I'm fairly new to Freecycle and I have an etiquette question.
Someone offered a monitor yesterday and I sent an email saying I'd take it about 5 mins after the message posted. I haven't heard back and there hasn't been a post saying it's been taken. Is it pushy to send an email and ask if someone has already claimed it?
I don't think it's pushy, askye -- it may very well have been taken already (when I've put up offers, I've been pretty well swamped within minutes), but it's reasonable to expect either a "taken" post or an individual response.
I thought wearing black to a wedding was "not done".
I see lots of black at weddings nowadays. I just wore a black dress to an afternoon wedding last weekend. But it's the only maternity dress I have and so my choice was limited. I didn't stand out, though. Except for the belly.
Oh! Here's the end. That's unexpected, lalala.
Sail, I hope the itchy-puffy gets better really quickly.
Baby Ellie pictures are adorable, as is Baby Em in person.
Happy Anniversary! wishes to Nora and Tom.
And that's a wonderful LTE your MIL wrote, Aimee.
I looked at a dress I shouldn't buy last weekend, and then on Monday remembered I had a commitment ceremony this weekend. So yesterday, I did some blitz shopping, and will be attending in this and these. I may restrict jewelry to a small silver and onyx bracelet -- I'm not sure yet.
That's a fabulous ensemble, ita. The dress--the way it shades, not the construction, reminds me of that shaded grey suit Rachel wore in Blade Runner.
That dress is going to look fabulous on you, ita.
{{{Sail}}} I hope the itchiness goes away soon.

Oh, yeah. Pretty pretty pretty. I hope you have some pictures taken.
And share them.
Oh, ita - that dress is a killer. Wow!
Wowza, ita! What size are the shoes? If you don't think you'll wear them again, I'd buy them from you.
