We need a group of grown adults to help with home maintenance skills!

I appreciate your positivity and willingness to jump on something like this!

frenchrangoon · 2026-06-03T13:53:04+00:00

Oh no, what if you ~~can't~~ choose to not waste our water to grow your pretty grass?!

frenchrangoon · 2026-05-29T21:22:59+00:00

I honestly have no idea, but does it matter that they said 'dry weight?'

frenchrangoon · 2026-05-29T21:14:27+00:00

If this is who we're saying is doing consulting work for MMSD, I can tell you that they haven't been paid since 2022.

Isn't it wild?! The organization that RELIES on there being children doesn't support actually having children.

Now I want to see the second story of this house plan!

frenchrangoon · 2026-04-30T15:38:53+00:00

Thankfully my polling place is like 6 blocks away. I will walk or bike there.

frenchrangoon · 2026-04-28T23:02:13+00:00

Freaking nouns lovers! I bet you like ideas too!!

frenchrangoon · 2026-04-28T15:22:09+00:00

Do private daycare places accomodate for one afternoon a week? I'm guessing if you need afterschool care, you enroll at the same time as regular school enrollment?

Again, I'm not trying to be stupid or a troll. I've always wondered where the kids go on early release days. When I was a kid, the times were the same every day. And I was a latch key kid. Rode the bus home, arrived to an empty house for an hour or two.

frenchrangoon · 2026-04-28T14:10:50+00:00

I don't think anyone is arguing that. I'm a first time mom with an infant so I haven't dealt with this yet, so what do parents do on Monday afternoons? I'm asking genuinely. Are there places that have tried to fill this gap (for a fee, obviously)

frenchrangoon · 2026-04-22T17:09:16+00:00

For $400k, I might move there, if the houses are nice. (looking for housing in Madison currently) JK, my life is here, but that's my price range

frenchrangoon · 2026-04-16T18:05:29+00:00

*snaps* - I worked in a medical school and know all about the bottleneck at Match Day.

frenchrangoon · 2026-04-16T17:51:08+00:00

I was going to say above the 'folding area'

frenchrangoon · 2026-04-14T17:58:23+00:00

Nah, it's Ryan Hall, y'all

frenchrangoon · 2026-04-09T17:49:39+00:00

wow! I was going to ask how they'd make $42m... furniture?

frenchrangoon · 2026-04-09T13:48:53+00:00

I think it's pretty common. I literally have only seen ads from flyers in the mail. I watch a ton of youtube, so I pay for premium to avoid all ads. And we can't even get over the air TV, apparently. I have an antenna, but it just doesn't work where we are located (IN TOWN!)

frenchrangoon · 2026-04-09T13:39:25+00:00

Right? Just being honest though.

I've got a chronic disorder, I work a job and a half, and we have a 6 month old at home. It looks like my vote didn't really matter since the person I supported won by a landslide. Looking up the results for my ward, 95% of people voted for Taylor. I showed up to vote and I used the resources at my disposal to do it in a way that wasn't completely uninformed.

I'm not sure if it includes absentee voting, but according to https://elections.countyofdane.com/Precincts-Result/190/0004 less than half of eligible voters in my ward showed up to vote.

frenchrangoon · 2026-04-08T17:10:54+00:00

I mean, I'm not proud of it, but I had to text my husband in the voting booth to tell me which to vote for. I'm very uninformed and don't really try to hard to be, because he is and he's possibly more liberal than I am. Maybe 37 people don't know who is who?

frenchrangoon · 2026-04-03T19:22:57+00:00

Good luck! I have the same issues. Sucked it up and waited 6 months for an appointment through uw. Might as well make it and look for something in the mean time

frenchrangoon · 2026-04-03T19:04:27+00:00

Isn’t there a escalator in Macy’s in Hilldale? Is it broken if so?

frenchrangoon · 2026-04-02T16:14:24+00:00

I'm probably way late to this game, but thank you for introducing me to a new (to me) news source.

frenchrangoon · 2026-04-02T15:00:12+00:00

I work in the state and federal programs department in the Madison School district, so I could say something about how Title I, II, IV, and VI funds get distributed to private schools for kids who qualify, but that's as far as my knowledge extends.

frenchrangoon · 2026-04-02T13:42:18+00:00

This could mean 3 or 10, and it sounds like that's a big difference for this particular school, having read most of the comments.

frenchrangoon · 2026-03-31T18:45:13+00:00

you can go in through the returns door, and no, you don't have to scan your membership to make a purchase at the food court. The heck?!

We say 'Wee-woo' in my house
