scooter stolen

[marylu.livejournal.com]

Hello!  I just had my scooter stolen overnight.  It's a blue Piaggio Typhoon, looks like this:
except it's a broken-down piece of crap with scratches everywhere and all the lights and mirrors broken off or held on with duct tape.  Really, there is no reason anyone would steal it except to be an asshole. 
The thieves would have had to roll it away, so they couldn't have taken it very far -- I live on Essex Street (near City Hall) so if you are nearby, would you keep your eye out?  And write to me at marylumendonca at yahoo if you happen to see anything?
Thanks!

Affordable Vet?

Hi all!

I'm hopeful you guys will be able to help me out as I know the DS LJ is full of pet lovers! My partner and I have recently started new jobs and are looking for an affordable vet or low cost clinic in the area to have our beloved Daisy treated for an ear infection. Money is really tight, but we don't want to delay. We're looking for somewhere that will be low on cost, or willing to work with us on a payment plan to get her healthy.

Your thoughts/advice are most appreciated!

Best,

Heidi
