[Highland Park] Dog Play Dates
by mratliff＠email.unc.edu 21 Feb '06

21 Feb '06

Hello! I am looking for some semi-regularly scheduled play dates for my dog! Scout is a 2 year old Beagle/Shepard(?) mix full of energy. She can be very timid at first, but loves playing with other dogs and she is always the beta dog (so alphas need not worry!). I work long/weird hours and I know she would love to get out and play more. I am normally free to get together on the weekends, and might be able to work something out during the week if someone didn't mind it being later (like after 7). If you are interested please email or call me. Thanks! Missy mratliff(a)email.unc.edu (704)837-2013

Hi all, I would like to have my air ducts cleaned. Has anyone used a local duct-cleaning company for just their home? The Tradespersons list includes a couple of HVAC guys that seem more accustomed to larger buildings. Thanks, -- Jason Weill jason(a)weill.org

[Highland Park] Game Night and Congratulations
by Salvador Wilcox 21 Feb '06

21 Feb '06

A reminder to fellow Highland Park gamers, our game night is still on for 4 February 2006. Now we can think of it as a pre-Super Bowl Party. The trend is that people will be leaving their children at home, though that doesn't need to be the case. Any age is welcome. We'll provide the drinks if guests are willing to bring snacks to share. Right now, we are anticipating about 15 guests. On another note, Highland Parkers seem to be getting into positions of power. The community should be proud of its representation in city and state government. Congrats to the following: Mayor's Officer: Bobbi Jo "B.J." Leber . Chief of Staff . Highland Park . Age 51 .

[Highland Park] Kitten free to a good home.
by Karen James 21 Feb '06

21 Feb '06

We have brought home a cute tabby kitten that is dewormed and has had his first shots. He is about 11 weeks old and was born on November 23rd. He is frisky but has a loving personality and will come with his food dish, litter box, carrying bag, food, litter and toys. We like him very much, but I am allergic to him. I have bathed him twice but it doesn't seem to help. Please respond personally to semajrak(a)yahoo.com or call 412-362-8777 and ask for Karen James. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
