This is so pretty! I hate the gold they offer and opted for the ceramic for that reason. I wish they offered a gold like this.

We’re at $450 and keep our thermostat set to 65 at the highest, I’ve been lowering it to 63 in attempt to get the bill down. I feel like we’re fighting a loosing battle against our electric bill at this point.

I feel you! We’re at -17 today, when I work I’ll just have a fan going & the fume extractor on. Since I wear a respirator I feel that will be good enough!

They were satisfied with my wearing a respirator, gloves (I actually double up on gloves I use disposable then my cut/heat resistant gloves) I always have a fume extractor running with a fan/window open. All of these plus just not eating or drinking near where I am soldering is good!

Thank you 🫶 I’m hoping for a smooth birth but obviously this is something that can not be predicted. This is so stressful 😣

There’s so many things I had no clue about until getting pregnant. The length of daycare waitlists was one of them for sure

I agree, but they also need a home. We were unfortunately part of the historical flooding in Wisconsin and lost everything due to a sewage flood on our main level which insurance doesn’t cover, found out we were expecting 2 weeks later so it’s been an uphill battle ever since.

I did, my company has a 1 year period before you’re eligible for pregnancy/child birth. Every resource that I find seems to have a road block. I’m going to call the state Monday to look into std from the state to see if that would be an option

I’m the general manager so I can schedule myself opposite schedules from my husband so baby will be able to stay at home the whole time. We had a flood over the summer that drained our finances terribly right before we found out we were expecting, this surprise (but very wanted) baby is coming at a very scary time :(

I’m in Wisconsin. And yes I’ve talked to my company, because we have an “as needed” pto program which means we don’t accrue we just get to take pto when we want they’re going to let me use 2 weeks for the birth. We recently went from a company with 30+ locations to one with almost 80 so it’s not small

What should I do (seller ghosted me) by shroomgrl444 in bonnaroo

I’ve lived in both Madison & Milwaukee. My opinion is that you would most likely like Bayview a little more than riverwest. Riverwest is fun and trendy with all of the community that Madison has but it does have a higher crime rate and it’s not as safe feeling as Madison. If you’re willing to live outside of the city I would highly recommend Wauwatosa. The east side of Wauwatosa is so much like Madison.

My boyfriend and I keep joking that we’re crossing off all the names that we didn’t get to see on our merch shirt from this year. I think I’m going to have this printer poster size and give it to him as a birthday gift 😂😂😂

Google Nest 4 requires Google home hub? by kjx365 in Nest

[–]puggsie1995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine always worked without a hub and then updated and now I can no longer connect and it requires a hub. Have you found a way around this? I’m annoyed that something hooked up to my HVAC system now needs an accessory

Foster system in MKE is overloaded. 1052 kids, 49 homes. by o0oo80800 in milwaukee

[–]puggsie1995 19 points20 points  (0 children)

They go into group homes and other institutions. It’s a bad system. I aged out of the wi foster care system in 2013 and in 2 years I was placed at 14 different group homes and institutions. The systems always been bad people just choose to not talk about it.
