[Highland Park] looking for Legos
by Shannon Hula 28 Jun '11

28 Jun '11

Hi- Does anyone have any Legos they'd like to get rid of? My nephew wants some for his birthday, and I thought that before I added more small plastic parts to the world, I'd check and see if anyone in the neighborhood had any used ones they'd like to get rid of. Would need them by Thursday morning. Thanks! Shannon Hula

[Highland Park] Base board heater replacement
by Alicia Haley 28 Jun '11

28 Jun '11

Hello Everyone, I am posting this for my dad. He is looking for recommendations for someone that can replace baseboard heaters and is knowledgeable about boiler hot water heaters. He lives in the suburbs south of Pittsburgh, about 25 minutes from the area, so the recommendations would have to be willing to travel outside of the city. Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance!

[Highland Park] Polish and Russian translations
by Jan McKeag 27 Jun '11

27 Jun '11

Hello neighbors! I recently needed a translation of a family document in Polish. I contacted Marie Hall (mjhall1126(a)comcast.net) She did a superb job in a week. I thought that the document gave my grandmother permission to emigrate from Austria (I can read German, but I am hopeless in Polish). She came from a Ukrainian area that was then Austrian, but is now part of Poland. It turned out to be a school report card from 1910. Still, it added to my family history. The document recommended that my grandmother continue her education in a secondary school for scientific studies. My grandmother told me that she wanted to continue her education, that her father refused, and that they had a huge argument She arrived at Ellis within a month after the date of this document. The translation confirmed her story. And, yes, she got good grades. If you have anything in Polish or Russian that you would like to have translated, then I highly recommend Marie Hall. I knew enough about translation to search the American Translator Association site. If you have anything in any other language, then search this site for a certified translator. ATA has high standards of competence, ethics, and reasonable fees. I hope this helps you, Jan

[Highland Park] Are you looking for a babysitter?
by Patricia Emory 27 Jun '11

27 Jun '11

Heyo! Someone recently posted on here that they were looking for childcare for specific dates. I misplaced the email, so I thought I'd just reply to the whole list. I've lived in Pittsburgh since 2006 and I've lived in Highland Park for the past year. I recently completed graduate school at the University of Pittsburgh and I'm looking for summer work. I am certified to teach grades6-12 and I have current clearances. I don't smoke and I'm comfortable with pets. I have a current drivers license, but I do not have car. Feel free to contact me regarding babysitting requests. Patti
