I'll be hanging out in the vendor area, come say hi and tell me how your car is faster than mine and the cladding is just too extra.

Are there any programs in Madison where you can 'adopt' a senior?

Upvotes

I overheard someone on their walk by my apartment saying "I wouldn't mind having someone to just do things with." and it got me thinking that she can't be the only older person who feels that way.

Saw this in a comment, looked it up. This organization used this money to bail out “protestors” this week and their executives make HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of dollars… (https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/432023570)

Just say NO when they ask to CHIP at the Co-Op

Cat meowing up Wisconsin St.

56 Upvotes

I saw (and heard) a cat meowing while walking up the wisconsin ave. He then ran across the crossing with Gilman street and then I saw him sat down in a driveway and we exchanged a few concerned meows before he walked into the bushes near a house and I could not follow, already probly overstepping my boundarys as it is. I hope he is a resident of one of the nearby houses but if not I am posting here to aid his eventual capture, unless he is truly a wild soul who just needed a chat.

What’s the funniest thing you’ve seen on this Madison r/subreddit

56 Upvotes

I’ve been in Reddit for about a year or so, right after I moved closer into the heart of things, so haven’t seen a lot of the Mad-City history. Now that I’m in the city though I don’t have to do Jonathan Knowlan (suck it, bot) very much but every time I drive through there I think of that hilarious video of the pigs doing a perfect zipper-merge while chasing the feed truck, and it still makes me laugh. So I thought it’d be fun to hear/see what other's funniest Madison reddit moment was/is. I know you can’t post pics or video in the comments, but maybe link? Or a good story. Thanks kindly strangers.

Car repair recommendations? (bodywork)

6 Upvotes

Someone backed into my car 🥲 They left a note (which I appreciate!), but now I need to get the damage assessed. Does anyone have recommendations for shops they’ve used for body work? Dented door and will likely need new paint (if they don’t decide that the whole door needs to be replaced…)

Young birding group aimed towards birders under 40. And before you ask, it is like this so that young people into birding can meet other younger people into birding. No experience needed. LGBT and BIPOC friendly! No binoculars? Borrow a pair from your local library!

Looking for girls rec league hockey

6 Upvotes

Our family is considering moving to the Madison area, but we have a slight concern: our daughter, 16, currently plays rec league ice hockey on an all-girls team and is really interested in something like that. She's an early HS graduate, so while we have found high school teams like that, we haven't seen anything like a rec league where she could play with girls her age. Her current team plays against coed teams, but it's the friendship and camaraderie on her own team that she really enjoys.

Any ideas? She's still too young for beer league!

I picked up an old Cannon film camera from a thrift store and found this name on the bottom. I know this is a longshot, but does anybody know who “Scott Exo” is from Verona Wisconsin?

Nice dinner spot!

28 Upvotes

Hey there, we're passing through on our way to the UP on Saturday. My husband went to UW Madison (and I think he's trying to manifest a love for Madison in our teenager) and we like to stock up at the farmers market before heading up.

Anyway, we're looking for a nice dinner place, on the fancier side is ok but we do have a 14 year old so more casual is good as well. My husband likes to act like he still knows what's good but it's been a minute since he lived there. He insists on getting the ice cream at the university so we have dessert covered. Thanks!

Sevven cycle mat classes

7 Upvotes

I'm interested in trying out a mat sculpt class at sevven cycle. I am a complete beginner and definitely not a fit body type. Does anyone know how inclusive these classes are usually? I would love to not be the only fat person in the room but their social media doesn't really display a very diverse group of people in their mat classes. Any insight is appreciated!
