[Highland Park] Composting question
by Alicia Donner 04 Nov '11

04 Nov '11

Hello HP! My housemates and I are interested in keeping our compostable waste out of the trash but are not able to compost at our house. Does anybody have any suggestions of where we could compost or other options we may have - including anyone who is in need of more things to compost for their gardens. Thanks! Peace, Alicia -- Alicia M. R. Donner ***PULSE Alumna 2010-11* *http://pulsepittsburgh.org/*

[Highland Park] Reconvening Highland Park Knitters and Crocheters
by Alicia Donner 04 Nov '11

04 Nov '11

Hey Highland Parkers! Last winter, a group starting meeting weekly to knit and crochet at the UP on Thursdays. With summer and all the busyness that season creates, the group stopped meeting but there has been interest in reforming. I'd like to open it up to other people who have since joined the listserv or were not able to make it to meetings in the past. If you're interested, please email me and I'll get you in on the conversation! Thanks and happy knitting and crocheting! Peace, Alicia -- Alicia M. R.

[Highland Park] Looking for Doctor Recommendations
by Julie Costa-Malcolm 03 Nov '11

03 Nov '11

Hey folks! I am looking to make some changes in my health care and am hoping for recommendations for one or more of the following: 1) A rheumatologist who can think outside the box. I've tried almost all of the currently-recommended treatments for my condition (psoriatic arthritis), and none has worked, so I need someone who's on the cutting edge and/or isn't afraid to try something new. 2) A dermatologist (same story as the rheumatologist) 3) A shoulder surgeon with experience dealing with joints damaged by arthritis (as opposed to just sports injuries) 4) A chiropractor with a gentle touch 5) A primary care physician who is both a good listener and experienced in dealing with patients with chronic health issues (and who is open-minded about non-traditional approaches to health care) 6) A pain management doc In all cases, I need the provider to take UPMC insurance and have excellent bedside manner. Given the choice, I'd much rather go to a doctor who will leave me waiting for a while than a doctor who will make me feel like s/he doesn't have time to talk to me about treatments and issues. Thanks, neighbors! Julie
