I own and operate a forum elsewhere. I've watched two different forums with the same subject matter as mine shrink dramatically and in one case completely disappear once the moderators decided to restrict content in the same way as is being proposed here. I wish you luck, but I can tell you from exp...

One is black and tan, the other is black and rust. Both are almost full size but still basically puppies, super friendly and energet...

"Three, the school population has decreased over these same seven months. More island residents are homeschooling their kids. Why is the population going down, and why are these parents removing their children from our school?" I've heard this rhetorical question asked a whole bunch of dif...

Wanted: 55 gallon barrel

$500,000 over 30 years is about $17,000 a year, spread over (guessing) 5,000 taxpayers is about $3 a piece, per year, on average.

That's probably why you're not getting much traction here.

Free string quintet concert - Thursday 7/10 at 7:30 pm

Jamie Feist from CMU and his crew are putting on a free concert at Holy Cross tomorrow night. We listened to them practice a Brahms piano quartet this evening, and they are fantastic!

Hope to see you there!

Wanted: Paving Stones

We're looking for about 180 sq ft of paving stones for a garden patio. If anyone has any lying around that they want to get rid of, give me a call. Scott x2072

Something with a spigot on the bottom and either a lid or a narrow opening on the top would be ideal. We need to be able to move water to different parts of the farm for watering trees and other pl...
