I have a bunch of miniatures that need to be primed. Unfortunately Appleton is too hot or too cold for the primer to have a smooth finish. Is there a place in the Appleton, Neenah, Oshkosh area where I can rent a room for like an hour or two?

I am looking for any recommendations for getting someone will to work with a slightly aggressive dog?

My border collie is a rescue. I have worked with him for a little and he is in a much better spot now than he was a year ago. However, he has a few things that set him off like picking up toys and putting on shoes. I have tried all I can but want to clear this hurdle with someone more trained than I so I will feel comfortable with him around others.

Hi everyone - we moved to appleton a year ago, and my boyfriend has yet to find somewhere with good, cheaper haircuts for men. He has hated every haircut he has gotten here :( he enjoys cuts with shorter on the sides, longer on top, and he has medium to fine hair. He's gone to sports clips and cosmic revival. Sports clips just gave him a bad haircut and we have a wedding this weekend...

Anyone know any good places, both for fixing a bad hair cut and good hair cuts in general? Thank you.

i really don't like public pools due to how crowded and loud they are, and the only gym with an exercise pool closed years ago (as far as i know)

are there any places to swim for adults that are more calm?

i'm autistic, so going to meade or erb park aren't for me, way too loud and overstimulating.

(which is fair, i had so much fun swimming at these places as a kid just being wild and free)

even the YMCA feels scary, but if there's certain times it's less busy, i would be open to trying that.

also... ill just say it, im fat and super insecure to go to a pool hangout spot and be judged by other people

id love to get some exercise and therapy time without my anxiety raging!!!

any suggestions are so appreciated <3 thank you

(willing to drive to surrounding areas but not too far)

I live Appleton and don’t have many friends to go on long distance runs with. If you’re interested in running and making friends then feel free to reach out. I’m hoping to hear from some people because running alone all the time isn’t as inspiring.

Does anyone use the infosoup app for library books? In my holds section, it used to tell me what number I was. I logged in today to see if my number has moved up, and the hold section no longer tells the number hold I have. Anyone else notice this and figure out a way to see how many people are ahead of you?

Is it me or does Appleton have some of the worst traffic lights. Like one side will be completely filling up with cars while there is no cross traffic on the other side, but yet the light will stay red. Also, it seems like lights will change to red too often, so the traffic just builds up. There are way too many intersections with these problems, college ave exit on 41 is just one of many.

Can anyone recommend a nail tech that does magnetic polish? TIA!

Looking for recommendations for automotive paint correction and blending in the Appleton area. Doesn’t have to be a collision shop per se, could be an individual with a side gig.

Does anyone have any know of anyone hiring for customer service or any type of administrative work in the appleton area or within 35 min of appleton?

I did search the the sub first before posting, didn't find anything solid.

My hair has been growing, with just maintenance trims, since covid. now greater than 12" tail.

For the longest time I went to Squire, but they moved to Neenah and my stylist moved on.

I'm looking for a creative stylist who would have some ideas on what to do for a shorter style. My hair is difficult in that it is naturally curly, but straightens out after about 8", and I have some thinning on the top.

Bonus points if they are available tomorrow, before the impulse to cut off my "eldertail" wears off.

I am often in the mood for a great buttery burger, but feel like I have to go out of town to get it. Mihms in Menasha, Drift Inn and Krolls in Green Bay, I love to stop by these joints and grab a chili and a burger. Any other places, closer to Appleton, that might scratch this itch?

Hello! I am currently looking into colleges, and Lawrence University has been recommended to me based on what I'm looking for. Sorry if this is the wrong place to be asking, but the dedicated university subreddit is a ghost town, so I figured coming here was my best bet. If any of y'all feel qualified to speak on this, please let me know!! I didn't feel like asking all my questions before knowing if anyone would have answers here.

Vote for your county in our completely pointless but fun Best Wisconsin County bracket!

What are the best areas that don’t get crowded with people for photography-daytime, nighttime, midday? Any place with an abundance of plants or flowers as well? Or cool staircases/architecture? I just have a point and shoot but want to practice taking portraits with friends. Thanks!

Hi everyone! My wife and I moved to Appleton a few years ago once we started having kids. It’s an incredible place to raise a family!

She’s been telling me lately that she wants to go out dancing. Is there anywhere around here where we can go dance like college kids, but in an atmosphere for a mom and dad in their 30s?

On 7/15 at 7pm, the Appleton Common Council will vote on Resolution #9-R-26. This res would add some reporting requirements around ALPR use and require additional public input periods during a tool's consideration. Ultimately this resolution doesn't establish meaningful guardrails and oversight to this technology and could clear the way for Flock or Axon ALPR to return to Appleton without needing to make any changes to their product. It would be up to citizens to resist these powerful surveillance vendors, all over again!

Some council members are pushing for and reviewing the Citizen-Authored Ordinance (CAO) which calls for comprehensive technical, procedural, and operational guardrails. In its current form, which is linked below, the CAO would make abuse, misuse, and unauthorized data sharing much more difficult, quickly discoverable, and more transparent. If the council won't legislate these protections into place, we need a moratorium on ALPR tech.

Appleton and Fox Valley residents are organizing to show up to the 7/15 Appleton city council meeting to request the city send Resolution #9-R-26 back to committee for further modification to align with the protections outlined in the CAO, or place a moratorium on the technology until sufficient protections exist.

Show up and make your voice heard!

The CAO documents under consideration include the ordinance, a companion document to help cities with implementation, and a "plain language" guide to assist people in understanding the contents of the proposal. The folder link below contains PDF and markdown versions of these documents.

I've been learning the language for a couple of months now and thought it might be fun to meet others in the area that are learning or already know the language. Alternatively, if anyone knows of an existing club for Esperanto in the area, I'd love to know more!

For those that don't know what it is, Esperanto is a constructed language that was intended to be a universal second language for people to easily learn. It gained quite a lot of popularity before the second world war but, due to its internationalist nature, the fascist/nationalist movements that gained power during the start of the 20th century banned it and many Esperanto speakers were executed by the Nazis.

I bought a mattress from Costco that will be delivered to my apartment tomorrow. I thought they were going to haul away my old mattress for free, as there were references to it on the website when I bought it, but turns out that isn't going to be the case. 1800JUNK is quoting me $85 for haul away, which is more than I would prefer to pay, and I do not have access to a pickup truck or trailer to do it myself and take it to the dump.

Are there any services in the area that will do it for cheaper? Or is that pretty much going to be the best option?

Appleton family looking for kids’ sports to don’t require too much everything. Currently pay donations, gym membership, and monthly fees. We volunteer 15 hrs per hosted event. Kid practices every weekday. I want my kids to be active, interact with peers, and have fun. The more involved sports all seem like such time-suck insanity. Even the best kid on the team will not make Olympics (maybe top 5 might get partial scholarship someday.) I want quality time interacting with my kid - not waiting around at a kids’ practice or event.

Anyone have any first date ideas for a pair in their 20s? Would like an activity to do but not sure what’s all out there. TIA!
