Vini: (and all)

We have bird dogs, and also have a problem every year with what works..After a lot of trail and error, we now alternate each year between Frontline and Advantix..this year the advantix seems to be doing the trick…the frontline had almost no effect at all.

Nothing scientific we did, just trial and error..but you may want to ask your vet about this..Our neighbor finds only Frontline works for his dog, so go figure!  I’ve tried adding garlic to their food, etc, but after watching them suffer, we went back to commercial alternatives.

I can’t believe Habitat led Howard go! The place will never be the same. He did a great job! He will be missed by all.

Howard if you are reading this, please let us know where you are.

God Bless You

Subject: The Firing of Howard Alston

The Firing of Howard Alston came as no surprise to me, or probably anyone else that was aware of his treatment from Habitat. Seems he was employed there for 6 or more years, was a favorite with customers, did his job and more. To be relegated to an obscure back room, sorting thru mounds of donated household goods was a dreadful demotion and almost an insult. It almost seems someone wanted him out of their way or wanted him to be less visible. But wait- it can’t be- we are talking about Habitat For Humanity- the do- gooders of Pittsboro? Again I say, Habitat- the Iron Fist in a Velvet Glove.

Subject: What I love about this chatlist….

We were having problems with our home air condition unit and did  not want to call the same repair person we had previously called…we were  over charged and not happy with his lack of knowledge.

So this time we asked  around and low and behold we found Wayne Burke…he was AMAZING…came out twice  filled unit with 2#free on and checked for leaks and it was half the price I expected!!!!!…it was amazingly reasonable and such a great and professional  fella…

Subject: Howard Alston No Longer Employed At Habitat

In early April of this year, Habitat Director Suzann Stevens announced changes in the Habitat staff:
Howard (Alston) has transitioned to Home Store Too where he too will be focusing on volunteerism. As Home Store Too’s Volunteer Manager we’ve called upon Howard to step outside of his previous role of operational manager to help Home Store Too achieve a high level of success.”

Fact: Howard Alston is no longer employed by Habitat.
