I used to be on this thing called Freecycle where people gave stuff they didn't need anymore to people who did. I picked up an exersaucer

for my kiddo from these total strangers and it was suuuper awkward lol

But I was SO glad that I did it, because it saved me all that money and kiddo used the exersaucer ALL the time

lots of them speaking to eachother in spanish, and somewhere in there i kinda got accused of stealing 5 bucks from them.

lol okay yours is worse

haha. and YES! I love freecycle!

Though it always seems the stuff I post on there NOBODY wants. and I HATE just throwing stuff away. lol

wha? stealing 5 bucks?

Yeah. Ok, they bought some little girl clothes that Ophelia and Emma have outgrown and I charged them 3 dollars for what they had. The girl

was going to give me a five for the clothes, and she needed change. Well, then They were paying for the washer, dryer, and everything all at

once and she hands me a hundred. I take the hundred, give her back the five, and go inside to get change. I come back out because I realize

my purse isn't here. Josh ended up going to work with it. Well, I come ba

ck out and explain that I dont' have change, and was going to tell them they could just pay me tomorrow (we are delivering the stuff for

them) and then they found different bills to use. Well then the only spanish speaking mother says somehthing to the daughter, about the five

and the daughter asks me about it. I told her I gave it back. She believes me but then the mother says something again. and says something

about when I went inside. "casa" well, the girl ends up looking through her wallet because I guess they think i'm wrong, and eventually find

s it. I mean, come on people, why would I take your five dollars when you are paying me almost 100 for the stuff i sold you? then the girl

is telling me I should take the stuff I'm selling over to her garage sale in the morning and she will sell it for me. "you can trust me" she

says. Ha. Just, kind of weird. And now she's calling me. Ugh. Kinda wished I wouldn't have even called them back in teh first place.

you have to be REALLY careful with craigslist people anyway. A few years back some guy went on a killing spree killing the gals in the adult

entertainment section. You never know what kind of whacko is going to show up at your place

I've bought stuff and always make sure I take someone with me if I have to go pick it up
