Freecycle Friday is Here at Last

One woman's trash truly is another woman's (or man's) treasure. Yesterday I listed all kinds of things on Freecycle, things I have absolutely no use for and which are, therefore, trash. And people came crawling out of the woodwork -- or the internet -- eager to carry these things away.

So what was there?
A cat cube left behind by the Drama Queen's cat, a laundry basket that might have been my Grandmother's, some ends of candles, some freebies received by a friend while he was in cancer treatment, cheap-o odds and ends, some not-good-enough-to-keep videos.

But wait! There's more!
More souvenir items, more not-great videos, a day-by-day cookie calendar that I got fed up with back in February, and clock/radio that also plays CDs. And the pick of the litter:
A Nintendo game cube with 2 controllers and 3 games. Everybody and their brother wanted this one. It is, however, going to a residential treatment program where getting to play with it will be used as a reward for good behavior. I do understand why this game system was in such high demand, but nobody uses it here. They are far more into their PS2s and their Wii and their requests for a PS3. (That's what jobs are for, guys.)

Here it all (well, mostly) is outside waiting for people to come and give them new homes.
It's sort of like finding homes for a litter of puppies.
