Hello, Thank you everyone who sent recommendations for dentists! Here is a list below- Keep them coming if you'd like. As mentioned in my previous email, all dentists are not taking new patients right away, and some do not take all types of insurance. But here is the list and comments, as of today. Jill -Matthew Feigel on Craig Street is excellent and sweet. Came highly recommended. -I am very happy with Jeffries, Smith and associates. I have been a patient for several years as has my husband. Both doctor Zena and darlene are great, and they are a women owned business! -I don't know whether my dentist is taking new patients, but I like her alot. Her name is Dr. Juliette Murko and her office is on Penn Ave, near Children's Hospital. https://www.pghfirstimpression.com/our-practice/ -We go to Drs Joyce and Jack Warwick. Husband and wife, both are very good. They’re located downtown in One Mellon. Covid did a hit on their practice/ getting an appointment should not be an issue. https://www.downtownpittsburghdentist.com -I use Rebecca Pounds, Cherry Way Dental, downtown. I have been going for years and highly recommend. Not sure about their availability. -Dennis Garrow. old style. excellent dentist -Dr. Murcko by Childrens hospital -We recently had to find a new dentist and we’re recommended to Dr Gleason and we love his practice. Very kind staff, parking lot, easy to schedule... https://gleasonfamilydentistry.com/ -Try Dr. George Wehrle on Freeport Rd. Aspinwall. 412-781-2722. Used him for years. Good dentist. Thanks again!

Hello All, On Thalia way behind 1122 Portland Street there is a red leather electric recliner. It’s in pretty good shape and still works. If you’d like pictures, let me know. Or just stop by to see it and take it if you want it. We used it to help my mom get up and out of her chair. It’s great for an older person. Thanks,Melanie Sent from the all new AOL app for iOS

Polk Audio center speaker--NEW
by Elisabeth Crago 10 Jun '23

10 Jun '23

I have a brand new, unopened Polk Elite series (ES50) center speaker for a surround sound stereo or TV system. I bought a package from Polk (incredible speakers!) but I needed the slim profile center speaker and they did not allow me to customize the package—so I ended up with this extra one. Here’s the link: https://www.polkaudio.com/en-us/product/center-channel-speakers/signature-e… Currently available through Polk for $240; yours for $200 OBO.

Do You Need A Babysitter?
by Lydia Blank 09 Jun '23

09 Jun '23

Hi neighbors. My daughter, Abby, a (soon-to-be) graduate from Allderdice High School and an Environmental Charter School alum is looking for summer babysitting jobs. She will be available beginning June 21st for day or evening help. In addition to volunteering at the Rodef Shalom Family Center preschool over the last few summers and at The Friendship Circle of Pittsburgh for several years, she has tons of experience babysitting kids and babies of all ages. If you or someone you know is looking for a sitter (one-off times or regularly), please give her a call. She cannot babysit for families with furry friends as she is extremely allergic... so please keep that in mind. To connect with Abby, you can call or text her at 412-390-4483. Thanks all!Lydia Blank (Abby's mom 😊) PS.... Abby doesn't have a HP listserve account, so that's why I'm sending this and not her. #notahelicoptermom

🐕 Looking for a Dog for Playdates
by Vlad Kaplun 09 Jun '23

09 Jun '23

Hello! I'm looking for friendly medium sized or large dogs to go on playdates with my dog, Grombo! Grombo is a 70lb 1.5 year old rambunctious fellow! All he wants to do in this world is chase rabbits and play with dogs. He already has a couple of buddies around the neighborhood and I'm hoping to give him some more play time! -Vlad [image: grombo shades small.jpg]
