Re: Wheatabix, Good grief !! Who knew that so many people would reply. I only looked online at Wallmart. Then I got an email from a HP-er who is presently in Canada and offered to pick up a box for me ! At least 5 others replied. Does everyone who answered actually eat it? I want it for a visiting friend but have not tried it myself. Thanks to everyone. This list serve is amazing. > > > > On Sat, Jun 10, 2023 at 8:49 AM Susan Ryan <1318east(a)gmail.com> wrote: > >> A longshot : does anyone know where to buy the cereal Wheat a Bix?

Spotted Lanternfly Nymphs in Neighborhood
by richard＠vision-and-values.com 10 Jun '23

10 Jun '23

A few weeks ago I noted little black bugs with white spots clinging to the stems of my winterberry bushes. It turns out these are the nymphs of the dreaded spotted lanternfly. Here is a good link showing photos: https://cals.cornell.edu/new-york-state-integrated-pest-management/outreach…. Sine then, they've moved to my grape-vine. Following some advice on the internet, I tried squirting them with white vinegar. This was kind-of fun, like a video game, because they immediately jump a good distance when they are hit, but I don't think it did any damage, (other than to the leaves of the plants due to the acidic nature of the vinegar.) Next I tried cider vinegar mixed with several squirts of Dawn dish detergent. This worked really well! The soap acts as a wetting agent, so the vinegar sticks to the bug and kills it in a few seconds. I'm not worrying about harm to the foliage, since the robins eat all my grapes anyway. I think that hosing down the leaves right after spraying will reduce the damage. Later in the season, the nymphs turn red and are too big and fat to jump. Last year, I saw them on my butterfly weed. I tried shaking them into a pan of water, but they just floated and escaped. This year I will add soap to the water--I think that will work. Richard Krepski

Hello, Thank you everyone who sent recommendations for dentists! Here is a list below- Keep them coming if you'd like.

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.

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.
