		Milwaukee Holiday Gift Guide I know it's early. But we all have to do our shopping and it's best to just get it out of the way. Last year, I tried to buy all of my gifts from local stores/businesses. It's possible, but sometimes it’s hard to figure out where to go. Here's a quick guide that I hope will make it easi...

		Weekly New Thing: Chicago on a Segway, Reflecting on Agora "Arrested Development" is one of our all time favorite shows. My husband lovingly gave me the full series a few years ago for my Christmas present...then he didn't see me for two days. I watched all episodes back to back - same pjs, same blanket, same couch. One of the most hilarious ch... Posted by Joy at 6:08 p.m. | Talkbacks Category: Living

		Quality Car Wash Does anyone know a place to go to get a really good car wash?  I'm talking a thorough vacuuming, cleaning, and washing of the inside and out of the car.  A hand washing and waxing would be ideal.  I know there is the place on the 1500 block of Van Buren but the reviews on...

		WNT: Living and Letting Go... A friend's mother recently passed. With the holidays coming, I thought it might be a good time to reflect on what is important - those we love. In honor of John Corro, who passed too early in January 2009. I struggled with this week’s entry. My intention was to bring flowers to r... Posted by Joy at 8:35 a.m. | Talkbacks Category: Living

		Weekly New Thing: Pole Dancing I have known my dear friend Mindy since the first grade. She was the kickball champ. The athlete. The captain of the cheerleading squad. Contrary to popular belief, possibly the most painfully shy person of the school. As a woman, she had been through several trials of anguish as well as being ...

		Weekly New Thing: Photography - Behind the Camera & DaLa Photography A few years ago, my husband bought me a digital Nikon D40 for Christmas to resurrect my love for photography. I refrained from using it for six months -- pure intimidation. Exploration on something that has too many bells and whistles has to happen on my time. And I still shoot in the "auto&...

		Weekly New Thing: Flying a Helicopter A chopper. Who knew this is where I would find myself this week? My friend Burkle had been asking me since early summer to go skydiving. It was something I looked into when I was in my early 20s -- pre-family and pre-responsibilities. I kindly declined, particularly after recalling a story where ...

		Weekly New Thing: Spa Service du Jour I was curious about a certain salon service. Pretty much know what I needed to know. No longer curious. Enough said. But I will comment on the new friends I made during the process. In between the wincing and Steve Carell expletives, I listened to the stories of my wonderful esthetician, Bella. A...
