    Shooting Ranges in the Area

    Hey all,

    I just moved here recently and was wondering where some good spots to shoot firearms are at. From a smaller area, where we had an unsupervised range with a bunch of berms, no range safety officers or pay required, where anything goes basically.

    Looking for a similar range, hoping to shoot rifles and handguns. I personally just prefer to not have someone breathing down my neck and I trust my fellow man to not blow my head off or leave trash everywhere. Does this exist in this area? Thanks.

    Comedy open mics

    I'm trying to get into the comedy scene here, I've signed up for the comedy on state open mic 6 weeks in a row and haven't gotten a spot. Not complaining or anything just wondering if there are any other spots in the same vicinity and what the sign up procedure is like for them. Big thanks.

    Subletting

    Is it difficult to sublet in the Madison area in winter? We’re subletting a 2 bedroom apartment in a great location in Sun Prairie and aren’t getting as much traction as I expected. Thoughts?

    Dentist recommendations

    Hello! I don’t know if this is the right place to look but I am looking for a dentist to help me with upper and lower bridges and crowns. I’m a little overwhelmed with my search. I am looking for somewhere that is sensitive to anxiety and maybe could even put me completely under for the procedure. I am in Madison but would be willing to travel.

    Have any of you had an excellent experience somewhere? I’d be paying out of pocket, no insurance. Thank you!

    My Voting Activity says No Voting History

    New WI voter here and new to voting in general. We moved in August and I voted via Mail in Ballot that was dropped in a drop box. A week ago my absentee status said my ballot was received but now it’s back to “start here to request an absentee ballot” and it’s showing that I have no voting history. I know that it says it may take 45 days to show up, but is it normal to have absolutely no record of me voting in this election?

    If you’ve voted in WI let me know if this is how the website normally is or if I should be concerned.

    Did woodmans app get rid of the ability to see aisle number for products?

    I just used it a couple of weeks ago and it was showing aisle numbers and bays of items. I tried using it again today, and it wasn't showing them anymore. It was just saying things like "freezer" or "dairy". It was set to the specific store I was in too. Am I being dumb and just not seeing it?

    I spent 15 damn minutes looking for the pre made quiches, found and asked an employee who didn't even know what a quiche was, then gave up and went to pick n save. Bonus question, where are the quiches located? Lol

    Does anyone have any experience with Middleton Baby and Childcare?

    I just found out I’m expecting. I was told to get on daycare waitlists early, so I reached out to several places that I found online. Middleton Baby & Childcare has been the first to get back to me, and said they could schedule a tour next week.

    Prices are steep, and they’re a bit out of the way, but they have a 5-star YoungStar rating and have been established for a long time.

    I’m struggling to find online reviews. Would anyone (pretty please) share their experience with this provider? Should I jump on this? I’m still waiting on three other places that also have high YoungStar ratings, are a bit cheaper, and a bit closer, but who knows if any of them will get back to me.

    Where to find unusual eggs?

    Had an idea for Thanksgiving to make deviled eggs a little differently. Are there any farms around selling exotic eggs, like ostrich? Really anything other than chicken, just to switch things up.

    Looking for First Responder Training

    A few events recently, including the election, have made me want to receive first responder training. Stabilization, CPR, emergency first aid, etc. I'm hoping folks here can recommend a good place to take a course and get certified, etc.

    Edit: Thanks for these. I'm starting with an adult/pediatric first aid/CPR/aed course through the Red Cross and I'll ask them for recommendations for other courses there! I'm also super tempted by the wilderness first responder course.

    Casual but excellent food

    Hi, my wife and I don’t get too many opportunities to go out without the kids, but tonight is one of those opportunities! We have had a run of bad luck though… the past few times have been “meh” at the best. We aren’t looking to dress up, but we are looking for a WOW with the food. We are open to all kinds of food, and budget isn’t a problem. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
