On Two big nights for pork fans

my husband was in the drive thru line for 45 minutes yesterday, only to get to the front & be told they ran OUT of chops!!!
why couldn't they post a sign so people wouldn't waste their time (and GAS) waiting!?!?!?
I'm calling to complain--as soon as I find a phone number!

The Who was HORRIBLE!! Their voices have changed too much as they have aged--compared to P. McCartney's whose voice sounds about the same. We had trouble recognizing the songs based on the vocals alone! (we grew up in the late 60/early 70's)
On The face of homelessness in Janesville

I am apalled that the previous post sends their child to a "Christian" school, but is "UNCOMFORTABLE" providing basic support to these men!!! My God, woman, did you not read the story? These men are not there (in the shelter) by choice! Yes, some of them may have done some stupid things, but what about the men that lost their jobs due to their health?!? Because you have bad GENES, you are a BAD PERSON?!???
For example: If you are a truck driver with a CDL (Commercial Driver's License) and you have diabetes that cannot be managed without insulin, you LOSE YOUR CDL!!! Now, you explain to me how that person is GUILTY of some infraction!
Not a very Christian attitude in my opinion!

that's exactly what I mean, Macdaddy. JTS is a small town system & small town systems are generally used by disabled, elderly & kids--those that can not drive. Janesville is not big enough to support buses going everywhere in the area. JTS does a pretty good job with what they have to work with.

Short buses are something JTS has considered, but they cost $$ too & lots of it. Then, what route do you put them on? Believe it or not, not every route runs empty all day long. There are "peek" times when the buses may have standing room only--if there were short buses, JTS would have to turn passengers away! About the only place it makes sense to have short buses is on Nightside, but does the benefit outweigh the cost of buying special buses for Nightside? So far, the studies done IN HOUSE have said no.
Public transit is very widely used in larger cities. And larger cities (like Madison & Milwaukee) is where light rail would be located & USED. JTS is attempting to serve the entire town without a lot of resources. For the people that need the JTS, they don't run often enough or go to enough places.
On Mercy trauma center is keeping patients in town

I honestly thought Mercy East's Urgent Care was open 24/7. I apologize if I was incorrect in that. I do understand sick, crying children.

yes, it would be nice to have the route alternated. Yes, we do live on a busy street, which is part of why I think they should move the route.
Yes, I had issues w/angelwings last year, but since her boyfriend kicked her out, that problem has been solved.
We expected noise on our street when we bought the house, but 30 minutes of that ROAR is ridiculous. I would be happy to support the run...if it was somewhere else.

Why go to the ER for an ear infection? Why not go to Urgent Care? That is the reason the ER gets so bogged down--inconsiterate people that use it like a doctor's office--and then have the balls to COMPLAIN it took too long!

I'm probably going to get slammed for this, but I live on the run's route & I don't enjoy the noise or the "parade". Why is it ALWAYS the same route??? Why can't it be changed a little bit so the same residents aren't subjected to it year after year?
We are going out of town to avoid it tomorrow, but there was one year (first that we lived here) that we didn't know what the heck was going on & couldn't get home until it was over.
Yes, it's a good cause, but I just think the route should be changed yearly--perhaps have two different routes that can be alternated...?

On Three cats die in house fire

Cats will hide when they are scared. They were probably hunkered down someplace really small.
One of my cats would be greeting the firefighters, the other 2 would be hiding & no one would be able to find them.
