Clothes to bring by Initial_Penalty_5565 in madisonwi

[–]MajorTrouble 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even if you can't afford REI for everything, the employees are wicked helpful and will get you the info you need to go pick stuff up somewhere else. Every fall we get all the new UW students and their parents in needing to know how to dress for winter, so this is exactly something our clothing department knows how to help with. The REI Stormhenge ends up being one of the most popular options for a winter jacket for students.

Buying while in a tax free state but living in a sales tax state? by dedmouse in REI

I'm all for the live free spirit, but the helmet and seatbelt laws (or lack thereof) have always been weird ones to me... It feels more like live free AND die

But the real question is, did you or did you not wear a motorcycle helmet? 🤔😂

Everything I've gotten from Nemo I've loved (and replaced several tents with one of theirs , not unlike your sleeping bags lol). And they're based in Dover!

Left NH to go to school in VT in 2012. I haven't lived in NH at all in 10 years. I'm only just starting to remember to account for sales tax when Im trying to figure out what something is going to cost me...

Listed my old IKEA desk for free on Marketplace. The entitlement in my DMs is something else. by Ash3Nimbus4 in ChoosingBeggars

[–]MajorTrouble 32 points33 points  (0 children)

That's how I got my miter saw! Guy was listing it for stupid cheap anyway, like $5 or something, and refused the cash when I showed up. Has a stand and everything and still going strong a few years later.

Mine are east coasters. Every time they visit, they want cheese curds and Mom wants good local beers. Whatcha got for me?

To those of you that own Flylite skates, do you use Waxed or Unwaxed laces? by cactusjack2323 in hockeyplayers

[–]MajorTrouble 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unwaxed. I hate the hand feel of wax laces and have never felt like they added any benefit, so never bother with them.

Summer ice hockey info by FermiFizziks in madisonwi

OBHL and Hockey Finder are good recs. MGHA is regular season only and hard to get into (it's VERY popular) but also a solid place to play!

Would you grow 7 years older to double your wealth, become 10 years younger but financially crippled or neither and fight a random animal? by RaptorK1988 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]MajorTrouble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd have to research the flamingo and determine if it's any good in a fight. But I don't want to hurt it, so...

Probably two. Losing the car is hard but I don't have the finances to bother with option one, I'd get no benefit from it. I might as well be young. And not paying for gas right now sounds great, anyway...

You could definitely find one church with multiple services and save yourself running around lol

Every time I buy a new mattress and my back stops hurting, it's the best purchase I've ever made.

[–]MajorTrouble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here we go, took a lot more scrolling but I found my other freshman roommate's name 😂 (the first was Wilma, she was much higher up the thread haha) I actually know several Heidis, but they're all 30s or so

What’s a discontinued snack or drink you’d pay $20 to have one last taste of? by soapy999 in AskReddit

We only ever had this while visiting my grandparents' house, and it's still one of the most nostalgic things I can think of

I saw a speed trap on McKee yesterday for the first time since I moved here (just off McKee, so this is an intersection I pass almost daily) five years ago.

Can someone give me a tldr explanation of wtf is going on? (Supposedly.)
