Suggestions Medicaid Dentist

Does anyone have any recommendations for a dentist in the area (or even Pewaukee area) that accepts medicaid?? I know that Dental 360 does, but I've been having issues with them. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

I need help

I need help. Between getting fired and my car immediately breaking down on me, hindering my ability to fond a new one, I don't know what to do. Is there anyone in the area that could come take a look at my car and help me figure out what exactly is wrong with it? I have reason to believe it's the alternator. Dm me.

Seek suggestion for indoor swimming pool in Waukesha-Pewaukee-Brookfield

Hi,

I am new to this area.
I am looking for just a lap swim pool in the Waukesha-Pewaukee-Brookfield area (not needing a full gym membership).

I live in Brookfield and Brookfield Central High only opens to community lap swim once on Monday night (about $20 a month).
My goal is to have another place to swim once or twice more in a week.

Thanks!

Ready to sell my house. Where's a good condo complex, or even neighborhood, in Waukesha that has a vibrant community?

Where are the singles at?

I am new to the area and wondering if there’s some sort of online sort of singles meet up that I could use to meet people. Not a huge fan of bars.

Halloween Trick r Treat

My kids got one of these each for Halloween.

He also has on a garbage bag.

To pwn the kids I guess, for Tony Hinchcliff's racist joke.

Rehoming Kittens

Hey everyone, sorry if this post isn’t allowed but I have some kittens who are looking for a new home. They will be 8-weeks on this upcoming Monday and I’d love to be able to rehome them myself instead of taking them to HAWS (ultimately if I have to I will take them in). Feel free to comment under here or message me directly if interested!

Don’t forget to vote!

Head to myvote.wi to check if you’re registered. It takes 30 seconds so you could do that in line or something.

Also, there’s a state referendum to vote for. If passed, it will change the state constitution in a way that would disallow those living in places not their current voting district to have their votes purged. This includes college students who stay in dorms. It uses the word ‘resides’ which doesn’t technically have a strict definition according to our constitution (as opposed to ‘resident’ which has a very clear definition), meaning that the change to the state’s constitution would be easily twisted to disenfranchise large groups of people.

Gene Elders.

Anyone have a pic of the 70’s-80’s Gene Elder tow trucks? Dodge if I’m not mistaken, flames on the front, mag wheels. Supercool.

Missing Person-Pewaukee/Waukesha area

I have spoken with the missing man’s sister, she and their mom are coming from Indiana to get his dog from HAWS and to search for him, so they are not familiar with our area at all. They are also getting conflicting info on where his dog was found, so they have no leads on where to start looking for him. If you have any information, please contact:

Amanda Brown (sister): 765-431-0741 Sandra Shriver: (mother): 317-503-6375

Posted on FB by Dakotah Marie, Property Manager:

Please consider joining this group if you are able to donate to those affected at West Grove. This is a group for those able to donate PHYSICAL items. I’ve had a ton of people reach out since my post about boxes and totes. We are currently working on a link to make monetary donations to be split between the tenants in the building. Once we have the link set up, it will also be shared in every community group possible. This is a public page, so please feel free to share with others!

LOST CAT

My 2 year old kitty was gone when we woke up and think he slipped out our door lasty night, he's our everything. We fostered him from 2 weeks old and adopted him and his brother. They both hate the outdoors so I know he's scared out there. He's microchipped but no collar. I've already contacted all nearby surrounding shelters. He's a little one and will be skittish, likely is hiding. Please contact 920-442-9550 if you spot him at all. He went missing from the corner of Cardinal Drive & Greenway Terrace, kitty corner to Greenway Terrace Park.

Name: Tokki

Color: White/Brown

Age: 2 Years Old

Weight: 8 pounds, 6 ounces

Distinctive Markings: Faintly Striped Tail, Pink Nose & Pink Toepads

Again, text or call 920-442-9550, TIA!

The title. Every place I've looked at has waffle fries or regular fries. Is there a place in Waukesha that pairs with seasoned potato wedges?

Deer repellant

We just moved out to lake country area and while I love it there's just so many deer. We are part of an HOA and it's almost impossible to get approval for a fence. Does anyone have any suggestions for deterring deer? Usually at night there's around 5 of them that just sit in the grass. It drives my dog insane and he has bolted his electronic collar - luckily I found him about a mile from the house because someone caught him and called me.

Accesible Living

My elderly, disabled mom uses a walker and wants to stay independent as long as possible. She’s struggling in her current home and will eventually need something smaller and wheelchair-accessible. She can take care of herself but has a caregiver for extra help. 1) Any recommendations for accessible condos? 2) I'd prefer she goes to assisted living, but she's stubborn so for my sanity, any places to avoid?
