Photo: The Strategist; Photo: Laura Fitzelle Instead of paying rent, I use a backpack . I mean, I pay rent too, but it’s $1,000 a month to live with three roommates. In 2019 I tweeted, “Please G*d, Please don’t let me be a 30-year-old with roommates.” I am 30 and a half years old, and I hear sex noises that aren’t my own when I go to sleep at night, and I think about this tweet all of the time. I don’t have my own bathroom. I tell some of the boys I’m seeing that I do, but I do not. I am never honest with the people I am seeing about my living situation. Recently, after I finished seeing a guy who had 3 other girlfriends, I started seeing another guy. This one just had one girlfriend. I thought: must be love. The thing about being a mistress, especially a mistress who lives with three roommates, is that it helps to have all of your belongings with you at all times. This period — my mistressing hour — is when I started my resurgence back into backpack territory. The first … [Read more...] about My Backpacks, My Boyfriends

Home Prices In Romeoville Area Increased In Past Year: See How Much
Sponsored By 0 Real Estate Home prices are expected to stay elevated for the near future. They have increased in Will County area. Local Data , Patch Staff Posted Reply ROMEOVILLE, IL — Higher home prices are here to stay, at least for the next couple of years, experts say. The coronavirus pandemic helped push home prices higher, but it isn’t the only factor responsible for the market shift. The number of homes listed for sale is at a historic low, meaning that supply is tight. Meanwhile, demand has increased because of historically low mortgage interest rates and because a large contingent of millennials is looking to buy their first homes. Home prices in the Chicago-Naperville-Arlington Heights IL Metropolitan Division, which includes Will County, were up 7.5 percent for January 2021 compared with January 2020, according to the CoreLogic Case-Shiller Index, an oft-quoted measure of price … [Read more...] about Home Prices In Romeoville Area Increased In Past Year: See How Much
Potential Tequila Shortage Blamed On Extreme Dryness
Extreme weather across Mexico over the last several years may threaten crop production for agave, the main ingredient in tequila, according to a Monday report. “At a time when large agave crops are needed to meet demand, the extreme weather in Mexico is increasing the problems and the potential for scarcity of the product,” Everstream Analytics chief meteorologist Jon Davis told the New York Post. Tequila is derived from the harvested agave sap, which produces pulque, the core ingredient in tequila/mezcal. Mexico experienced far below what is considered normal precipitation throughout the first three months of 2023, the New York Post noted. “Precipitation totals across much of the country have been less than 25% of normal with large sections having totals less than 10% and 5% of normal,” Davis continued. Baja, California, has managed to escape much of the nation’s dryness, but the region is not known for agave production.
