So apparently as part of the MTA cuts the QM22 will be eliminated. The QM22 is an express bus that originates in Jackson Heights (77th St. and 31st ave.) and runs to midtown and runs during weekday rush-hours only.

Was curious to know if any one out there ever used the QM22 ? Relies on it ? Or if this cut might just be a logical one.

HI There,

So my partner and I are talking about living together some where in the next few months  (just as soon as I convince him that JH is the only place to live:) ).

He has two young cats (under one year) a boy and a girl. Both declawed, VERY sweet, they love me and they are pretty much docile little darlings.

I have an older cat, Mr.Kitty, we think he's between 11 and 12 years old. By all accounts a great cat with a bit of an attitude. He has his claws and is not afraid to use them. A few years back he was an only cat until two other cats came to live with me. When the new cats showed up he pretty much ignored me and would hiss at me if I tried to pet him after petting the other boy. After asserting his dominance with the other cats though he did get comfortable with them around and I think missed them after they passed away. (They were leukemia kitty's, Mr.K has his leukemia shot and is totally fine).

So for the past four years he's been living alone with me and enjoying it. Except when I go to work, go out anywhere,go away for a  weekend, or even go down stairs to throw out the garbage. So I'm thinking that as much as he enjoys his time with me he might have a little less separation anxiety if there were a couple of furry friends and one more human around.

I was curious if anyone has any thoughts on strategies for merging the two cat families with a minimum of flying fur, hissing and mayhem.

I'm working on an event in Central Park later in the month, that will result in about 800 - 1000 empty aluminum beverage cans each day for 8 days. We can not leave these cans in the park for recycling and have to dispose of them on our own. Contracting a private  carting company isn't an option as the expense is too great and it's hard to deal with the logistics of that inside the park.

Does anyone know of an organization that mght take these cans from us on a daily basis? Perhaps for a small donation ? There is probably a .05 cent deposit on these cans but 1000 cans only adds up to $50.

I'm also open to other wild and crazy ideas.
