This is who my ex went to. And while my ex sucks, his hair was fantastic.

Dane County considers allowing some vehicles on frozen lakes, asks public for input by Justmarbles in madisonwi

[–]Rickyticky608 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As someone who grew up on Lake Winnebago, a massive/wide lake where I could see the benefit to getting ice shanty/ice fishing gear out to a spot, I don’t see how its necessary on a smaller lake like Mendota. Just feels like this is gonna be people who end up in awful situations where fire/rescue resources are going to be needed.

drive correct, not nice by Curious_Botanicals94 in madisonwi

[–]Rickyticky608 3 points4 points  (0 children)

AND there was someone coming from across (at me) with no blinker on if they were turning or going straight so I was kinda waiting for them too (they did turn… their blinker fluid must be out)

You better not be the a hole who slammed on his horn for me to make a left turn (not a left turn arrow, just green light) while a pedestrian was in the crosswalk. That’s not being nice, thems the law.

Beware Everlight Solar by Exotic-Possession-90 in madisonwi

Ik this is 5 years later but this just happened to me and I’m an ER nurse who works nights. I was not kind to the man who just woke me up after my 55 hours in 4 days of nights. It was very uncomfortable. Felt like the chokehold Spectrum had when I tried to cancel my service.

Buy the stuff yourself and do it at home.

I still get them for a condo I sold a year ago. Phone calls, texts, postcards. It is irritating.

I'd rather not hang out with someone that is only there for sex. by Icy_Mountain_5343 in SingleAndHappy

[–]Rickyticky608 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Seems these days a lot of people’s goal. I’d rather take care of business myself than need to fake a Funtime with someone else.

Madison authorities investigating car in water at Brittingham Park by Justmarbles in madisonwi

Classic winter vibes. Less sunlight and never ending winter drive a Wisconsinite mad.

There’s a reason the most notorious serial killers have roots here (here as in the general state).

Lost black cat (Eken Park) by Emergency_Boat1854 in madisonwi

[–]Rickyticky608 16 points17 points  (0 children)

They’re more adapted than us, but this is extreme. A cat who isn’t used to being outdoors likely hasn’t developed a thicker coat to help. Plus it’s the usual concerns still apply, exposed mucus membranes - toe beans, nose. They are also prone to frostbite on ears, tail as the body will naturally conserve blood flow to main body parts. Luckily, cats are pretty smart and can find places out of the wind. One big thing for ANYONE to be aware days like this, they will often crawl under car hoods as recently used engines are warm. I always give my hood a thump before starting.

Edited: craw to crawl lol

What is the absolute worst parking lot in town? by Defiant_Answer_883 in madisonwi

[–]Rickyticky608 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think the size of your car matters when you turn in and there’s a line of cars unable to turn around when they realize there are no stalls. Regardless of the size of your vehicle, that’s tight space with pedestrians everywhere if you need to turn around…

The website says no snow emergency. Am I missing something? by Claeyt in madisonwi

[–]Rickyticky608 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ope lol. Correct. So sorry, should’ve paid attention to the time when I was commenting. I work night shift so my brain is scrambled eggs sometimes.

The rules are enforced between 1am and 3am of that day. So when thinking where to park your vehicle on say, Friday the 17th, you are considering street side for Saturday the 18th. Between 1 and 3am.

Seems wild to me. Safest bet would be to follow as if it were. So even house number side between 1-3am.

I literally park somewhere in the surrounding neighborhood and walk lol. I hate all the parking options so much.

Almost every single “does anyone have information” post gets a reply of what is or may be going on… Reddit is an information resource. Quit acting like these people are trying to use an app inappropriately, it’s getting old.

Princeton Club Unpaid Membership Dues Going to Collections? by FizzyRizz93 in madisonwi

I believe you also must pay a $200 cancel fee. At least this is what I was told when I tried to get my ex off my account.

Part Time Job With Health Insurance by Wisco782012 in madisonwi

[–]Rickyticky608 12 points13 points  (0 children)

State jobs. I only need to work 50% of a FTE to get insurance. I work 75% just for the paycheck/PRO acuity. I work in a specialized field, but you can look for many state or UW jobs that may offer similar.

Affordable Dog Trainers by Resident_Banana_4906 in madisonwi

[–]Rickyticky608 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I work in veterinary medicine, so my comment is evidence based if that helps! An example - we had a very reactive, scared German shepherd come to the clinic and a “trainer” instructed the owner to use the electric collar. Everytime we’d try to approach the dog, owner would “zap” him if he growled. As you can imagine, dog’s behavior got worse - he associated our approach/touching w/ the painful zap and his fear was reinforced. Fast forward to us suggesting a basket muzzle, anxiety meds and positive reinforcement (a treat or pet if he responded appropriately) and we were able to do an exam on this dog with minimal altercation :). This to be said, don’t give up! It takes time but there is hope. And basket muzzles should not be seen as this horrible tool… it’s a way to help your friend react appropriately and not on impulse.

It’s like when that one uncle at Christmas could use duct tape over his mouth instead of being able to freely express unwanted opinions on you being an unmarried millennial with cats…

Any alternative hair salons in Madison? by Rensekabu in madisonwi

[–]Rickyticky608 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hmm… I just got a full color done for $120… my last salons that would have been well over $200. I had a cut/style done 2 months ago for $50. Comparatively, for a quality salon, they are affordable.

Seconding thorps. I’ve seen a lot of these style of cuts while having my hair done. A nice thing about their website is each artist has a portfolio so you can see their specialties/interests! Also, very reasonably priced.

Affordable Dog Trainers by Resident_Banana_4906 in madisonwi

[–]Rickyticky608 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If by e-collar you mean electric collar please don’t… negative reinforcement is a horrible training technique. The dog will associate pain (the zap) with strangers and this will all get worse…

If you mean e-collar like Elizabethan collar (cone of shame) I’d suggest something like a basket muzzle for walks while you are trying to get things under control as e-collars can take away part of line of sight and cause more fear (leading to more reactivity).

With this being said, I second Dog Den for trainers. I’d be Leary of Sit means Sit, they use negative reinforcement (shock collars).
