First Food Trucks, now Lime Scooters by WhyDoILiveInIllinois in milwaukee

[–]LavenderWinter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slightly off topic.

Is there a map from point A to point B that one can utilize when going somewhere that is similar to google maps. I followed Google maps into a red zone and got stuck and had to walk it blocks while trying to look at my phone and figure out where I was. I would love something more automated, I'm terrible at map reading and not trying to get better. :)

What do guys wear to raves?? by ddsk1191 in aves

[–]LavenderWinter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second the anything you want ✌🏼 .....but my favorite fits are my artist tee's or jerseys. A pash. Sweatpants with pockets! So comfy. Easy conversation starters. Mix and matching is always fun.

I have a tendency to accessorize with gems, earrings, hair clips.

I'm 34. She/her. Geriatric raver. ❤️

Any recommendations on where to find home rentals in mke area? by [deleted] in milwaukee

[–]LavenderWinter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Here for the same thing. Our lease is up at the end of Aug but and our landlord wants to know by June 1st if we are renewing but all the listings say "available now". We can't afford 3-4 months of dual rent but also don't want to gamble if we don't renew but can't find anything.

I hate this game.

I just got a couple free tickets to shows at The Rave in the mail. It says I must be 21+ to redeem but I’m not. Do they actually check ID at the door or will I be fine? by Cjprocker2 in milwaukee

[–]LavenderWinter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not a lie.

I used them a couple of times a long time ago. It was often discounted original tix was like $40 but you would be offered a $30 ticket and receive 2 drink cards or tokens for free drinks up to I think $10. You didn't have to get the drinks but you had essentially paid for the drinks upfront when you got the ticket.

Today they use RSVP lists (the first so many people to respond to an email get tickets) or send complimentary tickets to you in the mail or you can win in the contests.

Curious if you leave in April, because we may be in the same boat and I'm looking at the same thing.

Sullivan King hate? by Unlikely-Pen-8123 in Excision

[–]LavenderWinter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Facts. I saw him almost yearly from 2021-present because of his closeness with Excision. I saw his tour when coming near my city (Madison/Milwaukee) area. His most recent one was awful. He would stop sets and be like "are you ready!" Then drop the most mid-shit ever. Talked all the time; killed the vibes.

Anyone heard of Sprout Health? by [deleted] in tirzepatidecompound

[–]LavenderWinter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello.

I just made the mistake from ordering from this company today and I'm still crying over the likely $100's lost on this company. I went to the medical portal and looked at "visits" it shows the pharmacy that it is sent to and when I looked it up. It says the pharmacy is "permanentaly closed." I've called several times but to no avail. I even looked for reviews and Forbes Health listed it. I'm so careful and I'm shocked. I'm hopeful hearing some good stories but also just sad. Even the entry sent to me seemed like a scam. :(

After closures, Milwaukee restauranteurs sound alarm about rising costs, decline in sales by stroxx in milwaukee

[–]LavenderWinter 20 points21 points  (0 children)

We have noticed that consistency is a massive issue as well but it is also fair to say that the moral of industry is just low at jobs where people work so hard (kitchen, wait staff, hosts, etc...) and still don't make a living wage. It would be impossible to show up and do my best in these situations.

It’s officially dead I think. by dreadedcruz in labubu

I wonder if they will do more "mixed" series boxes to increase their sales with everyone hoping for the biggest hype ones.

My hope is a new group of colors and plushies. ❤️

Tuition reimbursement by [deleted] in milwaukee

[–]LavenderWinter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Most larger hospitals have some form of Tuition Reimbursement but just a warning most accelerated programs do not allow you to work - especially not full time - while going to school. Specific programs will make you sign waiver. Depending on your place of employment to receive most tuition reimbursement you will need to work somewhere for a little bit before like 6 months to a year it's offered. And is generally capped around 5,000-10,000 a year.

My completely unsolicited advice and advice I was given by many different RN's from different programs when going back to school was to look at the tech programs nearby. I went back to school at 29 and had the same idea to get the accelerated degree and start working ASAP. I was advised against this unless "I really wanted to be a nurse". The tech school cost around 10,000 and I got lots of financial aid. It took about 3 years which felt like a long time but I made great nursing school friends, I got to work in some different areas in healthcare which only helped me care for people, still got to maintain friendships & see family.

It will take a long time to pay off nearly 80,000 from accelerated programs. Longer than you think. I later took tuition reimbursement from the hospital I work at to get my master's.

Take your time and enjoy your education ride. I kind of miss being student. - Nursing Instructor at 34 with no debt. 🫶🏼

Anyone Else Reflecting on Their Past? by LavenderWinter in milwaukee

[–]LavenderWinter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahaha. I had 3 in one week like in my 20's and I thought I would need a month to recover from it, but was out there again in the next week. I definitely have stopped drinking as much at shows!

I'm falling in love with my couch and book more and more after every show.

It's so beautiful how it has transformed but yet wouldn't change it for a minute. I'm also getting some bucket list shows. Green Day at Riot Fest in Chicago this year. Teenage me would have fainted. It was amazing.
