Waldorf School?
by Emily Nicholson 29 Apr '16

29 Apr '16

Neighbors, Thank you to all of the many people who responded when I asked for school recommendations on this list back in December. At least one of you recommended the Waldorf School, and it has become one of the schools we are looking into. However, I do have some concerns about this unique style of education. Has anyone had, or does anyone know people who have had, positive or negative experiences with the school that they would be willing to share? Thanks very much, Emily

Start Carbon Farming this year by turning kitchen and yard plant "waste" into compost. We'll discuss a variety of ways to convert plant materials into exactly what your soil needs to avoid depletion, while diverting kitchen trimmings and yard debris from the solid waste stream. Bring your questions and your own expertise to share with others. Topics will include: hugelkultur, vermicomposting, bokashi, beneficial microorganiisms/ mycorrhizal fungi, and much more.

Wheelchair for a tween or small adult - $125.00 obo
by Audrey Rasmusson 28 Apr '16

28 Apr '16

I bought the chair used on eBay last year for over $250. They are currently selling for anywhere from $200-$350, with new chairs going for over $600. My chair seat is 16" wide and 16" deep. As a small (5"0, 90 lbs) person, I could not reach over the arms of larger chairs well enough to turn the wheels. I had no problems propelling myself in the desired direction with this chair. I hope another "shorty" like me can use it. [image: Inline image 1]

Old Laptops needed
by Norma Lipscomb 28 Apr '16

28 Apr '16

A few months ago I previously asked for laptops to be used in a Haiti school I would like to again thank those who donated at that time. Haiti is the poorest country in the western hemisphere and has a literacy rate of only 40% There is still an ongoing need for donated laptops to be used at adult literacy centers and the Excelsior Technical Institute whose mission is to provide opportunities for young men and women to learn academic and vocational skills. It is now difficult to dispose of electronic equipment so here is a chance to put your old laptop to good use. For ore information please respond by email. Thank you

Highland Park - Last from Smiley's Pet Pad, Watch for First from LOCAL PET!
by Smiley's Pet Pad 28 Apr '16

28 Apr '16

Hi Everyone, Below is the email we sent out to our customer e-list, and we wanted to pass the information on to you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Well, as the subject line suggests, this is our last communication. For me, this is both a very sad day and a very happy day. I again want to thank each and every one of you who tried to help me save this business. There were just too many things working against us. But the future is bright. Brad has chosen a great location in Point Breeze: 415 Gettysburg Street, Suite 1! It will be right next to the Point Breeze Veterinary Wellness Clinic, with Modern Dog doggy day care the next suite over. All our loyal customers who we've talked with have said that they'll follow us, and if that holds true, along with the new customers we'll be able to serve in this new location, I feel sure that Brad (and in a lower profile, I) will be around to serve your needs for quality pet products and advice for years to come. With my heart, I tell you truly, it's been a pleasure serving you. Tomorrow will be packing day, so you might want to stay clear. We will endeavor to get Local Pet up and running as quickly as possible, shooting for mid- to late May. Watch for grand opening news! Always, Ginny and Team Smiley/Team Local Pet :)
