[Highland Park] Tile Wet-Saw- $50
by Jesse S. Sunquist 04 Mar '11

04 Mar '11

I bought this tile wet saw 2 years ago when I re-tiled my kitchen floor. It worked great but I haven't done any tiling since and I found the saw when doing some spring cleaning. See link for description of a similar saw. http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1v/R-100658259/h_d2/ProductDisplay?langI… Asking $50. Contact me with questions or if you are interested.

[Highland Park] 1 ticket available for the Carolina Chocolate Drops at the Kelly Strayhorne
by Martha Riecks 04 Mar '11

04 Mar '11

Hi - I have 1 ticket to the sold-out Caroline Chocolate Drops show at the Kelly Strayhorne Theatre tomorrow night that I'm unable to use. If anyone is interested in purchasing it, please email me (and include your phone number). Pricing strictly at face value, so the ticket doesn't go to waste, so that will be $25+whatever service fees I paid (so maybe $28?). Will be a great chance to see grammy-winnning musicians perform at our very own venue right in here in 15206! -- ------------------------------------------------- Martha Riecks - mriecks(a)gmail.com

[Highland Park] Has anyone used Liberty Heating and Remodeling?
by sarah rosso 04 Mar '11

04 Mar '11

Hi Neighbors, Sorry for yet another contractor inquiry, but I'm wondering if anyone has used Liberty Heating and Remodeling out of Wilkinsburg? I tried to find reviews/references online, but nothing came up. They have been advertising locally, so I just wondered if anyone has used their services before?

The market did not miss a single Saturday of business!Check out some newspaper coverage from back then.http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/news/pittsburgh/s_49415… addition to opening up the lot for more parking, tearing down the temporary building reveals a really nice mural is was painted on the side of the building.So please come to the market this Saturday and support your local farmers.**********************************************************Also, please see information below on a really cool upcoming food event- The Local Food Showcase- March 10th at Chatham University.  Please check it out.See you at the market.  David Lagnese********************************************************** ********************************************************** The Local Food Showcase When: Thursday March 10, 2011 Where: Chatham University 1 Woodland Road, Shadyside  Time: 1-4 pm This event showcases the finest, freshest local food western PA has to offer.

Purchasing locally produced food keeps dollars circulating in our region,  benefitting more of our neighbors and their businesses. Consumers are making purchases based on concerns about food safety, nutrition, environmental sustainability and local economies. Additional benefits include a reduction in the amount of miles food travels, thereby reducing the amount of greenhouse gas emissions. Demand for locally grown food in Western Pennsylvania has been growing steadily over the past decade.       Sponsored by:  Penn State University   In Partnership with: Chatham University PA Association for Sustainable Agriculture Parkhurst Dining Services ********************************************************** Please visit our website.  You can sign up for a weekly email update.  Please forward to friends who may be interested in the market.  http://www.farmersmarketcooperativeofeastliberty.com/ **********************************************************The Farmers' Market Cooperative of East Liberty is located at 344 North Sheridan Ave., adjacent to the Home Depot parking lot.  The market operates year round- and is open from 5 AM until 12 noon every Saturday of the year.  ----------Farmers' Market Coop of East Liberty is responsible for the content of this email.David Lagnese, 344 North Sheridan Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15206If you do not wish to receive emails like this in the future, click here to unsubscribe or copy and paste the following URL into your browser:http://www.farmersmarketcooperativeofeastliberty.com/mailinglist/re…

[Highland Park] URGENT: Foreclosure- Kitties in need!....descriptions included
by Jennifer McCarthy 03 Mar '11

03 Mar '11

[Dear Moderator: The first time I sent this message, I managed to delete the description of each of the cats - please post this email instead. Thank you.] This is an email I received & thought I could pass on the the neighbors to get the word out. SEVEN cats need to find new loving homes before the end of the month. Please read below..... *From:* Falbo, Lori (US - Pittsburgh) *Importance:* High Hello Everyone, I am writing on behalf of Linda, a fellow animal lover, who has reached out for my assistance. Sadly, she is losing her home to foreclosure and, as a result, she must find homes for her kitties. She has provided photos and brief descriptions of each of her babies, and I am passing the information along to each of you hoping that this incredible network will help each and every one of them find a new, loving home. Losing one’s home is horrific- I can’t even imagine the agony of losing one’s feline friends, too. Please help me spread the word. If you or anyone you know is interested, please feel free to contact me by email or cell (# below), and I will be happy to put you in direct contact with Linda. I have cut and pasted her email below. Many, many thanks. Lori *Lori E. Falbo* Quality & Risk Management Deloitte Consulting LLP Tel: 412 402 5158 | Mobile: 412 897 8256 | Right Fax: 412 402 5796 lfalbo(a)deloitte.com | www.deloitte.com The cats have been around dogs and get along with the other cats. In the summer they have been outside a little when I was outside to supervise them. I can take the cat to them or will make whatever arrangements necessary. I have until about the end of March to find loving homes for my babies. All I want is for them to find homes where they will be loved and well taken care of. I greatly appreciate your help and please let me know if there is anything else that you need. At this time they are all due for shots and if a person wants me to get them current shots I will certainly do so if it means they will be given a loving home. *BRAGGI* - is a black and white male Norwegian Forest Cat who turned 2 years old this month. I got him from a breeder who was going out of business and wanted to place him in a home since he did not work out for her as a show cat. He loves to be petted and will sit on your lap and sleep in bed with you. He does not like to be hugged or squeezed but is a very loving boy. He hates to get his nails cut - you will need help to do them. He is still a growing boy and will not reach maturity until he is 5 years old. *CALLIE* - is a female Maine Coon who is 4 years old. I got her when she was about 9 months old from a breeder that had gone out of business and did not want Callie to be bred. Callie is very jealous and wants all of your attention. She follows you everywhere and will ALWAYS be on your lap or in bed with you. She is very sweet but she needs to be in a home where she gets lots and lots of attention. She likes her head, ears and neck petted - it would be best if she were the only cat or with a cat that does not require all of the attention that Callie loves. *ROSIE *- Rose is a Maine Coon mix about 2 years old that I adopted from a shelter and she is a special girl. I think she was abused by her owner as it has taken a long time to get her to trust. For countless months after I brought her home you could not get near her - she would run and hide. She is shy and it will take her awhile to warm up to you but once she does she loves to be petted and loved. She needs someone who has lots of patience and love. *LOLA -* Lola is a sweetie with very soft and silky fur and is front declawed. She is about 5 years old, independent and will let you know when she wants attention. She loves to play and lay in the sun or in front of a warm fire in the fireplace. She is feisty and listens very well and will come when you call her. She loves to drink water from the bathroom faucet. *CANDIE *- is a short haired calico and is front declawed and is 4 years old. She showed up on my porch as a kitten on a cold and rainy fall day as she had been abandoned. She was very sick and it took lots of medicine to make her well. She is very shy and very loving. She loves to be held, petted and loved. She is a wonderful girl - please have patience with her because she is shy. She would do well in a home where someone will show her lots of love and attention. *TEDDIE* - is a tabby about 3 years old and is the litter mate of Maddie. He is boisterous and full of energy. He likes to go outside and play when the weather is warm but is primarily an inside cat. He is always full of energy and wants to play. *MADDIE* - is a beautiful black smoke female who is the sister of Teddie. She LOVES to drink water from the bathroom sink and will "talk" to you until you pet her and turn on the water. She is a quiet girl and you barely know she is around unless she wants attention at the bathroom sink! ------------------------------ (JX15811ID: [585912])
