had no idea "googliser" was a verb. “@LeFigaro_Emploi: Google : «On googlise les candidats, bien sûr» http://t.co/1UV5oF19”
Definitely not rooting for that hoity toity Pekingese, that's for damn sure. #Westminster
I'm, like, okay with being a little crazy.
The time, energy, words, weight lost, nails bitten, scabs picked and nights I've struggled thru for this are easy to judge from afar, right?

I used to belong to our local freestyle, but very often people wouldn't be home for appointments or they wouldn't show up to pick up items or the item wasn't what was posted. Also, we specifically weren't allowed to request laptops. On three occasions I did receive exactly what was offered, and on one occasion the item was sort of what was offered. Sometimes you get what you pay for, sometimes you get more.

Freecycle.org*

Yeah, I also used to belong - until the neighbor that lives across the street from my mom started as a modeator. She and her husband made a business out of getting the free stuff and having a garage sale every weekend with their free stuff.

Oh good grief. Freecycle is already bombarded with ridiculous "want" requests as it is - and you're actually ADVISING people to post more, as if they have a snowball's chance in hell of receiving pricey electronics for free? The purpose of Freecycle is to give used items a new life with someone else, and to save them from the landfill. Old clothes, furniture, dishes, magazines, toys, etc. Generally, nothing you couldn't pick up at your local Goodwill or yardsale for a couple of bucks - or free if you were curb-crawling at the right time. Believe me, nobody is out there waiting to give you a free laptop, flat-screen monitor, MP3 player, Blu-ray player, digital camera, Wii, Playstation, car, motorcycle, riding lawnmower, or any of the expensive and totally unrealistic requests I've seen on my local Freecyle. Shame on you, Jon Chase, for not exercising a little common sense in your writing.

Bravo, Christine! I frequent freecycle to offer out any clothes, books and toys of my children have outgrown, and see so many people asking for brand new electronics, toys, etc. The purpose of it is to get rid of your unwanted items that someone might get some use out of. If you have a brand new ipod or laptop you want off your hands, you're going to ebay, and not freecycle! Please don't go sign up for freecycle now, so that you can ask for these things!
