by Susuboombatz＠aol.com 13 Sep '09

13 Sep '09

This is a second e-mail in the hopes to find a home for this kitty........ Hello! We have been caring for a cat for a few months now and need to find it a loving home. She came to us via a friend who got a job where he is required to travel on a regular basis and obviously cannot keep her. He named her Touche', but she does seems to answer/come to just about any name....'princess, sweetie', kitty'. We are not able to keep her permanently because we have two cats of our own and the three of them just do not get along. She needs a HOME!! Please help!! FREE TO A GOOD AND LOVING HOME!! Here is her description: -Female cat -5 to 5 1/2 yrs old -short hair -coloring is gray with fawn/beige and some white markings -golden to green eyes -we just had her spayed on July 14, 2009 and teeth cleaned with one removed (no more stinky breath ) -she has claws - I have them clipped regularly; she uses the scratching post. -she is up on her vaccinations - we had it all done a few months ago (I have the papers and rabies tag) -she was raised, from when she was a few months old until we got her, with a Miniature Pomeranian dog - they got along well. I do not know how she is with other dogs. -she is very playful - likes kitty toys and likes to nibble playfully on fingers -she is a sleeper/lounger -likes canned and dry cat food - really good appetite; and enjoys some kitty treats -best living environment would be with either a single person or a couple - NOT good with loud noises or lots of commotion or kids. -she would be a great apartment cat - loves one or two rooms to roam in. If you or anyone you know may be interested in adopting her please contact us by e-mail. e-mail: susuboombatz(a)aol.com Thanks so much! Sue & Michael e-mail: susuboombatz(a)aol.com

[Highland Park] Antique Furniture For Sale
by Andrew Thurman 12 Sep '09

12 Sep '09

Hoosier style cabinet (the gentleman from whom I bought it was careful to say he did not think it was made by the Hoosier company). The cabinet is in excellent shape and all the doors/drawers work, however it has no interior fittings except for the usual shelves. Hoosier tag shown not attached but included. Largest dimensions, in inches: 69 tall, 41.5 wide, 25 deep. $250 Silver chest that my first wife had had for a long time and brought to our first marriage, so it's easily over 50 years old. The is a mar on the top shown in the photograph. I cannot find a makers name, but it is well put together. All drawers lined in green felt, top three with dividers. Largest dimensions, in inches: 35 tall, 24 wide, 14.25 deep. $150 Large, cool, stand-up desk I rescued from the Oklahoma City train station as it was being torn down. It predated the memory of anyone who worked there, which means it predates 1911; I bought it almost 30 years ago. I was told variously it was the stationmaster's or the Wells Fargo desk. In any event, it has some dings but is sturdy and functional. largest dimensions, in inches: 47 tall, 63 wide, 25 deep. $400 E-mail me for pictures or with questions. -- Andrew Thurman Andrew E.

by kelly flanagan dee 12 Sep '09

12 Sep '09

Just a heads up to everyone out there that at someone point later yesterday evening my black 30gig video iPod was stolen out of my car parked on the 1400 block of North Euclid. The car is fine. I think someone snatched it as I was bringing things into my house and it was unlocked. If anyone saw anything or has any suggestions as to what I should do (should I report it to the police?) please feel free to respond. If anything let my mistake serve as a reminder to keep your cars locked and free of anything you don't want stolen. thanks! kelly
