Re: [LincolnTalk] mobile e-mail accidentaly sent

[Stephen Dirrane]

Hello Katherine
I’m looking to purchase an interesting mobile. If you have any for sale, please 
let me know. I trust your taste. 

Btw- I gave your ceramic hearts to my 3 daughters and the Crystal to my wife 
for Valentine’s - and they loved them. The Tiffany plate is much nicer than the 
pictures could represent.

I have Don Maillet, true Master Builder, working at my house but would like to 
introduce him to you to help with the catwalk. I could bring my landscaper then 
as well. He’s a bit slow now so a good time to get on his schedule.

Is Monday or Tuesday afternoon good for you and your husband? I’ll send photos 
of some of his work to you beforehand.

Kind regards 
Stephen Dirrane

[LincolnTalk] List of dishwasher repair info

[Karen Seo]

Thank you to all who sent me info and advice re: repairing my 
dishwasher.  Apologies for taking so long (7 weeks) to reply. I wanted 
to wait until I actually had the problem solved so I could report on the 
results.  But washing dishes by hand was much easier than 
troubleshooting or otherwise getting it fixed.  So I didn't get around 
to working on the problem until this week. I ended up having my handy 
person (Paula Robinson) look at it when she was here for some other 
work.  She's the person who installed it.  The problem was a small piece 
of plastic that was jamming a rotor of some kind.  Below is the info I 
received.


_*Repair services:*_

 * American Appliance in Waltham -- 781-893-8296 (3 votes)
 * D Boy Appliance repair -- 781-899-7000 in Waltham
 * Pete Bright at Bright Appliance Repair in Acton -- 978-263-6963
   978-486-4079
 * Hunter's Appliance in Littleton -- 978-486-4079,
   https://www.hunterapplianceonline.com

_**__*Troubleshooting advice:*_

 * Does it drain if you reset it? If so, then the drain is fine and
   something else is the problem.Possible causes -- pump failure,
   faulty electrical connection, timer failure (needed to initiate
   drain cycle).
 * Dishwasher comes apart for regular cleaning. Check filter inside the
   bottom. Needs to be taken out and cleaned periodically. It just
   twists out. (several people)
 * Try to clear the drain -- I did remove/clean the easily accessible
   parts at the bottom, probably what people meant by clean
   filter/regular cleaning.   I did not do any further taking apart of
   things or try to access the drain pipe to check for blockage.
 * Check dishwasher's instruction manual for directions on how to
   unclog various filters and connections on the bottom of the
   dishwasher -- If you don't have the manual, it is probably available
   on line.
 * Do Google search for the make, model, and error message.
 * 10 year old dishwasher is old. An appliance person can take a look
   and tell you whether it's worth fixing or not. A nice, quiet Bosch
   can be obtained for about $600-800 depending on what features you want.

Re: [LincolnTalk] Speaking to Children About War

[Sara Mattes]

Many years ago ( as in 1983), many of us were dealing with this topic - the US 
invaded Grenada and there was the threat of nuclear war seemed ever-present.
Mr. Rogers had 5 days in a row dedicated to talks about nuclear war.
It was prompted by the upcoming showing of a TV movie called, “the Day After.”
It was a wonderful series and I am still trying to find the YouTube videos.
The series was called “Conflict."
https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/562320/when-mr-rogers-taught-kids-about-nuclear-destruction
 


It might be worthwhile to see how Mr.Rogers confronts something he believed we 
couldn’t entirely shield our little ones from.

It is tragic and scary that we are having this conversation, once again.

Best,
Sara

Sounds like too much media.  We were exposed to many personal war stories

[LincolnTalk] Speaking to Children About War

[Margit Griffith]

Dear Neighbors,

I was recently asked, "How do I speak to my grandchildren about war?"  For a 
moment, I had to pause; children and war do not belong in the same sentence.  
Sadly, children are all too often among the casualties - of life, of 
home/place, of emotional stability - when there is war.  But for those who are 
far away, how do we help them understand?  My answer to this is layered.

For small children, thinking about war is not in their wheelhouse.  There is no 
reason to bring their attention to it, to discuss it in front of them, to have 
them see the news.  Our responsibility as parents and caring adults is to 
shield them from this.  What they do need is to learn the values of kindness, 
caring, sharing, being a good friend.  But we know, kids pick-up on things, 
especially their parents' emotions - and I love this book... it not only names 
what they might be feeling, but also gives them some action to take...  The 
Breaking News, by Sarah Lynne Reul   
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-U3lF5Ei_E(this Youtube video is the 
author reading the story)

With values lessons shared with very young children, there is a foundation to 
explain war to slightly older children.  War is not kind nor caring.  War is 
about grabbing, not sharing.  War is not about friendship.  The values we 
raise-up as most important can be compared to the lack of values warring 
represents.  We can talk about the Nobel Peace Prize and the Peace Corps in 
addition to talking slightly about what a child may have heard about what's 
happening in the world.

Children in later middle school ages and above can have a frank discussion 
about why the war is taking place.  What is being fought over?  Why now?  Who 
are the key players?  This is a time to mention your concern about loss of 
life, the emotional damage to survivors, the refugees wars produce.  Share your 
feelings as well as the facts.  Naming feelings of concern, frustration, anger 
- all the emotions - helps children identify the things they are feeling... it 
gives it a name.  Knowing how you feel and letting others know how you feel is 
a life skill.

For young children, they should be shielded from the TV.  For older children, 
if you decide to watch news broadcasts (IF!), it should be limited and watched 
with you (for later discussion).  At all times and will all children, parents 
and caring adults should reassure them they are safe.  That you are there to do 
everything in your power to keep them safe. If children fixate on or become 
truly anxious about what's going on, call your pediatrician.  They are (or 
should be) wonderful resources for helping you parent on all levels.  They can 
help you determine if your child's reaction is on an anticipated spectrum or if 
there is concern.

If you have any questions or would like to talk about your concerns, you can 
hit the "Ask Margit" button on First Parish in Lincoln's website for Children, 
Youth, and Families... https://www.fplincoln.org/children-youth-and-families/

Yours in Care and Compassion,
Margit

I am looking for something similar for our dog and cat the week of April Break

unable to find any now… please send info to me too!
