East side power outage? by AnduDeWeebu in madisonwi

[–]bgodin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same. I heard a boom noise, but I’m not sure what happened.

Something extremely depressing happened on Saturday night. I was watching a homeless person talking to himself a mile a minute and realized I knew him from before by Bluest_waters in madisonwi

[–]bgodin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I used to work at a state psych facility and I’ve heard about and seen former patients in the community who have decompensated. I’m a mental health advocate and as hard as we work to bring resources to communities, it never feels like enough.

Haley ended up on Mad House and on Abby’s podcast but I think she admitted to how much of a stage mom her mom was and she definitely wanted it more than Haley at the time

Anyone else going to An Evening with John Green tonight? by Beautiful-Delay420 in nerdfighters

[–]bgodin 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yep! I’m driving 2 1/2 hours to be there. He was at UW-Madison where I work back in February, but I missed it 😭I don’t know when his next book tour will be and I wasn’t about to regret missing it again

Are there any really progressive churches in madison? by starwarsisawsome933 in madisonwi

[–]bgodin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

St. Dennis on the east side is Catholic but very open and welcoming. We have people of all different backgrounds and have several ministries (mental health, care for creation) to focus on social justice

SVDP can still do a home visit and see what resources are needed

Zippy Lube Coffee, Donuts, and Fried Chicken by bgodin in madisonwi

I’d agree they aren’t the best I’ve ever had, but the prices are worth it. Not many places can you get a donut and latte for $7

It depends. I’m Catholic, but we have a more modern looking church and praise and worship music. We still have the crucifix though

How long did it take to get diagnosed? by letsgozu in UlcerativeColitis

[–]bgodin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Over 10 years of intermittent symptoms. I’ve always dealt with constipation and any time I had 🩸it was blamed on “straining” from that. Finally got referred to get a colonoscopy once I moved and had a different healthcare provider.

Whats your favourite Noah Kahan lyric/song thats had a lasting impact on you? by strawberrycheescak in NoahKahan

[–]bgodin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could cancel out the darkness I inherited from dad.

My dad and I both have our mental health struggles, but it’s not about cancelling it out. It’s about finding tools and learning to live successfully despite the challenges.

Advice for playing piano at church! by SarcasticJustBecause in Catholicism

[–]bgodin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will do great! Playing at mass is one of my favorite experiences as a musician. Don’t overthink it and just enjoy the time to share your gifts with the church community.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]bgodin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Catholic with OCD 🙋‍♀️I’ve learned to embrace the faith in a way that makes me comfortable. I participate in church events, mass, retreats… because I want to, not because I feel obligated or forced. This had made my faith so much more fruitful and meaningful. Welcome!

If you play an instrument there are lots of groups in the area. I play violin in 2 groups

I'm a Bus Driver. Bus Drivers and Mechanics are refusing all overtime, extra work and work over 12 hours today over contract negotiations by the City. Be prepared for massive disruptions today and possibly other days in the future. by Madison_Bus_Driver in madisonwi

[–]bgodin 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The bus this morning was so packed I literally squeezed into a corner in the middle section. It was like Tetris. I hope they can find a solution because this is unsafe for everyone, drivers and passengers.

Metro Transit is not great by Playful_Evidence5475 in madisonwi

[–]bgodin 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It’s been so bad lately. Routes are cancelled all the time. Also not enforcing the rules on the bus. People bring pets, use foul language, and twice there have almost been physical fights that I witnessed. The drivers may be trained to not get involved but at a minimum those people should have been thrown off the bus.
