The police need to get a leg up on this investigation.

towhaul - That's great but when you need an air conditioner to get you through another midwestern summer, you'll have to go without. Air conditioners come from China; even if it's assembled here in Wisconsin (as some of them are) or proudly advertise "Made in the USA", the parts come from overseas. Hope your super special root beer keeps you cool enough.

Nice headline. And here I thought we were ridding Janesville of an entire demographic.

That's awesome. I get so sick of hearing people complain about living next to a busy area (bar, night club, school, etc.) when they moved in AFTER the noisy place was there. It's nice to see people making the best of it for a change.

I get the same experience walking into places like an auto parts store, hardware store, GNC...any male dominated place. It's hard not to generalize based on personal experience, and I'm not sure you'd want to. Yes, when a pretty blonde girl walks into Home Depot with a glazed look in her eyes, salespeople will flock. Not always a bad thing.

I was at Peace Park today and saw smokers also, and I thought it was inappropriate. No one blew smoke in my face, but it blew my way because of the breeze, and once I walked right through a cloud of it. I thought it was illegal to smoke inside a park but maybe I'm wrong. At the very least I thought it was in bad taste (pun intended).

I certainly don't teach my children by starving them. If I forget my lunch or just don't have time to make it, I have other options. I don't let myself go hungry. A 7-yr-old has the attention span of a gnat. As a mother it is ultimately YOUR responsibility to make sure he's done what you've asked. Shame on you.

On Janesville fire victims receive flood of donations
Posted on December 23 at 4 p.m. ( Suggest removal )
I understand Nicksmom completely and I think that to judge her based on these few comments are extremely short-sighted. I, too, tend to take a more pragmatic approach to situations like this. Whenever there is a benefit or donations needed for any cause, I don't just rush to give, I find out the facts first, because leaving out a small detail could change the situation greatly. As an example, when I first heard of this fire I wanted to know how it started. Why should that matter, you ask? Well, if a Christmas tree went up in flames, that would be one thing. If their meth lab blew up, it be something else entirely. (Thankfully it was not something as sinister as the latter!) But you get my drift. I also know firsthand how a few bad apples go to great lenghts to rape the charity system, so yes, it prevents me from just blindly giving, and I make no apologies for that. I'm just making sure my efforts and time and money are going where they should be going. I don't trust everything I see and hear. I also wondered "do they have insurance?" Not that either answer would change the fact that they have been through an awful tragedy and desperately need to replace their things, but it's one thing if they just need a few things to get by and another if they have absolutely no way to replace those things on their own. The details DO matter.

I was going to go through all of my kids' clothes and toys to see if there was anything I could give to the little boy, but I held back. Why? Not because I don't want to share my used things (quite the contrary), but because I was sure that this community's businesses would come forth with an outpouring of money and gifts for brand new items that would be much better than any old hand-me-downs I could offer. If I'm wrong, please correct me and I will be glad to help out. I just know there are other unfortunate folks all over the city that need things too, they're just not front page news.

Best of luck to the Tueschers, glad everyone was safe (that was my biggest worry) and I hope you guys can turn tragedy into a Christmas miracle!
