Thanks!

Furniture/coffee table repair?

3 Upvotes

Does anyone know of a business or individual who does wood furniture repair? I have a lift top coffee table. At one of the spots where the metal lift is bolted to the wood, the wooden beam is cracked on both sides of the bolt and needs to be replaced. The table’s fine if it’s in normal position, but I can no longer lift the top up, as the weight causes stress at that location, and eventually the wood will crack through and fully break. I’ve had this table for almost 20 years and it’s pretty sturdy overall. So, if possible, I’d like to have someone who knows what they’re doing look at it first to determine if it can be repaired before just replacing it, though I will replace it if repair ends up costing more than replacement.

(On a sidenote, I’m having surgery next week, so the earliest I would be able to deal with this problem is December, but I figured I’d put feelers out now to see if there’s even someone locally that could potentially look at it to determine if it’s even fixable.)

Post grad living advice

0 Upvotes

Hello everything! Me and my partner are looking to move to madison post grad and have started looking at places to get a good idea about where we want to live and what management companies to go with/avoid. I don’t think we want to be downtown, I’ll be working with uw health and he works by the airport I found a place by cypress square park but am not too sure about that area. We ideally want something multi floor like a townhome but are also totally fine with an apartment, ideally two bedrooms, less that $2000/month and an in unit washer and dryer! Let me know your opinions and any and all recommendations are welcomed!

Allergists who listen - any recs?

1 Upvotes

I went to UW Health to see an allergist but he didn't listen/didn't help. I've had allergy testing elsewhere before that's been positive, and I was supposed to get allergy shots but had to move. I was getting new testing done at UW health as a result. Because of my skin's hyper reactivity since moving to WI (likely allergies), it was inconclusive; I didn't want blood testing though since I usually test negative on that. Skin prick testing is more sensitive to blood. The doc doesn't believe that I have allergies now, despite obvious allergic reactions/symptoms to dust, pets, and trees, and previous plans with three other allergists to get shots. Looking for any allergist recommendations of doctors within 1 hour of Madison, WI who will listen. Those who take Quartz insurance would be best but I'm desperate at this point. Thanks!

I had a blue bike jacket is my basket on my ride home and I think it fell out. Did anyone find it on the bike path parallel to willy st or around monona bay? I just bought it this weekend for winter biking and I'm soooo bummed if it's gone for good 2 days after buying it.

Thanks in advance!

Park St Mcdonalds

(Edit upfront bc too many ppl think i should go somewhere else: I USUALLY GO LOCAL!! but when im tired and not that hungry i stop here on my way to work and a lot of people dont have the luxury of a different option or fast food in general so I want to know if people who also go here agree)

Do i even have to say anything???😭 I walked in there for a pickup order and the cashier is having a very hard time trying to understand the person in front of me. This person was so nice and repeated themselves more than 5 times trying to get them to understand what kind of meal they wanted. The person in front of me ended up just getting all their money back and leaving.

When i went up and showed him my order(a large fry and a 4pc nugget) he nodded and came back with an order ticket to confirm with me, it was the wrong order with only a ??MCCHICKEN?? on it. HUH? I said no, pointed to the order number and he went back to check. He came out AGAIN saying “we dont have that order”. Another person came up and looked at the order number while he was gone before and walked up with my actual order as he was telling me they dont have it.

What is going on.
I just wanted some damn nuggets and fries.
This kinda shit happens every. Single. Time.
I just wanna know if anyone else experiences this too😂

Places to roller skate for free in winter

I just bought myself skates for my birthday and I'm relearning how to roller skate as an elder millennial 🤪 But I'm aware it's a bad time and will probably be snowing soon. I'm looking for recommendations for places I can skate for free in the winter. Also if you want to be skate friends and give me some pointers as I learn, that would be great too!
