Women

If you happen to be an Illinois farm woman, this is likely something you already know.

I do not tell my wife what to do as that would not end well. However, there is a weird Missouri law that does tell women what to do and I'm pretty sure that most of the females I know in the state would not be pleased.

I cannot imagine how much sadness and depression this one Illinois place contained when it was active. Urban explorers shared one last look inside a former women's prison in Illinois that sat vacant for 12 years and has now been destroyed forever.

Sometimes you learn things then later wish you hadn't. This is one of those for me, but it's important to get the issue out in the open so hopefully it can be dealt with and we find a way to stop it from happening in the future. Illinois has a shameful surge of rape cases that make it one of the primary problem places in America.

"I remember being in my car when the number for the clinic showed up on my phone and my heart sank. I knew I had to go back."

This latest grocery store robbery in Illinois proves you can't stereotype type thieves and what they will take the risk to steal during a heist.

Now I feel like I need to go to Target...just to walk around and see how many guys are in there shopping (and obviously look at the clearance).

In an industry dominated by men, it's excellent to see a restaurant fronted by a female chef called one of the greatest restaurants in America.

Dear Karens of Illinois, it looks like we all owe you an apology.

Your wife may not be Mary Poppins, but I can guarantee she's got A LOT of stuff in her purse.
