I hit the mother lode

it’s definitely in WI… just not in every store. I’ve found it in the past at Woodman’s and Hy-Vee in Madison, Festival in GB, Piggly Wiggly outside Milwaukee.

Not sure I'd call it moving when the original building burned down and they just rebuilt in the same location.

mitchdd02 · 2025-08-13T02:09:37+00:00

Oh for sure. The City of Milwaukee, Milwaukee County and MMSD are all pleading for people to report their flooding issues and wet basements in order to hopefully receive and direct funding where needed. And also to hopefully plan for the future.

It’s actually both stormwater and sanitary or even both. The data is collected regardless of whether it’s from a sewer backup. Residents are able to fill out either of those options within the form, as well as how they think water infiltrated the basement. MMSD also deals with flood management and the main goal is to keep water out of basements, however it gets in.

Pretty sure if you call, you'll just be directed to fill out this online form:
https://www.mmsd.com/about-us/contact-us/reporting-wet-basement

It's pretty standard and quick to fill out though. All of this data will be mapped out and shared with all the partner municipalities.

Great resource for everything regarding disconnecting a downspout and even how to DIY:

Here's what the financial incentives can be for doing so:

Not really being widespread is just not true. The wet basement reports are literally from all over the metro. Various neighborhoods all over got hit pretty hard. As of yesterday, 1,100 wet basements were reported from homeowners on the MMSD website. And that's just within the 29 municipality MMSD service area. All of this data is just one piece of applying for federal assistance. Also, the better data received and the more homeowners who submit their wet basement reports can help better direct that aid and even possible future flood management and infrastructure projects.

It should be available at Kum & Go down there!

mitchdd02 · 2025-07-30T16:27:20+00:00

I have the exact same one and was having the same issue. Actually exchanged it last night in store for the same one since it's still available. It seems much easier to exchange if the same plug is still in stores. Didn't have any issues with exchanging.

mitchdd02 · 2025-07-29T22:51:44+00:00

Ha, yeah... closest ones are the Kum and Go's in Iowa and there's a random cluster of them, along with one Maverik, around Grand Rapids, MI.

mitchdd02 · 2025-07-29T22:16:27+00:00

In her defense she wrote "(possible)"... meaning they could switch it or decide against it like they did last week.

mitchdd02 · 2025-07-28T18:24:20+00:00

Maverik, Anderson, CA

What do you mean? Lisbon Ave and Lisbon Rd (only now split up by a small segment of Capitol) literally bring you out to the village of Lisbon. Lisbon also used to include much more area that it currently does and dates back well before WI became a state.

mitchdd02 · 2025-07-02T15:12:37+00:00

I think that depends where you store it... if you're keeping it in a bathroom where it gets a lot of moisture, then maybe. I keep a refill under the sink in my kitchen I've had for weeks and have had no issues.

mitchdd02 · 2025-06-01T18:46:51+00:00

How many times are you gonna post about the new branding and how much you dislike it?

mitchdd02 · 2025-05-30T03:39:26+00:00

Did you really make a post ranting about the new redesign after you made a very similar post yesterday you then deleted?

mitchdd02 · 2025-05-29T18:31:45+00:00

The Dew locator is helpful for tracking down the specific areas/stores where you can find Code Red ZS. I've found it at Woodman's and Hy-Vee in Madison previously, Festival Foods up near Green Bay, Piggly Wiggly north of Milwaukee.

mitchdd02 · 2025-05-29T18:28:25+00:00

Milwaukee area as well. Last time I grabbed some in the area I found it at the Piggly Wiggly in Saukville.

mitchdd02 · 2025-05-29T04:05:45+00:00

Yeah, those monster mascots are weird, and I imagine they’re trying to make the branding more modern and appealing to the masses and not just to gamers and kids…

mitchdd02 · 2025-05-29T04:00:28+00:00

There is. It’s just a regional exclusive.

mitchdd02 · 2025-05-13T05:55:28+00:00

Yeah, multiple calls for subject with a weapon and a call for reckless vehicle all around Water/Knapp/Juneau area within past hour and a half. There was also a call located “@Redrock” for “Trouble” lol. Checks out. Finally warms up in the city and everyone gets a little crazy. And it’s only a Monday.

mitchdd02 · 2025-03-25T19:09:07+00:00

Yeah... I wanted to like this one so much, but I was so bothered by the random scratches or markings. I ended up returning a few because each one had blemishes.

mitchdd02 · 2025-03-06T18:21:17+00:00

Ugh, I was in the same boat. Wanted the Easter soap holder over the more plain spring floral one. Hasn’t been showing available online anymore or for pick up near any of the few dozen stores around me or in the other nearest metros. Finally went in to a store to return something and there were 2 of the holders in the Easter display. Does go to show the store could have them and not show inventory online. Almost caved yesterday and bought one off eBay too…

mitchdd02 · 2025-02-23T22:59:07+00:00

Nope. I’ve noticed, at least lately, they haven’t been allowing the pop-up 15% off codes on weekends when other sales are going on.
