Laptop wanted
by Christy Martsolf 06 Aug '18

06 Aug '18

Neighbors I am starting graduate school this month and am in need of a laptop. I don't need anything posh, just need to write papers and get on the internet. If you have something lying around that needs a home and would be willing to part with for a reasonable cost, please let me know!

Painters update
by aluffie 06 Aug '18

06 Aug '18

I called Robert Higgs for an estimate to paint our house leaving our address. He called back asking for the address and said he would call to set up a time to come over. He called again asking for the address and showed up days later unannounced just as we were leaving. He walked around and said he would email an estimate. He never did. He seems generally disorganized and a little heavy on the sales pitch with little follow up. I think he is better suited to smaller jobs. I am still looking. It has been very difficult to get anyone to submit a written detailed quote indicating what is to be done and the cost. David

Looking for a nanny to start in Sept
by Sloane Davidson 06 Aug '18

06 Aug '18

Hi neighbors! We're looking for a nanny to start in September. If you know anyone looking for a new family please send them our way. Ideally we're looking for 3 days a week to start and then to increase. We're open to a share or splitting with another family. Or maybe this would be great for someone with kids of their own in school who are looking for income during the day since our ideal hours are about 8-3pm. Please be in touch if you know anyone, thank you! -- Sloane Davidson

Yoga in the Park, Tuesday at 8 a.m.
by Susan Rupani 05 Aug '18

05 Aug '18

Greetings, The mind is a beautiful aspect of our life and is very malleable. What we think and believe shapes our experience moment to moment. The flexibility of the mind and body work hand in hand. A lovely reminder from the yoga sutras: “The cause of *bandha* and *moksha* (bondage and liberation) is our own minds. If we think we are bound, we are bound. If we think we are liberated, we are liberated. . . . It is only when we transcend the mind that we are free from all these troubles. (117)” ― Swami Satchidananda <https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/488254.Swami_Satchidananda>, The Yoga Sutras <https://www.goodreads.com/work/quotes/54873> Gift yourself with yoga surrounded by the gardens of Highland Park this Tuesday at 8 a.m., we will meet to the right of the fountain on the half-moon shaped pavement area between 2 of the gardens. Hope to see you there! Namaste, Susan 412-417-6300 Registered Yoga Teacher Holistic Counselor Private sessions available SusanRupani.com New classes at Mookshi in Regent Square: Sunday 10 a.m. Sun Salutations; Wednesday 8:15 Foundational Yoga
