“eat less constipation” (I think this one needs a comma) “kristin williams angel therapist” (Therapist maybe, but angel? NOT!) “Brent Hershey” “kristin williams us bank” (I wish!) “brooke glen behavioral hated” (Ashley didn’t think it was that bad) “1979 clothing styles” (I didn’t even wear these in 1979) “turkey hill westchester”So why does this stuff amuse me? I don’t know exactly. It just does. I have said it before and I’ll say it again, my natural ability to be easily amused has got to be one of God’s most wonderful gifts to me. Thank you Lord!
Another thing that amuses me are some of the ads people place on www.freecycle.org. Freecycle is an organization that has 4,753 groups with 6,767,000 members across the globe. I belong to the Chester County group and receive a fairly constant stream of emails alerting me to free objects that people have available for pick-up.
This is a group for people who firmly believe that we should attempt to limit what we put into our landfills (but secretly we just want free stuff). We acknowledge that “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.” I personally have received some treasure, and discarded some trash!
Anything and everything (except for forbidden items such as alcohol, porn, weapons, etc.) are up for grabs on Freecycle. Some samples:
“Wanted: Chain Saw“ gave me immediate (unbidden) visions of horror movies I have never watched (but the TV previews were enough for me to hit the remote with lightening speed). “Wanted: queen anne wind chair“ made me wonder if this person was looking to create a very special location in their home in which to pass gas. I am pretty certain that they intended to say “wing back chair” but “wind” was so much more amusing for me. Just saying. “Wanted: Baby Walker” I would suggest that they just take the kid out when they walk the dog. No dog? Take a trip to the SPCA or buy one at Pets ‘R Us, because you can’t get a dog on Freecycle (or a child for that matter, even though some people may think that I’ve tried). “Wanted: Round Pen“ Couldn’t they just make a Staples run? “Offer: hangers in Devon” Okay, I am not driving 45 minutes to pick up a bunch of hangers, people! (Unless the hangers happen to come with a laptop computer).Through Freecycle, I have acquired one computer (old, but usable), several audio books, a folding exercise machine that taunts me unrelentingly, and one guinea pig cage. I have unloaded all my vinyl records from the 70’s, one hamster cage, and one guinea pig cage.
I can’t wait to see what I can keep out of a landfill today! I will keep you posted on my fabulous acquisitions. And check out www.freecycle.org yourself. Perhaps you are desperately short on hangers?
