So a potential solution could be:

  • add my Apple ID email for iMessages to existing group iMessages so they can continue to go through as iMessages on iPhone at home
  • tell people to call, not text me, because it will go through as SMS (and I won’t respond lol)
  • deal with the text SMSs as they come in, try to iMessage back later with my email

Does that sound like it would work? It’s mostly the group iMessages that I would like to be able to see on my iPhone at home. All other texts can get lost!

I hope this just isn’t crazy annoying to others. I know it means they’ll text me less but that’s kinda the point

I’m waiting for my connection at O’Hare and keep thinking about the fact that (when the yellow line is running) I live in a crazy nice area (Penn Quarter along the mall—not technically Chinatown) and can get from my apartment door to my gate in less than 30 minutes using public transportation for $1. I don’t know of any other major cities where you can do that.

Plus, I like the think the noise pollution is less because of its location between the highway and the water plus the major flight path being over the river. The residences the planes otherwise fly over already have city noise pollution so I like to think it’s not crazy disruptive to some quiet suburbs. (You can reply and prove me wrong).

Will miss it when I move.
