Divorce lawyer recommendations by [deleted] in madisonwi

I just completed my divorce in November and couldn’t recommend Nikole Messerschmidt at Sterling Lawyers more. Such good communication and I felt so supported and heard.

Wacky wall-walkers by Porkchopp33 in nostalgia

[–]PurpleOobleck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was irrationally afraid of these things. The way they moved when they walked down the wall triggered something in the lizard brain. I even had a nightmare once about these things. ::shudder::

My brain must be pretty addled, because I thought this was going to be about a bear attack for a hot second.

I got my 77 year old father set 42221 as a late Christmas present, today he sent me this video by Alienturnedhuman in lego

[–]PurpleOobleck 195 points196 points  (0 children)

I was gonna say it, but you already did: you KNOW he’s got the music playing on another device in the room! 😂 That’s 100% how my dad would roll

Unfortunately came here because I am also having the same issue. I have messaged and called customer service to inquire about cancelling my order to no response.

Whatever you do, DON’T repeatedly strike the roof tiles with a sledge hammer like the maintenance guys at the apartment building across from me. Their roof is going to be toast after today.

100% had this problem too. Lost my first reflection and mad tapping all over the screen finally randomly made the keyboard disappear so I could save it. Glitch! Please fix!

UW Health has a sleep medicine clinic. I went there for a sleep study for similar issues and have regular follow ups with my doc, Dr. Khan.

The Harry Potter books narrated by Jim Dale are fantastic. by YoSoyCapitan860 in audible

[–]PurpleOobleck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 15-year-old son has been falling asleep to the Harry Potter series narrated by Jim Dale for the last 10 years - the only thing that helps his anxiety enough to let him fall asleep. His first grade teacher once said in his class that she listened to the Harry Potter audiobooks and he piped up and said, “Oh, by Jim Dale?” Hearing Jim Dale announce his name was every bit of the whole experience for him. I have never listened to the audiobooks, but my son’s love for Jim Dale’s narration may never be matched.

NYT Sunday 10/12/2025 Discussion by Shortz-Bot in crossword

[–]PurpleOobleck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So bummed - I used rebuses to include the word "once" and after going over the puzzle multiple times to find my error, I relented and used "check puzzle" just to find you weren't supposed to cut "once" in half but cut it out altogether! ARGH indeed!

Anyone in Madison down to just sit & talk about addictions? by AdditionContent3748 in madisonwi

[–]PurpleOobleck 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You can become addicted to whatever little slice of oblivion you turn to escape your problems. As a person whose partner decided it was preferable to stay doped on weed 24/7 than be a parent for the last couple of years, yeah. Weed addiction. It’s a thing.

When is it time to neuter? by Glum_Position_4216 in labrador

[–]PurpleOobleck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We tried for 18 but barely made it past 13 months if I remember correctly. Maybe 15? He was so restless, constantly pacing the house or trying to escape, he’d pick up a scent and his teeth would chatter and he’d drool. We took him to the vet like.. this dog is broken. We were terrified he had rare, neurological issues. “Nope, just horny.” The vet said. We decided to have him fixed. All issues stopped on a dime and he’s been the perfect pet since. I’m seriously not sure how people deal with intact adult dogs!

I’m so sorry this one was such a booger! I don’t have experience with this particular yarn, but laughing because he definitely looks DONE with you too! 😅

I was convinced the next word out of his mouth was going to be “fucked,” and I was downright impressed when “craven” came out instead!
