[LincolnTalk] 5 way closed down

2024-07-18 Thread Paula Robinson via Lincoln 
Hi all,
If you’d like to save yourself some wasted time and aggravation, please avoid 
the five way as it looks like there may have been some type of accident or 
phone pole down.  A lot of wires, large transformer type apparatus, etc. in the 
road.

Police and fire have it blocked completely.

Best,

Paula Robinson

Re: [LincolnTalk] Black Bear Sighting ; animal control officer

2024-05-13 Thread Paula Robinson via Lincoln 
All, It really doesn’t matter whether the image was AI produced (although it is not).  I originally posted a video of this EXACT bear stealing my bird feeder last week.  The video clearly shows the edge of my house and back yard.I’m disappointed some feel the need to be suspicious and suggest someone in town would waste their time creating an AI image.  What would be the benefit??Regards,Paula Robinson617.981.1945On May 13, 2024, at 1:00 PM, ROY HARVEY  wrote:

 I wondered whether the bear was a hoax when I saw the photo of him/her with the ear tags standing up with the feeder. However, when I looked closely at the photo posted yesterday by pspeert on Fox Run Lane I could see the ear tags, and then I began to feel alas it's not someone's idea of a joke.
 

  
 

 Does Lincoln have an animal control dept? I don't see one on the Town website.

   I ran the image through isitai.com, and got the result 74.94% likely AI, which it interprets to mean "somewhat likely" to be generated by AI. So not really sure one way or another. If it is AI, I would be shocked that a contributor to this forum would submit a fake image and pass it off as real, so I'm really hoping that's not the case.

 I am receiving feedback from people I've shared this with that this photo is an AI fake.  I have no doubt that we have a bear in Lincoln because it ransacked my trash can on Friday evening.  But, wonder if this photo is for real.

[LincolnTalk] Posting for a dear friend…

2023-09-09 Thread Paula Robinson via Lincoln 

Hello LT,

I’d like to introduce you to Bella, a 6 year old terrier/dachshund mix. 

Due to terminal illness and life changing circumstances I have to move into 
assisted living and cannot take my Bella with me.  

I’ve been trying to reach out to everyone I know to get out word that I need to 
re-home Bella immediately and cannot I just cannot bear to surrender her to a 
shelter.

This is really REALLY hard. 😢

Bella is a darling wire-haired terrier/dachshund mix. She's incredibly sweet 
and affectionate (really, she's like a cat sometimes), but she can be quite 
nervous and anxious around new people.

Since learning of my need to move into assisted living, I have had her working 
with a dog trainer and I am very optimistic she's going to gain confidence and 
be more comfortable with other people. She has responded quite well to clicker 
training, and she's very food motivated!

In order to find her the perfect forever home, I can arrange to have her 
dropped off anywhere in New England.

To give full disclosure, Bella has ONCE nipped a dog sitter: This was my 
mistake as  it was absolutely the wrong situation for her that I should have 
NEVER put her in (a group of strange dogs and a new environment). Needless to 
say the situation was very stressful for her.

I don’t know how she is with children, but as said, she is very anxious & 
nervous in new situations. My thought is that she would be adopted by a person 
or couple without children or empty nesters.

Similarly, I do not know how she would be with cats.

Bella is up to date with all vaccinations and is a happy and healthy companion. 
 She has had no trauma nor previous health issues.

I would appreciate anyone interested to contact my good friend here in Lincoln 
via email at: linda.lame...@gmail.com









Thank you,

Paula Robinson

[LincolnTalk] Missing an Australian Shepherd???

Hello All, 

I just passed an Aussie running down the hill in the middle of Bedford Road 
(headed from Route 2 toward the 5 Way).  Looks like a well taken care of dog 
but very dirty.  Was very skittish and bolted into the woods at the bottom of 
Oak Knoll Rd.

Please email me if you need more info or need help searching.

Re: [LincolnTalk] Train Warning

Hi All,

I’ve experienced the delays and two close calls - both on Tower Road.  

I don’t know if I’ll be able to trust the tracks even when they’re repaired!

As a lot of people have mentioned, I am also slowing to almost a stop at every 
RRX in town.  Be on alert and please be patient with those of us who have been 
slow/stopped at the tracks. 

Thanks!

Re: [LincolnTalk] Support for refugee family

2022-10-22 Thread Paula Robinson via Lincoln 
Hi Leah and Michael,

Hope you and the family are well.

Wondering if furniture is something the family is interested in?  I have 
several bed frames, a dresser, an upholstered armchair, etc.

If not, I’d like to make a monetary donation.

Please let me know.

Best regards,

How many of us have sump pumps in our basements, crawl spaces, etc? Move the

 NPR had a story last week about a trial project in Tucson for residents to

 gallon capacity?).  The resident interviewed said that he was able to 
 supply %90 of his water needs from the recovered rainwater - and that his 
 yard looked like a verdant oasis with green and vibrant native mesquite

 I doubt we'll have to go that far, but we can do a lot with recovered

Hi All, 

I believe on the town website it states that only commercial agricultural 
gardens are allowed to be watered.

I like Sasha’s idea using a bucket while showering.

I also have a vegetable garden which feeds my family and also keep up my 
perennial and annual gardens but when resources become low, I respect the 
requests from the town.

Let’s all try to come up with a solution to save our precious resources rather 
than getting caught up in specific language.  

I’m sure we can all come up with some really innovative and fantastic ideas to 
share!

Re: [LincolnTalk] What bird is this?

2021-08-05 Thread Paula Robinson via Lincoln 
Hi All - I agree with Rich and Bryce on the King. Additionally, Leslie, that 
was my first thought when I saw the bird.  I just heard a news report that in a 
new study, bird experts believe the illness is not being spread bird to bird 
and may be coming from birds that have ingested cicadas. There have been no 
reported cases of this illness in New England where we obviously don’t have any 
cicadas (this year).  

Hoping this mystery is solved soon as I’m missing my songbirds…
