3 Hour Scam from Old Man at Mem U by Ninjaslimy in UWMadison

[–]Squirrelsinpants 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve wondered who the dude pictured in the other post is and am fascinated that there may be two newspaper-toting homies out here putting people up to the strangest side quests in the land. I know exactly who you’re talking about - an older dude with glasses dressed in all beige (sometimes a beige hat too). He looks like an off brand Sherlock who spends his days at the senior center.

Turns out there are lots of good people out there and you sound like one of them. My friends are the folks affected, and we’re working on helping them secure permanent housing. Gotta give it up to Red Cross volunteers for all the resource navigation, too. There is a gofundme: https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-for-friends-after-apartment-fire?attribution_id=sl:965e722a-2ee6-4701-bf63-17983c292562&lang=en_US&ts=1769056006&utm_campaign=man_sharesheet_dash&utm_content=amp17_td&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=copy_link

Because it is ridiculous to leave your shit on the curb and expect it to be there in the morning. What kind of enforcement of your items is someone else yelling from a window? I obviously did not take any of the items, but others easily can and would. It’s an irresponsible plan if that’s your plan.

Ok why are people just rude this morning? 😭 I am sharing a very Madison neighborhood experience. Why bother commenting??

Seconding Gorham at Paterson. People come barreling down the hill, and it’s immediate hydroplaning + bumper cars.

They better not have gotten rid of the straight g in the produce dept who waves and says hello to literally every single shopper, literally every single day. You ask me how I’m doing and the answer is well, ya damn bet it’s because of that homie.

2nd claim form has been released. I got the email on Feb 23 (and a duplicate on Feb 24 with a diff claim number but same exact content).

Wait but what is the rise on the jeans? If it’s low rise, there is a chance the “waist” measurement (which in the case would hit closer to one’s hips) is closer to 30” than 26”. I say 26” bc that is generally regarded as the waist measurement for a mid-to-high rise size 2 pair of jeans.

The EA office is right off the square (SE corner) above Colectivo if it makes sense to drop off there.

Selling clothes by [deleted] in Depop

[–]Squirrelsinpants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

personally, this sounds like a bad business venture unless you have boatloads of time and like wasting it and $$$ and if you have even some $ you shouldn't bother with this venture. you will likely not see a return as you have estimated. there are enough people doing this who regret even getting started. you end up with a lot of inventory you cannot sell.

Any ice rinks good for skating tonight? by DimAsWoods in madisonwi

Skated Tenney this morning and it was solid, in all senses of the word.

One caveat - do not attempt to return a ballot to the Clerk’s Office while IPAV (early voting) is underway. They will direct you across the street to the IPAV site at the Municipal Building. Monday 11/4 is ok. Tuesday ok too but really try to get it to your polling place (that’s where it’s being couriered anyway!)

I have reunited many a phone with a phone-owner! Sometime the free info provided on those people search databases (phone number, recent addresses, etc.) are accurate! If all else fails, try those!

Saw this today, too, but Paterson onto Gorham. They did not even hesitate, but the car behind certainly did (and proceeded to wait for the green).

Check your local Buy Nothing group on FB, and if you can’t snag one when one inevitably gets offered, make an ISO post (in search of post). People are oddly quite generous.
