Hi all: I've recently sold my home in the 2600 block of Calvert St. and the young man who has been house-sitting for me while I was traveling for the last several months now needs to find someplace else to live while he completes his MS in biotechnology. He's mature (27), polite, *incredibly*

I've got one of those houses on Calvert St. with a bit of terra cotta tile on the front roof. Some of the tiles are cracked and need repairing or replacing and I haven't a clue about who to call. Would appreciate any referrals/suggestions you can offer. Thanks, Melissa

[Chat] Extending less costly gas supplies through BGE door-to door visitors?????

2014-08-10 Thread macnmum
This weekend, I was visited by a man who said he was with the company that supplied my gas via BGE, and wanted to offer me the option to extend my contract at the lower prices which I had been receiving and were about to run out. This sounded off to me and when I asked some questions I couldn't

Emil, et al. I recently made the switch from Verizon to T Mobile and regret it. Yes, it's cheaper than Verizon (though for the amount of data and phones my son and I use, not by that much). The service is simply nowhere near as comprehensive as Verizon's and the signals aren't as strong. I

Looks to me as if whoever wrote the story about the liquor stores being in poor neighborhoods needs a lesson in grammar more than a lesson in socio-economics. The author probably meant located predominantly in poor neighborhoods rather than located in predominantly poor neighborhoods. Oh the

2011-11-28 Thread macnmum
Hey Dawna: I have had a Tempur-Pedic for 15-16 years now. I have a touchy back and I adore it. I will say that it is supposed to have a 17-year warranty and am finding that mine probably needs replacing now. But, I'm quite heavy and that would stress any mattress unduly. I also recently

Hoping I can get some new suggestions for someone to clean my home on Calvert St. But also some feedback. I've been here about 2 years now and had two different , highly recommended folks, cleaning my home...each did it for a period of several months. But I really haven't been happy with either

Now that a torturously long renovation is finally (mostly) done, I'm eager to find someone reliable for homecleaning every two weeks or so. I'd probably prefer an individual, but will go with a service, if need be. Anyone got a housecleaner that they think does a great job and has time open to

I'm still a newbie here and my 17 year old son is coming back soon from a year abroad. He'll be taking a course at Baltimore City College HS this summer and wants to bike there. I'm pretty sure a direct route wouldn't be advisable, but I'm wondering if anyone who's more familiar with
