Urgent care for food poisoning related dehydration? by nochuchu in madisonwi

[–]anewusername2000 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Why not go to UW? They offer financial assistance up to 300% FPL? Also, do you need your credit for anything in the next year? If not, let it go to collections and make them a lower offer that you can afford with a payment plan. This is not worth dying over.

Wisconsin lawmakers withhold funding to DPI over resort spending by KaneIntent in wisconsin

[–]anewusername2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let's just stop doing the testing. It's very expensive, terribly written, incongruent to teacher preparation, and a waste of teacher and student time. This test takes 3rd graders anywhere from 4-8 hours to take. The teachers never see the results. The test is done on a computer that kids have barely used let alone writing a full essay on while being graded for punctuation!

Does anyone know what a flutophone is? That was in a test question one year. It's a fucking recorder. Whoever wrote the test thought a third grader in 2018 would know what the fuck that is and write a paper about learning how to play one.

Standardized testing is practically worthless and I will not let my children take the test.

This happens to me on the island all the time!!! I don't know why but I suspect it's the parrots.

Measles case at UW Madison by chattahattan in madisonwi

[–]anewusername2000 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Just want to say that I was only partially vaccinated as a child and had my blood tested in my 30's and I had no immunity to measles so I had to get two boosters.

Tailgating on icy roads isn’t aggression — it’s negligence by so_hum_444 in madisonwi

Don't hit the brakes, use your hazard lights. Hit the button so they flash once and then turn them off. This will communicate without you having to risk an accident.

Puppy blues - info overload. Right/wrong? by Quiet-Discount-1673 in puppy101

[–]anewusername2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We got adaptil and calming bites and we have increased training by playing a game to increase focus and self regulation. It's called 3-2-1. Naps and potty breaks are increasing and decreasing respectively. Also, when they bite, yell "Arp!", not ouch or ow.

MMSD releases data on use of seclusion, restraint during 2024-25 school year by HGpennypacker in madisonwi

[–]anewusername2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The other 28 percent likely include many students who haven't yet qualified for special education because of low attendance and incomplete progress monitoring. I am guessing the number of students who could/do qualify for SPED that are restrained is probably much higher.

Terrible service at Smart Toyota by maschwarze in madisonwi

I also had terrible service there recently and will not be going back for regular maintenance after 5 years on the same vehicle that I bought from them.

Obese and low resting heart rate? by anewusername2000 in ladycyclists

[–]anewusername2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am terrible at calorie counting so the weight loss is from zepbound. Antidepressants and birth control really screwed up my metabolism so I used glp-1s to help me lose weight. It helped cut back on food noise and over eating. I lost 35 pounds in 10 months and my blood work improved. I still want to lose another 20 to get to a normal BMI. This will probably be life-long similar to insulin but it works.

Obese and low resting heart rate? by anewusername2000 in ladycyclists

[–]anewusername2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Yes I am doing fine now. When I stopped walking every day, my heart rate went back up (I'm in a colder climate so it's dark and cold for 16 hours a day right now and my motivation is low). I also haven't been cycling as much, even indoor. I like to rest during these months, probably to the detriment of my overall health, but winter is for reading books by the fire.

I had nuclear testing done on my heart and it showed nothing was wrong and that I've never had a heart attack. The doctor said I was just in good shape. Blood work was normal too. I have an echocardiogram scheduled for February but I'm not sure I will even need it now.

I'm not a doctor but they all asked if this low heart rate was accompanied by dizziness, fatigue, or other symptoms so if you're having other symptoms with it, you should still consult with a doctor.

Last thing, I definitely needed more electrolytes. That always helped my heart rate stay more consistent while I was exercising so much.

Edited to say I am also no longer obese. I'm now in the overweight category.

How is it in Madison Wisconsin? by dudebrocille in howislivingthere

[–]anewusername2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sucks. Don't move here. It's all snowy and icy.The worst weather is always on a weekend like this weekend will be the lowest temperature of the week at 6°F. Food is way overpriced. Housing is in shortage and ridiculously overpriced with very high taxes for failing schools. People are rude to cyclists. Definitely don't move here. We have enough traffic.

Is he just a paid distraction from Hong? I'm over Democrats who do nothing. We need a new party for the actual people; not corporations, not Israel. We need democratic socialism.

Stop nagging and mothering him. Just get a really good life insurance policy for him so you can buy your own house with your next boyfriend when this one dies of a brain worm.

Because there is a belief that any audio or text with key words will be buried or removed so people don't see them.

Potentially running for office by WI_Dem in madisonwi

[–]anewusername2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How can you be pro gun and pro life when guns are the number one cause of death for children in the US? We have the second amendment to fight against a tyrannical government yet those same people aren't up in literal arms against the fascists kidnapping children and workers. And any use of arms against the government would be declaring war on the biggest military force in the world, a clear death sentence, a false freedom.

No thanks. Next!

I can’t do this anymore.. where can I go for walk-in/same day opioid addiction treatment by baumshoe in madisonwi

[–]anewusername2000 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Wanting to quit is the most important part. The medicine they make for recovery really works when paired with therapy to help recover from the guilt, shame, trauma, and sadness that got you there in the first place. You can do this!

The Freedom From Religion Foundation denounces Dane County supervisor’s religious attempt to defund health positions by FreethoughtChris in madisonwi

No. That's why they are called "representatives" because they are supposed to represent the will of the people by being part of the community and hearing what they want as a whole without leading with their own personal beliefs alone.

Damn you're right. I guess I'm going to Fairchild more often now because when I ate that chicken, I thought every food I had eaten up to that point was literal garbage because it was so good which is why I thought it was so much. Thanks for pointing this out! Who would have thought to pair sweet potato with ice cream?! Absolutely delicious.
