by jasongaylord87＠gmail.com 20 Dec '10

20 Dec '10

For the second time in less than 2 months someone has broken a window out of my car and stole items including a GPS and loose change both times. I just want everyone to be aware and keep their personal belongings out of plain view at all times. Sent from my iPhone4

[Highland Park] Needed:Large Cardboard Box (or two)
by Julie Costa-Malcolm 20 Dec '10

20 Dec '10

My very imaginative 9-year-old just asked for "some cardboard boxes big enough for me to fit into" for an art project he's working on. I'm wondering if any of my neighbors might have such a box that they'd be willing to let me take off their hands - maybe you recently bought an appliance or a television that came in an oversized box? Thanks in advance for your help! Julie julzlady(a)gmail.com

by Meg Drew 20 Dec '10

20 Dec '10

Here's a description of what I'm selling {attached are photos} . . . 1. Flip Video Camcorder -- Model F260W, White -- Asking $100 OBO Great little tool. Comes in very hardy for everyday use because of it's small size WHILE ALSO having great quality. I really only used it for conducting interviews. Comes with a case. 2. Ukulele -- asking $70 OBO I don't know the maker of this ukulele but I bought it brand new just this past summer + only used it a few times because I'm lame. But you aren't! It's in perfect condition. It's a great instrument + is great looking. I just haven't taken the time to learn yet. Both of these would make GREAT Christmas gifts. If you want additional photos or to come look at them or try any of them out just send me an e-mail. Thanks, Megan Drew N. Highland

[Highland Park] Behr Ultra Finish Primer & Paint in One in Light Gray
by Deborah Silva 20 Dec '10

20 Dec '10

We over estimated our need for paint for my daughter's room and have one unopened can of Behr Ultra Finish (eggshell finish) Primer and Paint in One - their new, top of the line paint. The color is light gray. The can has never been opened but since it is a custom mixed color, it is not returnable. The price of the paint is $32.99 a gallon. We are asking $25 or best offer for it. The paint was just purchased about 10 days ago. We used it with a complimentary color of snow white for the crown molding, shutters, window sills, door with the walls being the light gray. It is a great color. The paint itself was great to use, it covered beautifully in one coat. I have used this new brand of paint in my bathroom covering a bright turquoise and it also covered in one coat. Its great paint. Deb Silva 412-600-2702

[Highland Park] IKEA bookcase "Billy" -- free
by Haakan Younes 20 Dec '10

20 Dec '10

Birch finish (I think). Doesn't really come apart -- all but one shelf come out, and the back panel is nailed on. Transportation could be a bit painful since it is about 7 feet tall, but it is pretty easy to carry. Let me know if you are interested and able to pick it up. Thanks, Haakan

[Highland Park] Babysitting Post for List Serve
by Megan Zumbrun 20 Dec '10

20 Dec '10

Hello Fellow Highland Park Neighbors, I am originally from Pittsburgh and grew up in Highland Park. I went to school in Cleveland and just after graduating moved to Washington DC. For three years I worked for a foster care agency in DC. I just moved back to Highland Park in the beginning of November and am happy to be back! I am interested in providing child care for any family who may need some help! I am looking to go to grad school next fall and could really use the extra money. I have a lot of experience in working with children. Prior to working in the foster care agency, I have a lot of volunteer experience with children and youth. I used to babysit for a family with four children in Pittsburgh for about three summers (three boys and one girl ages 7 months, 3 years, 6 years and 10 years at start). I have babysat over the years for other families and used to serve as a camp counselor at the Highland Park Day camp a few years ago. I am available for evenings and weekends. Please email me if you would like to contact me about babysitting. Thanks everyone! Megan
