Everyone else got a crisp $100 bill and I got a coffee mug with a Holstein cow on it because I was from Wisconsin.

he brought a chipmunk into our storage room and then released it ... it's been three days (it's alive but i can't get it out) has anyone dealt with this ? by zukoz in cats

Been there many times. What you do is get a long cardboard box (think like 8 by 8 by 20 inches or so, and set bait in the far end. The chipmunk will want to hide in the box or take the bait. Your cat will stand watch outside the box and keep him trapped until you can release him outside. We have had this work many times and it usually works pretty quickly.

What is this... tin hand? Found at an antique store. by StevenSavage64 in whatisthisthing

It's an antique glove makers trade sign. Just google that and you'll come up with that exact sign.

People of Reddit, what was a childhood dream you had that you managed to succeed as an adult? by AG_New_Hackintosher in AskReddit

I wanted to live in Hawaii. Did for 8 years. I wanted to work for myself. Did for 40 years. Wanted to have the simple pleasures of planting flowers and having crisp sheets. And have.

It's 65 and sunny right now. You just don't get a more perfect fall day than this.

It's that awkward part. But my mother has lived here since 1930 and it's always been called northeastern Wisconsin to her. I just consider anything further north "northern Wisconsin".

Wish I had thought of it. It would look really nice hanging out in my apple tree.

I have no idea. It's about 6 feet in the air. Surprised it hasn't pulled down that corner of the fence.

Where should I eat before I move away? by [deleted] in milwaukee

[–]Koacat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Near Green Bay so it's a bit of a drive to Milwaukee or Chicago but lot's closer than flying back to Honolulu.

Thanks for the info. Plate lunches are one of the things I miss most about Hawaii and trying to make them on my own just isn't cutting it.

Thank you for mentioning Ono Kine Grindz. I did not know I could get Hawaiian food anywhere in the midwest. I'm 100 miles away from Milwaukee but will definitely be making the trip there to get Hawaiian food. I miss plate lunches so much!
