OT Freecycle finder
Just a heads up on a new thing for freecyclers.
http://www.freecycle.org/finder lets you put in a phrase of something you're looking for, and your geographic area. It will search all the local freecycle posts for it, and also let you sign up for email alerts about future posts. NAYY. -- Kathy A.

Yep, I use Freecycle when I can around here. It's a good place to trade
and find homes for things you don't need. Around here we seem to get a lot more "I want" postings rather than "I am offering". Ginger in CA |

I found a home for some stuff (old books and an even older stereo
components), and I got an almost new faux fur coat and a new friend with Freecycle. Linda "Ginger in CA" wrote in message ups.com... Yep, I use Freecycle when I can around here.

Boy do I understand. I'm on the Sonoma County list and I stopped
reading because it just got crazy with people asking for stuff. Jenn in Northern CA. |

I've had a similar problem. I have only once put a want ad up and I
tried to be specific so I wouldn't waste anyone's time. I almost completely gave up the idea of freecycling knowing that people would be such jerks. I will list things, but probably won't ask for anything again. I did get a bowling ball to put in my garden through freecycle... Fun! I'd like to have a dozen more, the wilder the better! I have turned into the crazy cat lady in the pink house that lived down the street from us when I was growing up. Well minus the cats and the pink house. But there is still time for that! ) Carol in TX Need therapy? Make a quilt! |
