[LincolnTalk] Changes to Town Water?

[kristen margeson]

Hi All,

Wondering if anyone has noticed a change in town water? We are finding a
strong taste of minerality over the past week or so, even from a filter
faucet. Just us?

Re: [LincolnTalk] Changes to Town Water?

[kristen margeson]

Thanks to those who responded, and thanks in particular to our water
superintendent Darin LaFalam. Darin responded promptly and helpfully to my
inquiry about this - a wonderful interaction with our Water Department.

[LincolnTalk] FS New in Box Fisher and Paykel Panel-Ready Dishwasher For Sale

[kristen margeson]

For sale, a brand new Fisher and Paykel DW24U2I1 Panel Ready Dishwasher.
The box was opened to inspect the item upon delivery, but was promptly
closed. We are selling it because it came with a set of other appliances,
but our specs required a different model. This is a panelized/integrated
dishwasher, so it will require a custom front to function (although a
standard stainless steel front can be purchased for it). Located at ground
level in a heated garage, must have capable transportation and ability to
move the unit.

Details
https://www.ajmadison.com/cgi-bin/ajmadison/DW24U2I1.html

MSRP $999, asking $600

Please reply directly with interest. Thanks!

[LincolnTalk] Fluoride in Lincoln's Water

[kristen margeson]

I'm hoping someone from the Water Department can see and respond to this
message - does Lincoln's town water have fluoride added? I have not been
able to find this out on the Water Department's page on the town website -
apologies if I'm missing it somewhere.

Re: [LincolnTalk] Night Nanny Recommendations

[kristen margeson]

Hi Nikki, we used Boston Baby Nurse & Nanny last winter with our newborn.
They were good and reasonably priced (~$380/night I think), though we did
end up getting a few subs throughout as it was holiday season (and sick
season) - but they were diligent about funding subs, and everyone we had
was good. Happy to chat more if helpful.

Good luck!

Re: [LincolnTalk] Animal print identification

Thank you Anne, I think it might be just that! There is a spot a few feet away 
that looks like a scuffle, then the tracks start and go on for maybe 6-10ft, 
and no other tracks leading to or from. Not sure what kind of bird but I think 
you’re right that it was an aerial event!

[LincolnTalk] Animal print identification

Can anyone identify what makes a track like this? It’s very close to our house, 
and appears to be from a rather small animal. Along with the feet depressions 
there are very evenly made four-pronged “scrapes” throughout the track, to 
either side of the feet depressions. 

I can try for a better photo tomorrow, but curious for any intel!

Re: [LincolnTalk] Transfer Station Zoo Today

[kristen margeson]

I fully support Margo's idea, clearly supported by others here, of having a
"make-up day" on weeks where a holiday keeps the Transfer Station closed
for one of its days. I think that is an extremely reasonable ask to ensure
that the town's public services, service the public.

I also support adding a third open day. It is extremely challenging for a
family with two full-time working adults and young children who will not
drive for another decade, to make it to the TS during the current open
hours. Three days were possible during the pandemic (I recall Mondays were
added) and I strongly encourage the town to explore making that a permanent
schedule. As another poster mentioned, we similarly end up storing our
trash and recycling for an untenable length of time until we can get to the
TS, and not just because of holiday closures. Life is busy; commutes to
work take a long time; and weekends are the time we get to spend with our
children. It would be nice to have one more option to take care of our TS
responsibility.

[LincolnTalk] FS: Crib + Mattress $200

[kristen margeson]

Hi LincolnTalk,

We have moved on from our 3yo's crib and mattress, and selling as a set for
$200; our preference is to sell as a package but open to splitting up if
needed. We are a smoke-free home. Easy pick-up in Lincoln.

*Babyletto Gelato crib with toddler bed conversion kit.* The crib is white
with natural wood feet (see here, the "White/Washed Natural" colorway. The
crib has 3 mattress height levels and includes the toddler bed conversion
kit; it also has the ability to convert to a full-sized bed with the
purchase of a separate rail kit. Crib sells for $500 new.
https://babyletto.com/products/gelato-4-in-1-convertible-crib-with-toddler-bed-conversion-kit?srsltid=AfmBOorjq3PKfa5YpYONBpB8DyGzBYKu2Oyp-doTwMTAF2SNAe2Dh28-&variant=1779816431640

The crib and toddler bed kit are in excellent shape with just a few small
nicks along one of the top crib rails.

*Beautyrest Beginnings Sleepy Whispers Ultra Deluxe 2-in-1 innerspring Crib
and Toddler mattress, greenguard gold certified.* It was very
well-protected during its entirety of use (past 3 years) and is in perfect
shape. Mattress sells for $130 new.

[LincolnTalk] Bees nest for removal

[Kristen Margeson]

Hi LT,

We just discovered a bees nest (the hard way) and seek safe bee-friendly 
removal. We don’t know the exact species. Seeking recommendations for someone 
to help with safe removal, any names greatly appreciated!

Best,
Kristen

Re: [LincolnTalk] From the Moderators: Political Hiatus

[kristen margeson]

Sharing my thanks to Margit & the Moderators who volunteer their time,
integrity, and patience to maintain LincolnTalk as a resource for all
those who choose to utilize it. Our family appreciates, and has benefitted
in countless ways from all that you do!

Best,
Kristen

Re: [LincolnTalk] STM Childcare, parking, and more

[kristen margeson]

Agreed this is a great service and step forward. Parents of children under
age 4, whose families will heavily interact with the consequences of the
CCBC outcome (either way) are in a tougher spot. Very hard to participate
when the voting process doesn't accommodate those who can't be there in
person due to caregiving (and I'm sure many other very valid) reasons.
