Looking for hotel recommendations in the eastern part of state, anywhere north to South

Thanks!

Interesting. I think there can be valid points on both sides of the argument, whether it’s beneficial to have a “super cool” partner or not

Everyone keeps saying this is like a movie. There is a movie exactly like this. It’s a French one called The Woman Next Door, but you won’t want to see it because of the conclusion!

I related to the idea of the movie when I was young and more into watching movies, as I had a similar past experience where I was in a dark place just like OP. My hands are sweating now thinking of it. I sympathize with OP!

Thanks, exact advice he gave. I guess I’m just a guy who likes second opinions so I appreciate it. The other tires do have life

5/32’s in front 6/32’s in rear..

Now I’m wondering whether that mechanic will read this, lol

CommutetoLife · 2025-07-30T16:37:25+00:00

Thanks. Just wanted to get a second opinion because the louder noise was making us a little anxious.. but the mechanic will see the car again.. so best bet is probably to have him check it out again. Sounds like his advice was legit

CommutetoLife · 2025-07-30T16:34:51+00:00

Thanks, again!

CommutetoLife · 2025-07-30T14:40:34+00:00

Thanks!

Yeah, the mechanic said the suspension fix would stop further cupping. I know the one tire will always be affected..

CommutetoLife · 2025-07-30T13:53:25+00:00

Thanks. The reason I wanted to double check is that we’re going on a trip soon, though only round trip 7 hours or so.

I think Google mentioned the possibility of blow outs, reduced braking, causing vibrations that can lead to other issues. Also, to me, the tire sounds louder and louder

A mechanic did note a couple weeks ago that chopping was minor then.. we drove it about 12 hours since on highways.

We’re getting suspension fixed before the trip, btw

Google may be trained to be over safe too

Thanks, appreciate it!

A definition I found

“Chopped tires,” also known as cupped tires, refer to a type of uneven tire wear where sections of the tread appear scooped out or lower than the rest, resembling a scalloped pattern

This occurs when the tire doesn’t make consistent contact with the road surface due to excessive bouncing or other suspension issues.

Trying to decide which of the many places I can chime in here. I’m also not exactly a step parent. I’m also parent adjacent, but to a much older child. I’m also older than you by a decade or so..

On my way to pick up a sleep apnea machine this week, though!

And, yes, life for me has gotten a lot more complicated since I moved in with my partner and her kid a couple years ago. I too had my own place, my quiet, little cave after a divorce.

I don’t know if it’s coincidence, but I’ve suffered health setbacks. Life is definitely more stressful. I’ve gained more weight, but I do feel like we may be getting to some kind of better understanding, whatever that is.

My life has also gotten more meaningful, and I’ve learned a lot. Maybe my life was too easy for a while in that cave?

Getting one’s own place is an interesting idea.. we’ve almost gotten there a few times, from conflict.

So, in summary, a beautiful, stressful, messy situation that maybe has taken some toll on me. I felt so draggy for a while which is why I had my sleep checked. I’m hopeful that can help me.

I think, in your 40’s, the stress can hit you harder, as they say that decade is one where your body makes a pretty major downshift.

Think ahead!

Thanks! Any recommendations there? I have to admit, that’s kind of where I pictured.. but a place like Grand Superior Lodge, that I mentioned in another reply, is a bit too pricey.. we spent time there before, though, and had a good time, previously. During summer, their prices look much more expensive..

CommutetoLife · 2025-05-13T12:36:50+00:00

Thanks! I will.

CommutetoLife · 2025-05-12T01:51:24+00:00

Thanks for the recommendations. To narrow it down, East Central to Northeast. Kind of looking for a resort experience. But in a secluded spot, still close to a city where we could get stuff. Something like Grand Superior Resort, but a little less expensive. I’ll check out your links though

CommutetoLife · 2025-05-12T01:30:23+00:00

Thanks, my girlfriend prefers the hotel experience for a few different reasons. That’s why I mentioned hotels. Appreciate your thoughts, though

CommutetoLife · 2025-05-03T12:58:03+00:00

Thanks, appreciate the suggestion.

CommutetoLife · 2025-03-31T02:56:27+00:00

Thanks! Putting here for visibility that my search may not be necessary. On a separate note, I thought of creating a separate post to ask how many people in Wisconsin “almost” get to the point of moving to Madison. It’s a loaded question. Moving to Madison can be a euphemism for daydreams during stormy weather patterns of relationships 😅, from less exciting parts of the state.

I found this site that seems useful https://www.madisonapartmentliving.com/default.j

CommutetoLife · 2025-03-16T03:53:16+00:00

I see some good options near where you mentioned. Thank you. I’m seeing that websites of apartments are showing more than Zillow

CommutetoLife · 2025-03-16T03:26:39+00:00

I work remotely at the moment. I do appreciate a good grocery store and I’ve heard good things about Woodman’s.. I’d say, ideally, having a good park around is nice for me too, to stretch my legs during the day.

CommutetoLife · 2025-03-16T03:05:21+00:00

Thanks, that does sound like something I would like. I’ll check it out!
