I nearly got booted from our local freecycle when I responded, "some of you should take up fictional writing as your next career". :eek:

While I am sure there are some hard luck cases out there, I get the feeling alot of them are made up stories. I know, that is on them....I am just giving stuff away, but, sheesh. Just tell me, "hey, I want that item", and spare me the drama.

Sorry. Just my take. :(

No offense taken. I have had a similar reaction at times. I'm sure some of those people were pulling my leg, and I know that the family that ended up taking the bunk beds probably could have afforded to buy a set, themselves. They weren't a "hard luck" case, just a family that could use them and of course, "free" is better than buying, anytime! They drove up to our house in two vehicles, a van, and a limosine! They had bought a used limosine for safety reasons in transporting their big family! It was actually pretty cool and has been a neat freecycle story to tell! And yes, we met all six of the children!!!! :)
