for our meeting meals. Maybe the restaurant is different. I'm starving. Just get me back to the cornfields.   

OK, one last thing - on the train up here, I sat behind 4 Amish guys in full, white-bearded Amish glory. An older gentleman, who had been talking up a storm in the station, obviously hadn't annoyed enough people and was walking through the train coach. He comes to the Amish guys and starts talking (of course. I'm a quiet kinda gal, when people are in public they should just shut up, but I digress). Turns out he's a retired Lutheran minister. All the Amish guys nod and go, "Oh!" sounding very excited and impressed. Well, the Rev Mr Nonstoptalker talks about having ministered in Minnesota and starts telling an Ole and Lena joke (you gotta look it up if you don't know what they are). For the next 4 hrs the Rev comes back every now and then and tells another Ole and Lena joke. The Amish laugh like these are the funniest jokes they've ever heard (ok, they were kinda funny). I thought I was in 1950's.

That's not so bad—the Amish think they're in the 1850s.

Ugh.  Sorry to hear that, PnP.  Hope your friend heals quickly.
