Hi Neighbors, This may be a long shot, but a good friend is searching for a good rheumatologist who works closely with nutrition. Anyone know of such a doctor? She is in the South Hills but would travel anywhere. Thanks!Kathy

Seeking childcare for our 2.5 y/o son
by Joe Nurre 11 Apr '24

11 Apr '24

Hi all! Due to a change in our working and living arrangements, we are looking for part-time childcare (~20 hours / week) for our 2.5 y/o son beginning in the next 4-6 weeks. We have checked with a couple of the bigger providers in the East End, and wait lists are long! We'd welcome a nanny share, a stay-at-home parent who wouldn't mind adding one more to their crew, etc. Thank you for any leads you can provide! Best, Meg and Joe Nurre

Re: my trash bin is not your dog restroom !
by Christine Bethea 10 Apr '24

That is very good advice Diane and Danielle-- I for one, will be informing anyone I see doing this, to *please take their poo home!* Also, double-bagging makes a lot of sense, especially if it's going to sit in the trash days before pick-up. Ack! Also, If you all will indulge me, I'd like to share a similar experience with diaper poo. I had a neighbor many years ago, who insisted on putting her baby's diapers in MY trash. She would literally walk to the end of the block and stash them. While odd, I never really made a thing out of it, since my trash cans were pretty big...that is until summer, when her new born's diapers were especially ripe. One day, I called out my window, but she pretended not to hear. In spite of the flies, I picked out the diapers with my gardening gloves, followed her home and put them on her porch. Never had that problem again! So I would bet if you caught them, and followed them with their poo (even for a block) in protest, they would be horrified enough to never do it again....Just a thought.... :-) Christine On Tue, Apr 9, 2024 at 9:58 PM Diane Dean <dianedean(a)gmail.com> wrote: > With residential waste, waste management will only pick up poop in poop > bags that have been placed into a larger trashbag, either with other trash > or with other poop bags. > > Essentially they have to be double bagged (for good reason I think with > what hapoens to thin poop bags when they get wet) for collection.
