So personally i don't care what they do with it once it leaves my house at least i am getting rid of some clutter:) LOL </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3209#post-28021 Thu, 01 May 2008 09:01:30 +0000 Lee 28021@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I remember speaking here with someone about it a few months ago.</p> <p>It does however have it's problems, such as freeloaders, they get something they don't need to sell it on. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3209#post-28015 Thu, 01 May 2008 07:13:52 +0000 funkymom 28015@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>freecyle is great. it was posted several months ago, but it is definitely worth repeating.<br /> thanks.<br /> :D </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3209#post-28001 Thu, 01 May 2008 04:43:04 +0000 bluhoteyes 28001@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I must admit for a few friends i have supplied them with a full nursery of very nice things that weren't able to afford much i took the one girl the stuff i had gotten for her a week before she was due and she didn't have a carseat but i was able to get her one and it kept it from going in the landfill i surely love that site even though you get tons of mail if you sign up to receive all the posts:) LOL The one thing i have gotten rid of and still have like 3 more ppl on the list is empty water jugs that i use for my breathing machine they take up a lot of space in the garbage bags too so it is a win win situation if you ask me </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3209#post-27999 Thu, 01 May 2008 04:32:39 +0000 graylox 27999@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p><strong>bluhoteyes</strong> thank you for this link, found a group here in Berlin.
