Seriously, Freecycle is magic, except for the flake factor.
Amen. The flake factor is huge. Also, people who show up and expect you to help them move the item that you are giving away.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Hubby refuses to Freecycle anything because he dislikes strangers profiting from our stuff. He can donate to friends.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
This piano has no value to me whatsoever. And when I'm ready to get rid of something, I don't care who profits from it so long as I don't have to dust it or step over it anymore.

Friends of mine had a "free yard sale" when they moved. A bunch of stuff was left over, including (IIRC) a glass-topped patio table and 4 metal chairs. amyth put it on freecycle and in 45 minutes, someone came and picked it all up.

Ah, but you're reasonable people. Hubby . . . not so much.

Heh, Connie.
On a related note, I've found another charity auction to donate to, whee! Getting rid of at least one Vietri platter (blue and yellow swirled Murano glass) that I bought for ridic cheap but don't want, and the painted box from Russia that D gave me and I now want out of my life. Between the dog and the potential move, I have GOT to start decluttering seriously. Which reminds me... ::scurries off to Press::

The status is NOT quo.
I'm sorry, Drew.
Apparently the assistant to the US director here says that I complain and refuse to sub when other people are out, which is completely untrue and pisses me off like I can't even tell you. The thing is that she has apparently bitched to my department chair (who was the one to tell me) and the director but NEVER MENTIONED IT to me.
Seriously? Fuck you too, very much.

Uggh, Pix, wtf? I hate that kind of thing.
