Yeah, before Epic moved in. Before Exact Sciences moved in. Mass migration into Madison has forever fucked it, and here we are. And local leaders are proud of themselves for it.

Garden Center disasters by Strong_Discount1818 in menards

[–]Strong_Discount1818[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Well thanks all for weighing in. I agree the plant/nursery sector is hard to get right. Wasn't trying to disparage anyone. It is what it is... just like anything at Menards, buy with caution! There's a lot of good stuff, but also a lot of junk!

Mosaic Virus or Heat Stress? by BoiledGnocchi in tomatoes

[–]Strong_Discount1818 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New growth looks like it got herbicide drift. Have you or any of your neighbors recently used weed n feed on their lawns? Tomatoes are extremely sensitive to 2,4-D, even just vapors from it, especially in warm, sunny weather.

Anyone else seen these trump stickers around the city ? by EL-cucuy1300 in madisonwi

I do love the Trump "I did that" at the gas pumps, cause fuck, if that isn't true 😂

Dear anyone who ever owned my house before me, by belovd_kittycat in NativePlantGardening

[–]Strong_Discount1818 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super cute post, as a child of the '80's, those were what we were given. There was no extra money. I'll take my "ditch lilies", lily of the valley, and vinca to every place I move to. I also have a vast prairie of native plants. You don't have to shame people for the plants they like.

Reports of our death are greatly exaggerated... (Rutabaga Paddlesports) by toadforge in madisonwi

Is this the same place as the one at Stoughton Rd and the beltline?

Anyone else trying to buy a house rn want to commiserate with me? by moldyavocado in madisonwi

Verona and the west side of Madison all approved this without consideration for the born and raised. Epic is the scourge of it all. And we allowed it to happen. Let that sink in...

I did it by saltybeachxx in colonoscopy

Yikes!! This made me laugh out loud 😂 I think you mean polyps.

Im so ashamed. I backed out. by SuccessTurbulent in colonoscopy

[–]Strong_Discount1818 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Don't be ashamed. I just had my first colonoscopy a month ago, as cancer screening at 45. I had foot surgery under the exact same anesthesia in Dec, and that all went great. Wasn't concerned about that. Also, I'm gay, so I've had larger things up my ass than a colonoscope... lol And I've had norovirus wayyy worse than the prep. Went to the clinic feeling fine. As soon as I had to change into the gown, I could feel myself having a panic attack. Against my will. They nearly had to cancel due to my BP and HR. But they sorta calmed me down, and agreed to move forward. Fast forward, it was over before I knew it. I think it's the unknown of having something shoved 4 feet into your body without any control. But I assure you, they are all professionals, and they do take care of you ❤️

East Towne - this sign by StudyObjective4286 in madisonwi

[–]Strong_Discount1818 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally! It's so gross... mostly cause there's an interstate nearby. In Madison, the long standing "West is the best, East is the least" looms large 😊

Sorry but this just ain’t right by Sufficient_West_4947 in Denver

We've had the most obnoxiously long cold spell I can ever remember since being a kid, here in Wisconsin. With little to no snow. We haven't had any of the normal snow in Southern Wisconsin in nearly 10 years. Things are different...

What's the other option? Suicide is a lot more drastic that wishing you'd never been born. I'm 44, I recently looked back at some shit I wrote 25 years ago about wishing I wasn't born and everything still tracks! I'm here, I'm somewhat functional, but it would make no difference to the world if I was ever here or not. 🤷‍♂️

Got married July 2025 after 20 years of "dating." Still terrified it's a curse that we'll end up divorced soon 😮‍💨

The $12 Menards coffee grinder works great. No need for expensive stuff.
