score!

ever heard of this thing called freecycle? it's through yahoo groups so you have to have a yahoo user account... anyways, it's a thing where people give away stuff in your area. like the one here is called hamiltonfreecycle. you can post stuff that you have and you'd like to give away or you can post if you're looking for something. then you just email the person and set up when you want to pick it up.

and it's really cool because then you're not just throwing stuff away and being wasteful.

my boss told me about it cuz they use it to get stuff to send to sierra leone. like mattresses, old encyclopedias, etc. it's pretty cool.

so last night, we picked up a free rowing machine! (now i can be doing something productive while i'm watching dr. phil!)

check it out and see if there's one in your area: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/hamiltonfreecycle/
