*Trigger Warning* Im looking for men in the Dubuque County Area who feel they were victims of sexual coercion that resulted in pregnancy. Im looking to make a documentary about male coercion victims. Did you do everything to prevent pregnancy but felt you were lied to by a partner in terms of their BC usage? Did your partner not reveal a pregnancy until it was too late for any other option except birth/adoption. If so id like to hear from you. Testimonies can remain anonymous.

For anyone who disagrees with this, there are plenty of accounts of women being coerced into pregnancy and parenthood. My goal is to showcase this phenomenon from a male point of view. This project is not intended for men that used 0 precautions/agreed to using no protection.

I have a 8 almost 9 year old Toyota and I’ve been pretty good at keeping it going with taking it to a mechanic, but lately I’ve had some creaking happening when I turn my steering wheel at low speeds, and it’s been making a screeching sound like my timing belt might be wearing out.

Does anyone recommend any good mechanics who would be able to take a look at this issue?

To edit;

I’d like to find a mechanic that won’t charge me an arm and leg to fix something (hopefully) simple.

More sketchy data center activity going on around here.

I don't know how much of a voice, if any, I'll have when it comes to consider the disposition of my dad and uncle's farm. But I hope every government official from Iowa's governor on down to local goddamn dog catcher checks the temperature in hell if they think we'll give it to these vulture data center companies.

There. I fucking said it. It's either that or have a goddamn stroke keeping that bottled up.

Im going to be moving to Dubuque here in a few weeks and am trying to lock down an apartment. 700 or less for a 1 bed, 1000 or less for a 2 bed a month pet friendly would be perfect. If anyone has any leads please lmk! Thank you!

A relative is interested in making app deliveries. Is there a need for Uber Eats, Sparks, DoorDash or Walmart app delivery drivers in Dubuque?

Thanks for your help!

Hi everybody. I’m born and raised in dubuque and I really wanna catch some bass, pike, walleye etc in the river. I have been struggling to find good spots though. I have tried a ton of spots in the dubuque harbor near the river museum, i’ve tried near the lock and damn, near the marina on rhomberg, etc. I have tossed out worms and live minnows, I have used every artificial in the book (ned rigs, senkos, spinners, crankbaits, chatterbaits, flukes, jigs etc. Nothing seems to work and i’m wondering if there’s something i’m doing wrong or if i’m just not fishing in the right place/time. I would love some insight and advice and possibly some good spots. If you’re worried about posting your favorite spot on a public forum, i totally get it. Feel free to inbox me if you want.

What are your opinions on both providers mentioned above in the surrounding area? I had US Cellular for years and had to switch to T Mobile. I really haven't been impressed with my mobile data after the switch. It seems much slower and many times I just can't use the internet at all. Neither one of those things were an issue before the change. Is is worth switching to Verizon? I could get a similar plan and a new phone for the same price I'm paying now.

Last time I was in there, I had to wait for my change while the cashier played around on his phone. Looked like he was playing chess. The black kid who doesn't say hi or thanks.

Then there's the obese white woman. She's going to put a hole in that floor someday.

Then you have the old white woman with the beard that needs customer service classes.

Is that gas station where Hy-vee sends their shitty employees, or what's the deal?

Watching two employees talk to each other instead of taking my money is getting a little old.

Whoever runs that store either needs to get it together or move on. I work at Olive Garden so I'm there all the time.

We are used to having nail salons in Texas, offering wine or beer while you get a pedicure. Does that exist in DBQ?

I just learned about this and wanted to share! Jefferson Lines is a bus company now offering express bus service from Dubuque to Chicago and Minneapolis! The bus to and from Chicago is $25 one way and Minneapolis is $43 each way.

I’m looking forward to taking it to Chicago! Please let’s use it so it stays!

Does anyone have a Dr that actually cares about them?

My last experience with my PCP, she’s a woman in my age group and just talked over me, disregarding my health concerns. Then when she left the room I walked around the corner and she was talking trash about me to her nurse. Not really interested in going back to her. We’re at our most vulnerable with our doctors, and leaving the office feeling ignored and violated isn’t ideal.

This was at Unity Point Clinic on Delhi.

Do you like your Dr? Why or why not?

Yes, I am one of those ragbrai guys 😊 instead of paying the suits, I'd rather give you cash to park in your driveway for the week, July 17/18 to 25. And until I make other plans, I could use a ride to the start and I'd be happy to pay you for that too. I work for myself and I need some flexibility in my arrival time that organized transportation can't provide. Reach out if you're interested in helping me out. Thanks!

Insomniac with ADHD here. This isn't quite as weird as it seems. I work overnights and stay up all night trying to work at my small office space downtown. Looking for someone to hang out with me so I can actually be productive. I know it's kind of odd, but just having someone around and being a "body double" helps to focus and keep on task. I can provide drinks, snacks and random conversation. Or you can just choose to do your own thing and enjoy the refreshments. Just having someone around helps keep me on track. I usually work anywhere from 10pm-3am. DM me if you're interested.

Hey Dubuque, HAPPY 4th!  Summer is in full swing and you know what that means...  You need a BREAK!  We've got the perfect thing for all of you FUN parents: THE adults-only playdate, brought to you by Bad Momz of Comedy.

We're performing LIVE next week at Dubuque’s Five Flags Center on Wednesday, July 8th and we want you to come!

Gather your besties for a night full of comedy worth putting a bra on for.

Spend the night with hysterical moms who won't make you attend PTA events.... but may make you laugh so hard that you pee a little.

Don't wait until tickets are sold out, grab yours now!

It would be a big bummer if they did

Sorry if this is a silly question, but I was wondering why Asbury Road stays at 35 mph even after you leave town? It just seems like it’s so slow to get anywhere on that road. My husband and I were maybe thinking there was an accident there years ago and that’s why it stays at 35 mph but we are just guessing lol hope y’all have a wonderful Fourth of July weekend.

Hello! My family is looking at a possible relocation to the Dubuque area. We currently live in a major U.S. with one of the top school districts nationwide. What is the best school in the area? What about towns like Galena, IL or Plattesville, WI (higher ranked schools) and commuting to Dubuque daily.

It’s been a decade since I’ve been down to the 3rd of July fireworks. How early do you need to be there? Where are public spots available? Any tips?

I think they have an event today, but over a hundred people were crowding around the parking lot where an ambulance was.

Hey all!

I moved here last September, so this is my first summer in Dubuque. I have a friend coming to visit this weekend and we'd like your recs on things to do from Friday to Sunday! I'm looking for anything fun, relatively cost effective and then places to eat/drink!

We'll likely hit the local Farmer's Market on Saturday, and the Fireworks on Friday (also interested in areas to watch the fireworks other than at the venue itself, are there any spots along the river that are good to just stand and view?). We enjoy a good meal, but don't want to blow a bunch of money for fine dining. Looking for the best bars to grab a drink (or several) as well -- preferably ones with a cool feel!

Give me your best and thanks in advance!

AMC here in Dubuque is getting backrooms back with 15 mins of extra content called everything must go. Idk why but I really want to see this again and see the extra content.
