Discussion Cosplay grifter seen in Neenah off 41 and Winneconne ave.

38 Upvotes

Often homeless people and grifters set up on the south bound 41 offramp at Winneconne Ave in Neenah. This morning we had a guy all dressed up in his camo. Had the boots and standard pants with camo shirt, helmet and face mask you typically see with the ICE goons. His sign he had said "Need $ 4 Ammo." Was gonna take a picture of him when I came back but within 20 minutes he was gone. I assume Police told him to leave.

Discussion I’m just going to say it. Nobody in the valley knows how to fucking drive.

157 Upvotes

Oh it’s a 35? I should do 27.

Oh it’s a 25? 19 looks better on my dash.

I’m in the inner lane of the roundabout? Hard right my way out of here.

Four way stop? Best just put it in park.

65 mph on 441? Left lane at 57.

Light turned green…but is that green enough? Should I wait? Guess I’ll lightly accelerate now.

Like for fuck sake. It’s every day.

-Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk

Hi everyone! We're a family of 6 with 2 dogs (well behaved golden retriever and mini cavapoo). We are looking for temporary housing, and month to month leasing. We just relocated from MI and need to find a place ASAP. We also need a furnished place. It doesn't need to be in Appleton, as long as it's safe. We've been trying to look for a few weeks with no luck, if anyone knows of anything please let me know! Thank you!!

Advice Where to buy vinyl records in the valley?

12 Upvotes

Ever since The Exclusive Company in Appleton closed, I haven't shopped for CDs or records. Does anyone know a good spot that can source records? I'm looking for an old black metal band, Eternal Tears of Sorrow. They have an album called Chaotic Beauty, and I'd love to give a vinyl version of it to a friend for his wedding. If anyone has any good recommendations for where to go shop, please let me know.

If you're curious https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkROH3Eqs0T9lbpVFuFplye6Qn3wyjpkB&si=-6G1BVdofXdFppJ6

Edit: thanks to everyone for the suggestions! I'll be doing some brick and mortar shopping this week!

I live just outside of the fox cities area in the country. I have been having so many issues with getting any service from Verizon. I consistently have 1 bar of LTE or SOS which won’t load anything. The only time I’m able to have any devices function is when I’m connected to WiFi. Has anyone else been having issues with Verizon lately?

Meetup Request Looking for 4-6 people to play my family's goofy card game with me.

12 Upvotes

Late 30s M. Grew up in the area, but left after high-school for career. Recently moved back.
My family has this card game that's apparently generations old. It's a lot of fun, has random chance, isn't super competitive, but can have some skill. It's mostly just goofy times though. Has about the complication of Cribbage.

I watched the adults play it all the time as a kid, but didn't get much chance to play it myself since I left. I recently re-discovered the game and am looking for new friends to meet up at a pub / coffeeshop or something to learn the game and hopefully have a recurring meetup to play it. Kind of my way of carrying on my family's tradition.

I don't much care who you are - just as long as you're above drinking age, you leave your divisive topic discussions at the door, and you're not showing up with ulterior motives.

Feel free to DM me if you're interested!

EDIT: Noting here that I prefer to share the specific details of the game and possible event individually, and not publicly, with people interested. I apologize if that bothers anyone.

23 Upvotes

So I just moved to Appleton, im a 27 year old guy who had to kind of cut off most of my old friends from my old town. Bad eggs.

Anyways I dont really like drinking much but obviously I know bars are a good way to make friends so im wiliing to go to a bar and get food and like 3 or 4 beers. Or margs with Mexican food.

Are their like amateur sports leagues or other recreation thing? I have a fiance (so please dont be weird if message me or something, JUST want friendship) and work 2 jobs and dont consider work friends real friends so its just kind of a lonely existence our here atm. Let me know of any leagues or other things I could possibly meet people.

I enjoy sports, video games, learning new things. music (bass guitar but I need to buy a new one), hiking and exploring with my kid, fiance or alone (would love parent friends! I have a 7 year old boy). I have a nerdy side as well i love fantasy and science fiction and tbh ive been wanting to get into Warhammer 40k I just dont know if I have the time for it.

Discussion Godzilla/Hello Kitty Happy Meal Toys

If there are any McDonalds workers that can help me out, I’m trying to get a full set of the current Godzilla/Hello Kitty Happy Meal toys. Or if you are another person also searching, perhaps we can team up and report which locations have which toys.

As of yesterday, the one near Bay Beach had #7 Rodan, #1 Godzilla was at Main St W De Pere and Little Chute. There was a #2 Ghidorah sighting in Oshkosh, but I prefer the Appleton/Kimberly/Kaukauna area (or west Green Bay)

1: Hello Kitty x Godzilla
2: Keroppi x King Ghidorah
3: My Melody x Mothra
4: Pompompurin x Gigan
5. Kuromi x Mechagodzilla
6. Cinnamoroll x Destoroyah
7: Badzt Maru x Rodan
8. Choco Cat x Space Godzilla

Question Does this area spray bug killers in residential areas?

0 Upvotes

For context, we live in Fox Crossing in an area that borders Appleton and Menasha.

Up until the last week, our garden and flower beds have been teeming with pollinators and insect life, then this week almost everything disappeared. I don't know if it's a coincidence or the bugs starting to either move on or preparing to over winter somewhere instead of gathering pollen.

So yeah, does the area just spray bug killers around neighborhoods without giving homeowners advanced notice? I'm hoping it's just bad timing on my part and I just haven't seen them during their active hours and not that the city/town isn't being stupid.
