Free leaves will kill you!

Hahaha! God I love this list.

This is a potentially very dangerous idea. Since they're so light, the leaves could easily fly up the flue before they have finished burning. Years ago, we almost set fire to our roof from burning holiday gift wrap in the fireplace.

Free leaves.

I really can't add anything to this, except that no one wants your ten bags of leaves. You're going to have to wait until spring for them to get picked up like all the other slackers. I once left mine for so long that yellow jackets made a nest in the pile and then I had to set fire to it. True story.

Hello List,

I missed the town deadline on the leaves pickup and thought some of you with fireplaces could use them in addition to papers and logs.

The ten bags are in front of my house at ADDRESS REDACTED off Mass. Ave. in Arlington Heights).

Thanks.

This. Seriously.

Yes, she wants you to put away your toys. I'm the public park.

Hi, everyone -

Hey, I thought that the agreement for the loaner toys being left in 
Arlington parks permanently was that the toys would be put away in the 
designated area each night.  (There's a sign for the toy parking lot.)

Magnolia Park currently has more than a dozen big toys (Big Wheels, 
etc.)  scattered all over Magnolia Field, not even in the playground 
area, and some of them have been there for a while.  I don't care 
whether the children or the adults put the toys away, but everyone 
should be responsible.

Thank you.

The official town slogan..

The official town slogan should be either, "I just hate to see it go to waste." or "I hate to see it go to landfill." PS. Arlington trash is incinerated.


I have an open box containing 17 tea bags leftover from guests.

I can put it on my porch for easy pickup.

If interested please email off list for address.

I just hate to see it go to waste.  Expires 4/2016


You see how the poster included the expiration date? You don't get that kind of detail in Medford.

Why use google?

There is nothing like taking the time to ask the list questions that are easily answered on the interwebs. A few examples:

What time is AHS done for the day?

Last night, I suddenly was unable to attach documents via Gmail (I have two
accounts, and I'm having the same problem with both). When I try, I get a
message at the top of the screen saying "Firefox has prevented this site
from opening a pop-up window." When I try to edit the pop-up blocker, the
only website named there is "itacademy.microsoftelearning.com." I am able
to attach documents with a web-based Outlook account.

I would be grateful for any insights or suggestions. Thanks.

All I want for Christmas...

Is free cardboard.

FREE: clean, flat cardboard in front of ADDRESS.

Yup. And I guarantee you someone wants it.
