Bishopp007:^^^^^^ ^^^^^^ It is not worth running from the law... better to get your status regularised in the U.S. or try out Canada. By the way... how are you dealing with the crime level in Chitown? All the best! |
Re: Weclome to Chicagoland by Bishopp007: 12:14am On Feb 19, 2018 |
Konquest: You don't need to run from law! You just have to find your square root once you are out of status. Asking me about crime level in Chicago is like asking someone living and working in Lagos how they are dealing with Boko Haram. Cheers! 16 Likes |

Live Football Headache Cost of watching live football can be killing sometimes if you don't have enough income for round leather game lovers. You need to pay about $120 - $160 a month for both home internet and all soccer channels package. You need to wake up as early as 6:30am to watch early EPL kick off. I have no option than to watch Champions League on my phone in the office because of time diff But watching HD broadcast on 4k Ultra HD TV is one of the best experience 7 Likes |

MsNgo40:^^^^^^ ^^^^^^ I'm doing great Ngo! Minnesota is "cut-throat" in winter season as you said... Was in Minnesota on a visit to Minneapolis/Chanhassen ... but it's a lovely place to be... "sans winter." Chicago too is a great place to be in. You take charge! P.S. "PM" moi with your other mailing option.
