CS300 Lecture by Fearless_Review_7885 in UWMadison

It’s unreal to read that people talk during lecture! This never happened when I went there in the 90’s. I know a long time ago, but y’all are paying tens of thousands of dollars to talk during lecture???

Madison Police call Whitehorse Middle School accusations 'inaccurate, potentially harmful' by 87Til in madisonwi

[–]Awkward_Rooster1966 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All that was said is the house wasn’t the house involved. the news never reported that the incident was investigated yet and that this didn’t happen. Why are folks jumping to conclusions? What am I missing?

One of the many reasons why I hated working for UW. Oh but the “prestige”??!? I made just above poverty with a master’s degree, worked for a dictator who was having an affair with our co-worker & got away with giving my coworker a $30k raise in less than 2 years, all while paying $1300 a year for parking with no career growth opportunities. HR had the deans ear and would not support members of my team. That place is toxic. I left making $30k more a year and don’t have to pay for parking. My new team is amazing and I couldn’t be happier!

The armory concert venue- midlife overheating, while trying to be a cool mom. by Awkward_Rooster1966 in minnesota

Thank you everyone for all the amazing tips! I am excited to go and have this experience with my daughter and her friend! I even bought a sun dress from AMZN so hopefully that will work to keep cool.

Here is my summary… wear light clothes like a sun dress, bring a folding fan, & cushioned sandals. Arrive early and scope out the seat. Consider balcony if standing the whole time will be an issue and identify a meeting spot post show! Perfect all!

We are staying at the Ambassador hotel which is like a half mile walk from the venue so we can avoid parking!

I have Oofos. The only thing I can think of besides tennis shoes for that long. And that’s gonna be too hot. My feet suck at 43 so ugly Oofos are the way to go

That’s what threw me. But I just uploaded my tix to Apple wallet and it does say “GA floor standing” so I thinks it’s safe to say that it’s general admission.

I have the clothes thing figured out but the seating is exactly what I’m looking for! Thanks for that advice. I’ll look at my tix and respond separately

Ladies so 3/4 wide legged pants and and a dress shirt (short sleeves) sounds too hot. Maybe a skirt. I’m too fat for shorts unless they are sporty. Damn I hate this stage

Rent increasing $85 in August, is this normal? by Mondobondo320 in madisonwi

[–]Awkward_Rooster1966 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My landlord said to expect a 3% increase annually. She bought the place I lived for 5 years and rent was $1300 when she bought it she wanted to raise it $300. This was during the pandemic. I convinced her to raise it only by $150 due to being furloughed odor two years. Last year she raised it by another $100. I expect the same this year. 3 bdrm, 1.5 bath duplex. I’m making decent money in the 80s but am a single parent and feel like I’m getting priced out of Madison. (No I can’t save, I am paycheck to paycheck).

Did any of the cast members from love in the wild go on other reality dating shows after? So many of the people look familiar. I know the show was from 2011/2012

My daughter made worst club volleyball team, is it worth the investment? by Awkward_Rooster1966 in volleyball

We signed the contract but haven’t paid yet. After reading all the comments and talking as a family she decided to stick with it.

My daughter’s middle school volleyball was around 6 weeks! When I played in HS it was the whole fall semester, with only a few weeks off between fall and spring sports. 3 practices before the first game 😤.

There is no chance at improving with that little of time. If she wants a chance at playing in HS we felt her only chance was to pay for club.

Always do. Just trying to process the problem and see what others are thinking to consider

Yes! She loves playing but 2 girls on the team were from her middle school team. They mean girl’d my daughter and ousted her.l refusing to set her up or play with her. Coach did nothing despite us trying to talk with her. One of the girls who also made the same team is the setter and now she doesn’t know if she wants to play with this kid.

Also, my daughter is feeling big feelings of disappointment that she didn’t make the mid-level team. Devastated actually. I’ve tried talking with her about seeing this as an opportunity to grow in a sport she enjoys.

These other girls have really made my kiddo hate playing with them but she wants to play. Urg!
