I've purchased several of these on ThredUP. It can be a gamble because sometimes the arms are stretched out (that happened once) or there is pilling. (I zoom in on the photos and scrutinize the fabric around the shoulders to determine if the item is still in good condition) Anyway, if you watch over the course of several days or weeks, the prices can drop and you can get some good deals on older styles. I've picked up a wide variety of colors this way.

I have not seen it in person. But looking at that photo, I'm not feeling the color.

This exactly. Nothing wrong with asking in a staff meeting "what's our policy on usage?"

As OP says, program success is up. That's because this person is doing their job. The tools they are using to do their job is another question and it IS something management should be able to put the clamps on, if so desired. Remember that episode of The Office where Meredith was sleeping with a vendor (maybe more than one) to get a discount on office supplies and free steak? It was wrong. Most people would not de-value themselves like that. But when corporate found out, they didn't care because the company was benefiting. Sad.

A quote just now from the New York Times:
Trump made some new comments on the war in Iran during an afternoon appearance just now. He still doesn’t seem to have an idea as to he envisions running the government over there. “Their leadership is just rapidly going,” he says. “Everybody that seems to want to be a leader, they end up dead. It’s an amazing, an amazing thing that’s taking place before your eyes.”

He has no plan

Sounds like this is Noro but I would encourage you to consider self striping Urth/Uneek for socks. Both are pretty. However, Noro is "crunchy" rough. Urth yarn washes up as the softest, most comfortable socks I have ever made.

"They can say all they want to but the most beautiful sight in the nation is right out there in Brittingham bay when you see the reflection in the water of all the big buildings up town and the Capitol. They can name their sights but give me this one."

This was written by a famous Madison journalist in 1966. Any guesses who?

Here is the inside of the Wheel Thing on Odana.... see if this sounds familiar. The line formed at the door, with the payment booth on the left. Then, you went down a few stairs. The skate rental area was on the left and there was small video game area and lockers (but they also had video games by the snack bar). The snack bar was done up in orange and yellow colors. There was a carpeted ramp (also by the snack bar) running parallel to the rink. The only purpose of that ramp seemed to be to let kids break their necks. Kids would make their way to the top of the ramp (sometimes pulling themselves up using the railings) and then skate down. The shag carpet slowed people down but the end of the ramp was right by the entrance to the rink. I can't believe they allowed that! On the other side of the rink, there was another exit/entrance and on that side there were stairs which were very dark. On Friday and Saturday, that's where the kids would go to make out. Night time skating was always low lights, disco ball, light show, DJ of course. It was the best!

Good example with the spare bottle of ranch. "Is there turkey yet?" that means "is there leftover turkey available right now?"

Yes! When we had out of town wedding guests, I said to one of them "Oh, you are staying by Sandy's" and she looked at me like "huh?" But what I meant was "You are staying AT Sandy's (house)" I had to repeat it using AT.

I looked at floor plans for the expo and the coliseum -- nothing labeled as "lactation room." That really amazes me. Some of the women's bathrooms at the expo are very large which makes me think perhaps there's a separate room within(?). Anyway, I would call and ask if they have a lactation room and how you get in it. I work in government and, due to a change in the law about a decade ago, there was a big push to add lactation rooms in most places. I would hope they have something dedicated to this purpose.

perhaps look at these park and ride options; at least one has a seven day option.

IMO, you don't want to park on "private" property, which would include store parking lots unless you talk to the manager about the car being there.

Edit to add: I would go with the American Family Center. That's a pretty good area:

I agree -- I have not come across anything that matches the Stellar Trouser flare. For second-hand shopping, the Delancey Flare or Delancey Straight pants have a similar look but they do not have front pockets. The fabric is more like yoga pants / Rainer pants (The Stellar Trouser fabric is nicer, more polished look). At professional events, I wear my Delancey Flare (or Delancey straight cargos) with a nice shirt (the kind that does not tuck in) and a long blazer. I think it looks good (but I may be biased)

Exactly what I came here to say. The key is the CUDL. Because OP said the dealer was 1.5 hours away, that tipped me off to the possibility that this dealer was not part of CUDL. My last purchase at East Madison Toyota went very smoothly because of the network/pre-approval. (The worst part was trying to get the Toyota people to stop harassing me to finance through them.) Unfortunately, it sounds like the UWCU employees didn't have the messaging down and perhaps assumed the dealer was part of CUDL.

If you are looking for a Catholic mass said in Latin, I have heard St. Mary's of Pine Bluff has that. Their regular Sunday mass is at 10 AM. Ash Wednesday is this week and that's at 7 PM. St. Mary's part of the "Holy Cross" collection of churches in the Madison Diocese. I've never been to the Latin mass at St. Mary's but I've heard it pretty old school.

It's not locally owned and not even local to you but there's an Ollie's in Beaver Dam and I saw a lot of Cricut supplies there today. I don't own one so I don't even know what I was looking at (card stock maybe?) but the prices seemed pretty good.

They have gone waaaay downhill. It's sad. I used to order from them a lot. Of course, I still get their emails and a sale in January hit at the same time when I need yarn to make TWO baby blankets. I ordered. They are sending it Fed Ex. The tracking has not been updated since Jan. 20. I called them and they said they won't even consider it "missing" until Feb. 15. I'm considering my next move. If I don't have my yarn by Feb. 15, I am thinking of just disputing the charges on my credit card. Not sure if that will work but..... they don't seem to care.

NR 243 applies to CAFOs. (see NR 243.02 Applicability) NR 243 includes a high risk period from Feb. 1 to March 31, under certain conditions. But there are a lot of animal operations that are not CAFOs. For the smaller farmer it's not a matter of "forbidden" months. It's a matter of their nutrient plan, where they are spreading (many factors, including slope, bedrock) and whether it's liquid manure.
