The neighbor is concerned that she might try to steal her flowers. The post sparks a discussion about cyclists on the bike path and their lack of kindness towards others.
A Lost Green Parrot with a Distinctive Laugh
A resident posts about her lost green parrot, Paco, who has a very distinctive laugh. The parrot was last seen a few months ago, and the owner hopes that someone in the neighborhood can help find him. Concerns are raised about the parrot's laughs, particularly when children are around.
Looking for a Toddler Tutor
A parent posts seeking a tutor for her two-year-old child a few times a week to ensure he is getting enough education time. She wants someone to come and teach him the alphabet and numbers. The parent is looking for a dedicated tutor who can make learning fun for her toddler.
The Importance of Kindness on the Bike Path
A resident highlights the need for kindness on the bike path in Dignity Falls, sharing a personal experience of being yelled at by a cyclist. The post emphasizes that cyclists should be considerate and respectful towards others on the path, regardless of their ability or age.
The Poster of Apples
A resident expresses frustration over someone trying to get rid of a large poster of apples, questioning why they can't just throw it away themselves. The post suggests that the resident doesn't understand why someone would try to give away or sell something that seems worthless to them.
