ISO Queen Anne's Lace
by richard＠vision-and-values.com 28 Aug '21

28 Aug '21

Does anyone have true Queen Anne's Lace growing in their yard, or seen it growing as a weed somewhere? Seed companies only seem to sell substitute native plants and hybrids used by florists. I've written a story related to the plant and would like to harvest some seeds for my yard. True Queen Anne's Lace can be distinguished by a red dot that often appears in the center of the flat, lacy flower-head. (Supposedly this represents a blood stain from the pricking of the Queen's finger as she sowed the lace.) Thanks, Richard Krepki

Parakeets need a new home
by Rebecca Wilson 28 Aug '21

28 Aug '21

I have a sweet pair of parakeets who need to be rehomed due to my need to travel over the fall & winter. They are quite bonded and must be kept together. They're a male & female who have reproduced in the past but they WON'T do that so long as simple precautions are taken, which I can explain. Along with the birds comes a large cage, accessories, and an extra cage if you want one, as well as a small travel cage for going to the vet if necessary. You will need a pretty big vehicle for transporting everything.

Invitation to playtest board games for families
by sabrina 27 Aug '21

27 Aug '21

Hello HP neighbors! Does your family play board games? Would you like to find out about playtests for board games by a fellow neighbor and resident game designer? I work on games, particularly board games for families, and I'm looking to expand my list of families interested in trying out ("playtesting") game prototypes and providing feedback. In fact, I'm running game playtests this September (families with kids in the 8-10 range) and October (families with kids 5-7). - *Signup for the September playtest <https://ludoliminal.com/playtest-signup/>* - *Learn more about Playtesting* <https://ludoliminal.com/playtesting/> - *Join the mailing list to get future playtest announcements and a quarterly newsletter with game recommendations and other interesting links* <https://ludoliminal.com/mailing-list/> If you have any questions- feel free to ask! And if you know other families who might be interested, please feel free to forward on this invitation. I love having Pittsburgh families playtest, but I also do accept families in other states (continental US). ~ Sabrina Culyba Principal, Ludoliminal <https://ludoliminal.com/> [image: ludoliminal_logo_hrztl_330w.png]

Health Problem at 5824 Jackson St
by richard＠vision-and-values.com 26 Aug '21

26 Aug '21

Some of you undoubtedly know that the resident at 5824 Jackson St. recently died. The body was removed from the house last Sunday. He had been there quite a while. The property has been secured and condemned. The problem now is that the house is apparently still filled with garbage, and the rats are having a party in there. Various neighbors have contacted 311, the police, building inspection, animal control, and Deb Gross' Office. My understanding is that the garbage is still in there. Is there any was to expedite the removal of the garbage and the placement of rat traps inside the house? HPCC please help!
