Does anyone have a Twister game I could borrow? It would help pull off a multiple Twister game at my daughter's 7th birthday party. I would return it (or replace it if harmed). Yvonne

[Highland Park] gentle reminder
by Carolyn Lennox 26 Jun '08

26 Jun '08

Now that the warm weather is here and school is out, I would like to make a few "gentle reminders" to my fellow neighbors. Many of us who are fortunate enough to have reached retirement look forward to retreating to our backyard sanctuaries. It seems as though every year around this time we hear from neighbors who are very frustrated with barking dogs. Please remember, it is not safe to leave a dog outdoors all day long, especially when the temperatures rise. Most often they are barking because they are uncomfortable. Also, as much as you may love your children, do not assume that your neighbors enjoy their blood curdling screams, temper tantrums and crying. Parents, please be considerate. You may not even realize it, but sometimes your screaming at them combined with their crying makes for a very unpleasant afternoon for the rest of us. During the last few weeks there have been numerous times that I was unable to sit in my own back yard and had to go inside just because of the noise level. Thank you, Carrie

[Highland Park] Adotion
by Dean Steiner 25 Jun '08

25 Jun '08

My ferret, Tino, is currently looking for a new home. If there is anyone out there who is looking to adopt a young, healthy, albino ferret please let me know. I am in the process of moving to a new place where animals are not allowed. He is litter trained and comes with a tall three level cage, hammock, water bottle, food dish, food, litter, litter pan, documentation, travel case, and more. My other option is to take him down to the shelter, which does not sit well with me. Since, his chances there of being adopted are astronomically lower than by word of mouth. I check my email nightly and will be glad to answer by phone or email. Thank you, Dean.

[Highland Park] Tipped US mailbox at Wellesley and N. Highland
by Lynn Cabral 25 Jun '08

25 Jun '08

This morning, I found the US mailbox (on a concrete pedestal) and municipal garbage can tipped over near the bus stop at Wellesley and N. Highland. I heard voices and metal being strewn over at a little after 2 am near my home at that corner. Given someone's recent car break-in on the same block, I thought I would let others know. Interestingly, someone mentioned that tampering with a US mailbox is a federal offense. Lynn Cabral _________________________________________________________________ The i’m Talkathon starts 6/24/08.
