lol dirk. Check out where I live though. It might not be as you think.
amsco Who has not been to cicero?
I certainly have not. I went to Burbank maybe 30 years ago.
There is untold wealth in the north shore suburbs, for sureâŚI know, Iâve helped build schools from Bannockburn (Michael Jordanâs kids went to school there) to Morton East in Cicero and everywhere in between.
You build schools? That is interesting.
You say cicero is wealthy? I had no clue. I thought it was impoverished.
Yes, Jordans kids would certainly have gone to school in Bannockburn.
His old digs are actually in Highland Park. Most people think it is Deerfield.
Mettawa has to take the cake though. I am not bragging. I would love to be rid of it. It just so happens. It is because so many expensive homes are packed into such a tiny town. If it were a larger town it would not be so noteworthy. It is not even really the north shore. It is way west. Not nearly as far as Barrington though.
Speaking of which. Donât even forget ST. Charles, Barrington, Naperville ETC. It is not just the north shore. In fact Barrington currently has the most expensive home listed.
However all the way from Kenilworth to Lake Bluff it is just one after another.
Never said Cicero is wealthyâŚnopeâŚsolid ethnic Hispanic working class, a tough town but not that tough.
Not gonna be inimidated by âjustâ Cicero haha. I dare any of you to join me at the 1-11-14 (worst area of Buenos Aires, Argentina) for a visit

What is 1-11-14?
You know, I guess I actually am stupid.
I lied about my credentials because I was ashamed that I inherited money. Really though there is plenty of stuff I do not know. I am trying to be much more honest here now.
Trust me I think Chicago is bad enough? Already today 19 people killed including an 8 year old kid.
I suppose Argentina is even worse.
How about Sinaloa Mexico?
I will be honest though. I live a sheltered life. You do not need a ton of money for that I donât think. I think you could avoid crime on $30K a year. Or maybe even half that.
I certainly am not looking for trouble.
Cicero is not even that bad. My friends Mexican girlfriend and eventually wife lived there and because he knew people and spoke Spanish he never had any issue. Even leaving many times at 4AM. I think if you mind your own business crime usually will not find you. He carried a heater just in case. BTW they are still married 60 years later.

I have no idea what you have @2chan4ever You could deliver Papa Johnâs pizzas as far as I know⌠
I donât get what you mean? No one knows anything about anyone on the internet. Either you believe them or you donât. They caught me in a lie because I was honestly ashamed that I had inherited money. I really struggle with that. I feel that I did not deserve it. I never worked. I went to college but big whoop. School is easy, working is not. Obviously you can see why I am ashamed. If you choose to believe me. Paul can tell you what I have purchased from PS Audio alone. That is no small number in itself.
It is perfectly fine if you choose not to believe me. I am okay with that. I mean, why should you? You have no idea who I am. Here I am saying I have all this money and no proof. I completely understand your position. BTW, We have a cook staff and I love Papa johns! I hardly eat anything they cook me. I go to burger king, Taco bell with my Driver. I love junk food. I really am ânot too goodâ. I am more like the rest of you than you imagine. Actually if I was much younger and I did it again I would love to deliver Papa johns. At least that is respectable. Instead of just get my money for nothing.

Sorry guys, just jetted in from my private island lair in the Indian Ocean. Had a little trouble with a minor volcanic eruption, glad to be back.
What did I miss?

Okay, you guys are mocking me. I actually am laughing with you. I deserve it. You do not know me from anyone. I would honestly be very skeptical too. Who cares how much money I have. I am happy with my stereo equipment and that is all that this forum is about.
I really do love Papa Johns though. I think I will order some right now in fact. Speaking of which, did you ever see Papa john Schnatters home? It bests even mine. It is a sight to behold. Google it. You cannot deny he is rich. there is proof. However there is controversy. He pays his employees very poorly. I give an outstanding tip. They love to come here. Sometimes they even slip me in a free pizza.

Oh yes! That Papa Johnâs hit the spot! I do not like cheap meat so I got all the veggies.
The guy with the wrist is very nice. He will ship it tomorrow and I should have it Wednesday. He included overnight for free. Good guy. Well, it was much more than it was new because you canât get it anymore but at least he was cool. It was not like it was a fortune or anything. At least just my day was ruined and not years to come.
Another unfortunate thing. I had to plug a power strip into the PP20 but it is at least a very high end Audiophile one.
i came here for mousepad recommendations but i have been rewarded with so much more than that

âVilla 1-11-14â is our answer to the favelas in Brazil, or the worst poblaciones in Chile, or the worst parts in the state of Sinaloa in Mexico as you pointed out.
Bad, really bad stuff, ultra dangerous, and a place that has become a ghetto for certain communities from Paraguay, Peru and Bolivia to run the drug dealing in here 
I know how you feel! I HATE it that even the companies who donât go under, STOP making the same things that you once loved.
I had a Diesel/Ducatti branded sweater that I LOVED, fit me like a glove, was comfortable, perfect temp, not too hot or cold, and I literally wore it all the time! On a trip to LA, moved hotels and I LEFT it in the closet of the first hotel⌠was so upset, DROVE from Anaheim back to Burbank to pick it up again but the hotel staff âclaimedâ it wasnât found! Really pissed me off. Diesel doesnât make the same sweater anymore, itâs so old fashioned, being a 2015 style! 
and anything else I tried, isnât the same!

Having worked in the disaster planning part of IT one way or another (high availability and all that) I have a habit of buying a second backup of anything I buy that I value. Recently tried to buy a backup Behringer SRC/upsampler and waited a month too long. Discontinued
Found one on eBay (at higher cost than new - a lot of folks want them!) And Iâm now looking out for more. There are a few on there but most are pretty battered. Bah!
Itâs also the same with trousers that baggy fit me - they all seem to be skinny fit!!
