Romantic mini vacation?

Preferably on the cheaper side. I want to get away for a few days in February. Founds are on the lower side though (I was out of work for a few months due to health issues and bf just doesn’t want to spend too much lolol). Any suggestions as to cities to visit and places to stay would be appreciated thanks 🫶. I live close to Minnesota so some recommendations for over there are welcome too

Where does a young fella find a lady these days?

32 in Milwaukee. Never taught how to talk to people really. Been single since highschool. I live on my own but life would be pretty cool with someone to share it with. I guess I’m picky tho. And the people I like never like me lol probably how I look. Really skinny face. Glasses. Pointy nose. I mean I like the way I look (teeth could use work lol) but generally I don’t like HATE my face. It’s a fixer upper for sure. Is how I’d describe it haha I have two puppies a GSD and a mini Aussie collie. They are my world, my muse, my flame 😂

Anyone know what the deal is with 41?

Over the past month or so, traffic has been markedly slower on 41 as soon as you get up into Wisconsin. Does anyone know what might have happened?

An update on the Marbled Crayfish Story

Does anyone remember when I made a post last Sunday about my friend’s marbled crayfish? Well his house got raided today and he’s getting fined. I don’t know if they took the crayfish or not, but it looks like there will be no environmental disaster. I have since deleted the previous post because the DNR keeps getting swamped with reports about it. Other than that everything seems good.

Best extremely crunchy cheese curds

Im in Madison and Milwaukee for the next couple weeks. Looking for the best cheese curd places within a 1.5 hour drive. I like very crunchy curds. Almost like very battered as opposed to a light batter. Don't mind a lot of salt either. Any recs? Will be driving toward Chicago so anything kind of that way works as well.

Need recommendations for a psychiatrist that will actually listen and support me

My psychiatrist has left the practice which is probably for the best as he never really knew me, made a lot of assumptions about me, and totally screwed over my life with how he reported me to my insurance company.

I have tried to find a new one, but I have called so many and I'm so completely drained from fighting the insurance companies and my doctor and trying to live life while I can barely function.

I have Quartz insurance, so I think as long as we are both in Wisconsin, if they accept Quartz and do telehealth, I could technically "go" anywhere.

I need a psychiatrist that would help support my disability case (against an insurance company and social security). I have been completely out of income for a year. I cannot function. I had been doing Spravato (ketamine therapy for treatment resistant depression) but I was having really severe symptoms which caused me greater anxiety and aggravated my agoraphobia and suicidal ideation even more.

I am thoroughly broken, on a path to healing, but I cannot hold a job. I am not hirable material. I can barely force myself to shower. I can't brush my hair. I cannot tell you the last time I brushed my teeth. I eat crap out of a bag because I have nothing left to give to make myself any sort of decent meal. I have to have my groceries and food delivered because I can barely make it out of my driveway without a panic attack. My body is on high alert every minute of every day and people judge my responses as ridiculous when I get started ( I scream and/or gasp and/or jump and/or throw whatever is in my hand and/or kick out, etc.)

I am so tired and exhausted and I just need someone on my side so I don't have to keep fighting these companies by myself.

So do you know of a supportive, caring, will-fight-for-you kind of psychiatrist in Wisconsin that is taking new patient, accepts Quartz, and believes in helping their patients get on disability so they can continue to try and heal their trauma so it stops following them across employers?

Or if you know a lawyer that wants to help with cases like this?

Added info: Female 40s Lots of life trauma Previously on disability but held a job down just long enough to get kicked off Currently diagnosed MDD/TRD, PTSD, GAD/Agoraphobia Currently being tested to rule out other (personality) disorders and for autism (final report should be available after Feb 7th) Lives in southern Wisconsin Broke and broken

Thank you so much for any positive vibes, encouragement, information, relating, and reading through all this. I appreciate you.

Milwaukee or Madison?

Hi all, my gf and I are fortunate enough to both be working remote jobs currently, and we've decided we're going to live in a different state each month. I'm excited to see Wisconsin as a fan of colder weather, freshwater lakes, and Midwestern friendliness (at least compared to the east Coast sour face).

My question is, if you were going to come stay for a month, where would you choose?

Requirements/preferences:

  • train to Chicago
  • access to the parts of rural Wisconsin most worth seeing
  • city charm
  • the possibility to meet cool ppl with whom not every conversation will be about sports (I realize this is a tough one)

Not too worried about Madison being small as a month goes by fast and we'll be doing day trips in weekends. In my shoes, and knowing what you know, where would you stay for a month?

Supreme Court Justice Recuses Self

https://www.wkow.com/news/conservative-wisconsin-supreme-court-justice-steps-aside-in-pivotal-union-rights-case/article_7f8d1a54-5ed3-5ef3-a99c-f1b1128249b6.html

I have always been someone on the left, but seeing the Supreme Court Judge who drafted Act 10 recuse himself is refreshing to see.

I really hope the public workers get their bargaining rights back.
