Anyone with a fancy sewing machine?

or an embroidery machine that would be willing to do a quick piece of embrodiery? I need to have my son's name put on his stocking, and i was hoping a local Davis person might be able to help out. I'm more than willing to toss a couple bucks at you, or buy you a drink and a scone at the coffee shop of your choice. I would think it would be really quick to just embroider Liam onto the stocking. I would greatly appreciate it.

Yet another question about snow/winter/parking...

I live near ball square in an odd no man's land between Medford and Somerville. I am a resident of neither (by choice) and I generally don't have too much trouble finding street parking.. unless it snows..

Does anyone know of a place where there is overnight parking for non residents in this area during snow season? In the past I used to just park my car in alewife overnight, but they aren't currently allowing this due to construction..

christmas can bite.

For those of you feeling not so merry, being dogged by old (or new) grief, or feeling ok but just wanting to acknowlege the shadow side of the season and the weight of the darkness, my church is hosting a mellow service of music, silence and healing prayer at our place on Wednesday. It is co-sponsored by Unity Church of God (our across the street neighbors). We're both Christian churches but people of any faith and no faith are welcome to come--zero proselytizing, and we'll meet you where you are.

Here's the info:

if you are fighting depression, feeling alone, in grief, sad at the world, or just want to sing and pray in company to fight the darkness, please join us at...

Street Sweeping is done for the year!

For those of you who do not get the robocalls, one just went out (but it wasn't Tom Champion, wtf?) informing us that, among other things, street sweeping enforcement is done for the season.

Also, overnight parking will remain available for the time being at the various school lots used for snow emergencies. A list can be found here. Note that cars must be moved by 7am.

Park to your heart's content!

Hey crew,

I'm looking to donate a bunch of monitors, desktops, network gear, and possibly mice/keyboards as well as other errata. Does anyone know off the top of their heads any worthwhile organizations that could benefit from connectivity?

Be warned, I rate suggestions based on how cute and cuddly the recipients of the hardware are.

I need to get to the airport during daylight hours on Friday. Previous trips I have taken the T with no problem.
However, the recent snow plus the promise of more snow on wednesday/thursday/friday (depending on news source) makes the thought of dragging my over-sized suitcases down ice covered and possibly not cleared sidewalks the several blocks to the T station makes me nervous. (I had a hard enough time getting to work today, and that was without extra large suitcases).

I'm thinking some sort of car-type transportation where someone drives me and my luggage to Logan would be a more desirable option. I'm thinking a taxi, but i don't know who to call or how far in advance to try and set this up.
Anyone know of any that are reliable (don't want to miss my flight), safe (young single girl + enough luggage to imply being gone for several weeks, but that's just because I over pack), and cheap-ish (i'm a student but i'm aware it will cost more than the T).

Please help, I don't want to be taken for a ride!
