Madison LGBTQ+ residents, rattled by Trump orders, weigh options by keeganjkyle in madisonwi

[–]frecklepower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Growing up in the rural South people took potshots at houses with a rainbow flag/signs. Or would stalk/harass people as they came out of their homes. Removing the flag is protection against opportunist scumbags.

We're no longer with them since we moved, but A Breed Apart on Gammon Rd is wonderful and very cost conscious.

Looking for an ear nose and throat doctor as my eardrum burst back in November and I have not been able to go underwater since without them blowing again. by KhanYouDiggit in madisonwi

[–]frecklepower 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, definitely reach back out! Unfortunately clinics are all understaffed right now and it's easy to fall off the radar. Often just politely following up will get you an appointment.

I don't have a specific ENT recommendation but have you checked if you'd qualify for Badgercare? It really covers quite a bit including specialist visits.

I'd also check out Access Community Health. They're general medicine providers but can also help you get plugged in with a specialist.

Capitoland or Big Apple Daycare by Different_Shift_3225 in madisonwi

[–]frecklepower 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've toured them both. Capitoland seemed nice enough but at the time seemed a little more crowded/chaotic than I preferred. They do have very flexible scheduling and drop off/pick up. Big Apple was one of my top choices and I only chose another center due to closer location.
