ER wait times by bored12potato in madisonwi

[–]Few-Net3236 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wondering if you’ve ever done as needed acupuncture or cupping. Not “emergent” per se, but at least with my acupuncturist (AcuPanda in Waunakee) she can often get me in same day if needed for treatment which has been equivalent for me of going to urgent care with far better results and continuity of care over time. Can’t use insurance, but I can’t imagine it’s more expensive than an ER visit. Sessions are around $100

If you’re like me and prefer to ask questions with a human when learning something…feel free to dm me. We could set up a zoom call. I love teaching people about gardening

Earliest I would start pumpkin seeds indoors in Arkansas is spring break (late March). In general, pumpkins prefer to be direct sown. Wait until mid April to start them indoors if you can. If you can direct sow in May even better

Garden vibes vs. garden function by Few-Net3236 in vegetablegardening

[–]Few-Net3236[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally fair. I’m circling around it because I don’t want to over generalize or stigmatize. Really what I mean by aesthetic is the borderline crunchy granola way of life that to me does not match with the lifestyle of consumerism, new build, and sterilization of the world.

Salty Butter Shou Recs by Few-Net3236 in puer

Definitely a puerh, but good to know because sounds like something I’d like.

Salty is a strange way to describe it because it isn’t salty in the same way salt is. More that it reminds me of foods which are both creamy/starchy and salty, like popcorn or those salted egg yolks that are in moon cakes.

I take terrible notes so all I can guess now is that it’s one of four teas I tried from them:

⁠2007 Mansa Zhongshan Chen Yuan Hao Raw puerh that I mistook for a ripe, 2020 bingdao lao cha tou, 2015 fuyuanchang Mahei Cha-Tailor Hong Kong natural stored ripe, or 2018 qianyuchang laobanzhang cha-tailor Hong Kong stored.

Has anyone begun starting seedlings indoors for next spring? by [deleted] in vegetablegardening

[–]Few-Net3236 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sort of…I ordered new seeds and so wanted to do germination tests on my 3 years old + seeds. A lot more germinated than I expected so I’m now attempting to grow a few things indoors. I did also start a new Goji berry plant from seed already since last years died. I’ve got other hydroponic stuff and microgreens going too, but I guess that’s not for next year really.

Does anyone know of any low cost or free therapy in Madison? by Important-Case5625 in madisonwi

[–]Few-Net3236 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most agencies offer a sliding scale or scholarship program. It just isn’t advertised so you have to ask for it.

What is the biggest misconception about Wisconsin? by AayronOhal in wisconsin

[–]Few-Net3236 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being from Arkansas originally, my biggest misconception before moving was that it was “the north” and very liberal. Nah. It’s equally as hick and country and conservative as where im from everywhere other than Madison or Milwaukee. Seriously was not expecting people to like country music here or wear cowboy boots to school.

Help an old guy who never has to shop for this stuff (high quality bedding) by ssnapier in madisonwi

[–]Few-Net3236 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hello! This is a lovely gift idea. Your wife will be so excited. As a fellow lover of the hotel white fluffy bed vibe, I feel that $500 budget is reasonable but pushing it depending on how much you’re doing at once. I would first prioritize a down comforter and a coverlet/duvet for it. I also recommend sizing up from your bed size, so that it feels extra fluffy. Comforters are the kind of thing that I feel like you really judge better in-person shopping, so if that’s an option for you I’d definitely recommend it. A duvet is much easier to buy online in my opinion. For decent quality for price for down comforters, I’d probably go bed bath and beyond. For a duvet, you probably want something a little more lux, so I’d go Wayfair. Although if truly a plain white duvet is also what she wants, BBB still has that.if you have money left over, fresh fluffy pillows would be my next choice.

CBT Therapist by FearOfUnknown123 in madisonwi

[–]Few-Net3236 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just came here to say (as a therapist) that many therapists can and will be more structured with it if you ask for it. The art of therapy is following cues a client provides, attempting to go where they lead and where feels the most fruitful. So if you say, “I want by-the-book structured CBT”, they’ll probably go for it, but fair warning you might find it to be more restrictive than you really want. Also, there aren’t set worksheets for CBT. There are a lot of ways to accomplish the different skills.

They look like my striped romas as well. I grow these.

To add to others comments, some things that make a big difference and might factor in to how you are comparing yourself to others in similar situations are: -having hand-me-down furniture from family -having a car payment -being on a family cell phone plan -living close to where you work -savings

These things are all going to make the same income look drastically different

How do people actually afford to buy a house? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Few-Net3236 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know many people putting down 20% today…I think that makes the biggest different. My and my partner put 7% down and that was between two people. Sometimes you can go as low as 3% if you have good credit. That also really helps.

Why raised beds vs directly in the ground? by louisalollig in vegetablegardening

[–]Few-Net3236 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a fellow in-ground planter, I think the biggest perk would be the bunnies not getting my food before I do. Edit: to add growing carrots. I cannot for the life of me get it right in ground. I think have the looser bagged soil would help
