Give and You Shall Receive

A friend told me about this site & I thought it was interesting

The worldwide Freecycle™ Network is made up of many individual groups across the globe. It's a grassroots movement of people who are giving (& getting) stuff for free in their own towns. Each local group is run by a local volunteer moderator (them's good people). Membership is free. To sign up, find your community by clicking on the region on the right. It will generate an automatic e-mail which, when sent, will sign you up for your local group and send you a response with instructions on how it works. Or, go directly to the Web site for your local group by clicking on your community's link on the left. Can't find a group near you? You might want to consider starting one (click on "Start a Group" for instructions). Have fun!

The Freecycle™ Network was started in May 2003 to promote waste reduction in Tucson's downtown and help save desert landscape from being taken over by landfills. The Network provides individuals and non-profits an electronic forum to "recycle" unwanted items. One person's trash can truly be another's treasure!

One main rule: Everything posted must be free, legal, and appropriate for all ages.

As Abe Lincoln once said, "Think globally, recycle locally."

Ah, Dad does that. It's pretty cool. But all we look for is computer stuff and so far someone's only had one PII 400 that we took.

The word 'abbo' is as rascist as 'niger' with 2 g's.
Don't use it again.

Not really. My family arrived in this country well after all that stuff. I just don't think its neccessarily smart or funny to use derogetory names for a people you haven't even met let alone know the slightest thing about.
Personally, I think they're lucky that the eradication stopped with tasmania.

I didn't mean it as a derogetory term...... I purely was using the word as a truncated version of Aborigine. That said, please don't labour under the impression that I actually give a toss what you think.

Hawaii has been diong this for years. It is sort of a local church thing. Just last month they gave me a free Nordic Track Ski Machine with optional pulse meter even. I'm not losing weight though because it only makes me hungry. Now. I guess I have to give away some food. We have a free food bank too.
