[LincolnTalk] seeking snow removal help

[Karen Seo]

My regular snow shoveler broke his shoulder. So I need someone to clear 
snow from paths, gates, feed pens, hayfeeders, etc.  Can take all day if 
there's a lot of snow.  I can supply snow blower and shovel.  Please 
send recommendations to me and I'll compile and post.  Thank you.

Re: [LincolnTalk] cat toys and climbing

[Carol Bickford via Lincoln]

Lucky You!

Cats vary in what they like.  While one of mine goes crazy for a tunnel, 
another could care less.  One prefers string (as long as a human is dragging it 
around) and another loves balls.  The simplest being rolled up newspaper to bat 
around. Cardboard boxes are another play thing. Catnip toys are a favorite. 
These can be DIY too 😊. A baby sock works if you aren’t a sewer(knot the end).  
I find rotating toys is good too. For example, I will put the tunnel away when 
I am tired of looking at it and bring it out again later. Laser pen lights are 
good. I have found that investing in an office type laser pointer has been 
easier on my fingers and the animal variety. I also found they last longer. 
Although the quality of the pet toy variety has improved over the years.

Some cats prefer to be high as in perching up over everybody and others are 
more ground dwellers. Once you have an idea what your cat is, you can tailor 
the cat condo to the height they like. Mine are all climbers, so I have a 
ladder (that I have attached toys to) so they can climb up on top of a bookcase 
to hang out.  I actually have a series of wall shelves and they can chase each 
other up one side and down the other.  This can be DIY or there are many 
options on Etsy and such.

  You will need some good scratch posts.  My ladder has several places where I 
glued thick jute rope.  They use that a lot!  Katris has some wonderful 
cardboard forms that they can lounge on and scratch.(Amazon or their website) 

Take time to learn how to clip/trim their claws- unless they will be outdoor 
cats (they need their sharp claws outside!)

Have fun. If you are having fun, your cat will be too.

Re: [LincolnTalk] cat toys and climbing

[June L Matthews]

Hi, Debra.  Congratulations on joining the community of  cat-fanciers.  (“Dogs 
have owners.  Cats have staff.”  “Dogs answer when you call to them.  Cats take 
a message and get back to you.”)

The toy that my cat(s) continue to love is the wand, with a cord and a feather 
or (catnip) mouse  at the end of it.  Of course, this requires a human at the 
other end to wave it around.  You can also use a laser pointer to let the cat 
chase the red dot, but that can be frustrating for the cat because she can 
never catch it.  More passive toys – my cats loved a tunnel, but I eventually 
put it away because it was taking up space on my living room floor and I was 
always tripping over it.  I may get it out again sometime.  And I have a 
floor-to-ceiling “cat condo”, with a cozy hidey-hole and a top level perch.  
(When my cats were younger they’d fly through the air to get there; now they 
have to climb up.)  These can be expensive, but well worth it, in my view, and 
they can be attractive enough to blend in with your own furniture.  I have had 
limited success with “automatic” battery-operated toys, like the one 
recommended by Leslie.  There’s also one that you can hang on a closet door.  
But cats will be cats, and mine seem to crave human interaction.  I’m also 
fortunate that I live in a house with a (front) balcony) and a (rear) patio – 
lots of opportunity for bird- and squirrel-watching from safety indoors.  I’ve 
never tried “Kitty TV” – maybe others have?

What is your cat’s name?  Mine is Daphne.

All best,

June

Re: [LincolnTalk] cat toys and climbing

[Leslie Turek]

I will recommend the one toy that has held my cat's attention for many
months. He plays with it several times a day and has not yet tired of it. I
will warn you, though, that it runs through batteries very quickly, so the
best thing to do is also get a set of rechargeable batteries to go with it.

[LincolnTalk] My Father's bio, Thank you

[Bijoy Misra]

Dear friends,
Some of you may recall that I was requested by the Government of India
to put together a bio of my father for their event of the 75th anniversary
of India's independence.  It took me two years to complete the project. I
sent the manuscript last June. It was reviewed by their literary panel and
was formally moved for publication early this month.  The book is in my
native
language Odia and it will be translated to major Indian languages including
English. The publication date is likely 2023 summer.
Ther book is the story of a brilliant young man who left college to join
the
India's freedom struggle and eventually made himself into a progressive
poet of the masses.  His political troubles in the '70s with the Government
were among the causes prompting me to leave India for the US.
Through this note, I thank my neighbors and the townspeople for their
sympathy and support in this project.  Writing about my father, I did come
across episodes of freedom of expression here in Lincoln Talk and did
learn facets of human sentiment from many debates in this Forum.
I wish to thank Lincoln Talk and many readers who communicate with me
on topics of interest.
Best regards,
Bijoy Misra

[LincolnTalk] FS: HP LaserJet Pro toner cartridges deeply discounted

[Christina Van Vleck]

Dear Neighbors with HP Printers,

After purchasing replacement printer toner along with a used HP LaserJet 
printer three years ago, I just discovered that the cartridges aren’t actually 
compatible with my printer. So I’m selling the toner deeply discounted in hopes 
it will be useful to someone out there who might have the right printer match. 
Please note that it seems the black ink is compatible with different printers 
than the color 3-pack.

Genuine HP 26X High Yield Black Original LaserJet Toner Cartridge, CF226X 
(compatible with HP LaserJet Pro M402dw, M402dn, M402n, M426fdw, M426fdn, 
M402dne)
https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/pdp/hp-26x-high-yield-black-original-laserjet-toner-cartridge
Retails for $238.99 - Asking $100 
* Please note that I just opened the plastic shell that holds this cartridge 
two days ago, not realizing that it was incompatible with my printer. I didn’t 
even remove the cartridge from the shell, so it should be in perfect condition.

Genuine HP 305A 3-pack Cyan/Magenta/Yellow Original LaserJet Toner Cartridges, 
CF370AM (compatible with HP LaserJet Pro M451dw, M451dn, M451nw, M375nw)
https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/pdp/hp-305a-3-pack-cyan-magenta-yellow-original-laserjet-toner-cartridges
Retails for $393.99 - Asking $200
*Sealed, unopened boxes

Pick-up or I can drop-off anywhere in Lincoln.

Thanks so much,

Christina
