From: Jim Greene <jpgreene@erols.com>

Amazingly, a DC crew picked up the storm windows the very same day
that I sent an E-mail to the recycling office. Sorry that those on the
web site who were interested were disappointed. Jim Greene

I can highly recommend MR Bugs in Glen Echo. Mike (the owner) is excellent. Came, thought through what was a difficult problem, came back and solved it and did quite a bit of follow up on his own. Their number is 301-229-7200. I can recommend them without reservations.

Lunch Time Dog Walker Needed (Responsible Kids Welcome)

Our 7 month old beagle would thoroughly enjoy a regular mid-afternoon
walk. He does not require an extensive jaunt, rather he just needs a
quick bathroom break. If anyone could recommend a trustworthy dog-
walker, or has any responsible children who would be interested in
making a new friend and a little money, please let me know.

Question About Microwave Ovens

Posted by: "kathysmithindc" ksmith1804@starpower.net   kathysmithindc

Thu Sep 20, 2007 11:23 am (PST)

Does anyone know how to (or have the equipment)
to test to see if a microwave oven is leaking?
I have an older oven (10-15 years - GE) which
works fine but I'm wondering if there could be
leakage over time. I'm thinking of replacing it,
but if I could be sure it's not leaking, I wouldn't
bother.
Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Stoddert Open House, Friday, September 21

From: ANC 3B <anc3b@aol.com>

This coming Friday, in observance of Good Neighbor Day, Stoddert and
all of DC Public Schools will host an Open House. One of Chancellor
Rhee's goals this year is to engage the community and our first step
towards reaching this goal is to welcome the neighbors and community
by opening our school doors.

So please join us Tomorrow, Friday, September 21st between 1:30 and
3:00 at Stoddert.

Also note we still have space in our 3rd grade. So if anyone in
interested, this is a great opportunity to visit the school.

Thanks.

Anyone Employ a 'Manny'?

If any of you out there can help an acquaintance with this most interesting
project, I think you'd find it worthwhile.

Maia Brami is working on a story for the French version of Marie-Claire
magazine on the (growing?) practice of employing male nannys ("mannys") in
the U.S. She's looking for a first-person interview as described below. If
anybody on the liist fits her description that follows and would like to be
interviewed, or knows someone who does and might be willing, could you
please write to the email address below (English is fine). Time is of the
essence because, as is usual with journalists, deadline is looming.

Many thanks,

Ron Leve
Dupont Circle

French journalist preparing an article on THE MANNY PHENOMENON looks for
interviews: mothers (20 to 40 years old), divorced or not, now employing a
MANNY to look after their kids. At least one photo (family picture with or
without the manny) will be required. The interview(s) will accompany a piece
based on an interview with Newsweek reporter Holly Peterson on her
bestseller "The Manny" (Dial Press).

If interested, please send an e-mail to
