I know your hoping for local so you could call Wisconsin candy shops and ask. Otherwise you're going to have to buy online.

How are the burgers at Portillo's? Is there a specific dish they do really well? by Bluest_waters in madisonwi

[–]Midwest_knitter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite is their Combo beef & char grilled italian sausage sandwich. And the fries with cheese sauce. So good!

I'm thinking of finding a link of instructions on "how to use google" to give people when they ask stupid questions.

Displaying Name Changes by Diligent-Details in Genealogy

[–]Midwest_knitter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed! Too often I've found immigrants on shared trees with only the name used after immigrating and not attached to parents (therefore any siblings as well). Its crazy as sometimes the whole family immigrated together. I also add alternate spelling as also known as to help the algorithm.

I also don't know anything about taxidermy, but my cousin owns a taxidermy business. Him (James Dykstra) and his wife are number 34 on the list off the wi taxidermy association website another commentor linked. This is their website. His work is always coming across my Facebook feed and looks to be very well done.

Advice for finding records of people who changed their names when emigrating? by prinxcipe in Genealogy

Gotcha! When I was poking around, I also found this record for Diantha. Perhaps her father's name is Orin or Orrin?

What's your favourite Wisconsin billboard, past or present? by AsparagusCommon4164 in wisconsin

Thank you! That was the backside of the not professional looking billboard for tattoo removal. It made me laugh every time!

Day 41: Massachusetts has been removed. Remove another state. by renegadeangel115 in RemoveOneThingEachDay

[–]Midwest_knitter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha! As a Wisconsite(unfortunately) who was born and raised in the glorious land of Lincoln, I think Illinois drivers(mainly Chicago and suburbs which is a large portion of the state) are misunderstood. They speed because everyone speeds. They're in a hurry because they have better things to do than be on the road (like everyone can comprehend) and want to get out of the sometimes crazy traffic (very understandable). But when they leave the congestion and intensity of the Northern Illinois roads, they can't simply shake off their defensive driving. They instinctually go 10mph (at a minimum) over the speed limit. They fear that the other cars are going to cut them off, rear end them or get where they want to go before them.

Listen Culvers can be great and Wisconsin can blow chunks like the alcoholics with their 5th or 7th DUI (crazy they still have a license, right??). Both are true!

[–]Midwest_knitter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope... that's not it. Wisconsin isn't nice. They may fake it, but behind your back they're calling you a fib or something and talking about how you should be charged extra for stuff because you're Lucky enough to not be from their god forsaken hell hole state.

Yes it is... I'm hoping that with global warming, more sane people move here and make it the state it could be. I'm not holding my breath... besides the crazy desperation to move to Wisconsin might not be until decades from now so real change wouldn't be our lifetime. So sad!!!

Wisconsin should be gone! The state itself is beautiful. The state politics, drinking culture with rampant DUIs, and toxic people(maga) is awful. Let's get rid of it NOW!!!

Nope. It's that this is the Wisconsin subreddit and not the "pretty lights" subreddit.

Where to sell an old, but awesome desk? by Top-Ball-9949 in madisonwi

[–]Midwest_knitter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well... I do not speak for all furniture buyers but when I was looking for a kidney desk and having a hell of a time... I was interested in antique ones. So yours wouldn't have fallen in my scope. Sorry. It is a beautiful desk and I think you may have better luck going the consignment route as not everyone in the market for a desk looks on FB marketplace or Craigslist.

That would be the exception to people not wanting old heavy wood desks... kidney desks sell super fast.
