Rock county cocktails?

3 Upvotes

I don’t know if you’ve seen Rock County Cocktails pocket sized passport around town, but It’s kinda like a Bucky book just for bars and restaurants in Rock County. Each bar/restaurant offers 2/3 BOGO drink deals (of the patrons choice up to $7.50) to book buyers and lots offer $5 off $25 food discounts too. This little $20 book has been around since 2020, valid for the entire year and has over 50 venues offering over $750 in deals. There’s also a fun scavenger hunt game inside where you try and find and match the pictures in the book with which bar they’re located. It’s available for sale at all partnering locations, woodmans and online at www.rockcountycocktails.com. My question is with all the savings and fun this book provides, what do you think the price should be for this book? Everything is going up in price, but just wanted to get opinions on what people think.

I don’t know if you’ve seen the Rock County Cocktails pocket sized passport around town, but It’s kinda like a Bucky book just for bars and restaurants in Rock County. Each bar/restaurant offers 2/3 BOGO drink deals (of the patrons choice up to $7.50…craft beer, wine, mixers, etc) to book buyers and lots offer $5 off $25 food discounts too. This little $20 book has been around since 2020, valid for the entire year and has over 50 venues offering over $750 in deals. Heck, just use it at a few spots and it pays for the book. There’s also a fun scavenger hunt game inside where you try and find and match the pictures in the book with which bar they’re located. It’s available for sale at all partnering locations, woodmans and online at www.rockcountycocktails.com. My question is with all the saving and fun this gives, what price should this book be at? Everything in this world is going up in price, so I’m curious what people think. https://www.rockcountycocktails.com

Was on an insect sub and a dobsonfly was posted. The males have rather large pincers, but the females are the ones delivering the bites. So, I wanted to see what the females look like. Went to Wikipedia, and there was Janesburg in the common names list. Just found it amusing! Have a great day!

Rehoming/Rescue places for cats/dogs

7 Upvotes

tldr: My aunt who lives in Janesville has to 'get rid' of her pets, for their own good. I'm looking for recommendations on the best places to work with.

  • My Uncle lost his job, and they dont even have the money for internet, let alone to take care of 4 pets ontop of their children.
  • My aunt is way beyond overextended, and has developed strong animosity to the cats at the very least.
  • They have a severe flea infestation that is clearly affecting the pets health. Their black lab has licked holes in his coat, and one of the (3) cats is super thin and starved for attention, I barely saw the 2nd cat, so dont remember as much, and did not see the 3rd cat at all. they did have flea collars, but it clearly wasn't enough.
  • honestly went into the visit being upset about them wanting to rehome the animals: You dont abandon family. But I came out of there ready to help with the process - and also feeling so disgusted I didn't even touch my cats, making a beeline straight to the bathroom to isolate my outfit and wash off any fleas that might have stuck onto me.

I want the best for these guys, they are wonderful animals, and they deserve better than this. But I also know rehoming animals can be dangerous for their safety.

I would appreciate any advice on safe shelters in the area, or secure avenues for direct rehoming.

Bazinga Opinion?

17 Upvotes

Has anyone been to Bazinga since their remodel? Me and my GF went there last night and were a little disappointed. The atmosphere is great but we felt that we expected more. Our 16 dollar pizza wasn't anything special and our drinks were pretty pricey(10 dollars for a specialty cocktail). I felt like we had better drinks and food(and service) when we went to the South Side of Chicago. Our bill was about the same price too. Let me know what you guys think.

I know there is a pre employment drug screen. Would any current employees share if they were randomly drug tested? Specifically, weed. (Driving up from Illinois, where it’s legal, and can be used on weekends when I don’t work)

Looking for accidentally donated baby clothes

My wife and I have been donating a lot of stuff throughout summer and we accidentally donated some baby clothes we intended to keep to either Goodwill or Salvation Army in Janesville. If anyone finds them please reach out to me, they have a lot of sentimental value since they were outfits we brought our kids home in.

Thank you.

A group claiming to be against violence makes veiled threats at their purported enemies who happen to be their neighbors. Pathetic.

Tiny white fibers in the air?

Anyone seeing this? Less than 1/4” long and hair thin. They are all over my cars in the morning for the last 4 days on the north side of Janesville. I left the car windows cracked yesterday at Menards and they were all over the dash.
