If you are not common with the term, a “catfish” is when you get tricked by someone online, i knew what it was, because there is a whole cable show about it, even though I never thought it would happen to me. I met a pretty man named Eddy on Facebook. She was witty and smart and the two of us had so much in common! Plus he was drop-dead gorgeous; We talked a lot, and finally I figured out where he lived so I decided to surprise his with a little visit; This whole time I saw no green flags, and honestly believed that Eddy was the like of our life. I booked a flight to the southern end of IL and rented a car. I drove to the small IL town where he lived, and showed up on his front door. This is when I l acquired that Eddy wasn’t a cute farmgirl from IL, however a rugged 55 year old man named Ed! Not only was our heart broken, however now I was out in the middle of rural IL with no place to go and nothing to do. The only lucky cut I got was that cannabis had recently been legalized in IL, so I found the nearest dispensary and loaded up on weed. The cannabis helped calm our nerves and relax me. Since I was already in IL I decided to make the most of it. It took a few hours worth of driving, however eventually I got to 1 of the biggest towns in IL, where I found a wide selection of bars, pizzerias, museums, and cannabis dispensaries.
