Someone came to my house to get the table and chairs I had posted on craigslist but they mistakenly took my patio chairs as well and my daughters yellow and black baseball hitting device. My address is .... Please return these items. You may just leave them on the front porch. Thanks

I know that when I was a child, pretending to be a waitress was all I ever did.

Bunch of used waitress aprons - Free!! ***PENDING PICK UP***
Reply to: XXX
Date: 2008-02-12, 12:10AM EST

I have a whole bunch of used aprons from my waitressing and bar-tending days. They are all black. 2 of them have a white and red "Lone _____ Steakhouse & Saloon" logo on the lower corner of one of the pockets.(Not sure If I can mention the whole name due to trademark rights, But I am sure everyone knows what restaurant I am talking about.)

Included in one of the apron pockets is a "Credit Card" book. These are those black rectangular vinyl books that you get your bill in with a slot to slide in your credit card when it comes time to pay.

These would be good for anyone who has to provide their own aprons for work or a child who wants to play dress up as a waitress. There are quite a few of these aprons.

I will wash them again before sending them out to you, but keep in mind these are USED. I worked for way toooo many years as a waitress/bartender and they are ready to be retired from my waist and ready to be wrapped around someone else's.

Free to someone that can use them!!

FREE cut out of britney spears. life size. she is in kind of rough shape due to the fact that she has been tossed around a few times at parties. so i guess it kind of is like the real britney spears. not to damaged though. the cut out is an advertisement for PEPSi. back when she was normal.

Sometimes the suggestions of what to do with an item is better than the item itself...

This is the first entry...

...and none of the following Craigslist posts involve couches. These are all real, taken from mid January to yesterday. This will be a longer post than normal to give you a taste of what I have. From here on out, there will only be a few posts a day tops. Enjoy!

First up, my favorite type of free listing, the ol' I-Have-No-Idea-What-This-Is-Take-It-Please...

Free bag of ...something

Date: 2008-02-25, 1:28PM MST


Hi I have a free bag with some stuff in it. I found i behind the couch lol, so I think there are like some gadget cords and a jacket, I can probably find some more stuff if you're willing to take it. Thanks!!!

-----------------------------

Expired food anyone?

Milk * Beans
Reply to: XXXXXXX@craigslist.org
Date: 2008-02-26, 4:55PM HST

12 gallons of milk available (10 2%, 3 Whole). They are expired, but have been kept in freezer since purchase. Although some suggest thawed milk is best for cooking/baking (vs drinking), it is really a matter of preference as the only difference is in consistency...Would VERY much appreciate a donation, but don't let that discourage you - I would rather it go to someone who can USE it =0)

Also have 5 bags of beans, all unopened. 3 are expired (2 Pinto, 1 Red), 2 do not have expiration dates (both Kidney)...No donation necessary.

Pick-up only.

----------------------------

This one personally amuses me. There are perks to working on a film set...

Potatoes & Pears
Reply to: XXXXX@craigslist.org
Date: 2008-02-26, 10:28AM PST

My husband brought home a big sack each of small white potatoes and pears from a film shoot. He gets off work too late to swing by a food bank. Too much for us to eat before it all goes bad. I'll hang the bags in front of XXX Santa Clara AVe.

----------------------------

Continuing the food theme...

Free Pancakes
Reply to: XXXXXX@craigslist.org
Date: 2008-02-22, 10:36AM EST

We made too many pancakes today so we've got some left over. These were delicious, made from a mix, but also with eggs and milk/cream, and nothing would make us happier than to share a homemade breakfast with you.

So come on and get some while the getten's good

-----------------------

Oof... some details need to be left unsaid...

My Dog Died
Reply to: XXXXX@craigslist.org
Date: 2008-02-24, 1:34AM PST

I have 2 leashes,canned food,dry food,and a sleeping pad (needs a cleaning)

------------------------

And some things need to be thrown out...

free flowers
Reply to: XXXXX@craigslist.org
Date: 2008-02-24, 2:53PM PST

i have some flowers that were bought a few days ago from trader joes. they are beautiful and nearly dead but i'm sure someone can get a couple hours use out of them. they're in the trash can on the side of my house. email me for the address and you can come get them any time.

------------------------

There are many perils to the free listings. It is quite often that people accidentally take more than what is offered for free. This honestly sounds like a real theft, but the lesson here is never leave your shit unattended...

COME ON PEOPLE! BRING BACK MY.....

I SAID "ANYTHING UNDER THE TARP AND THE DOUBLE SINK! NOT MY GARBAGE CAN AND MY FLOWER POT! AND MY PATIO TABLE THAT I JUST BOUGHT. I WAS TRYING NICE! PLEASE BRING IT BACK. THANK YOU.
YOU GOT A LOT OF FREE STUFF. I WANT MY FLOWER POT AND KITCHEN GARBAGE CAN BACK. AND MY TABLE. I HAVE THE CHAIRS THAT GO WITH IT. THANK GOD I WAS USING THEM IN THE BACK. NO MORE PEOPLE PLEASE. THAT IS JUST DISGUSTING!

Anyone want an Ostrich? Yes, I said that right...

We will give a beautiful ostrich male to a worthy home. The lucky recipient must be knowledgeable and must have appropriate fencing to house an ostrich.
You will be required to catch, load and haul this bird WITHOUT our assistance. These birds are known to be dangerous so only qualified handlers need reply

There's always a few folks trying to hand out "free advice", but this guy has built a whole identity around it. But don't ask anything about health, business, or taxes...

You have problems?
Need a second opinion?
Fashion emergency?
Just need to get something off your chest?

Send me your dilemma and I'll see if I can help. You may not like what I have to say, but hey - it's a second opinion... and it's FREE! It's there's no strings, no obligations.

Why do I do this? Because I'm concerned that I haven't done my part in this crazy world to pull my own weight. I'm trying to boost my karma. Call me selfish.

UPDATE: I've had a wonderful response and have been able to talk to many, many people. I hope you are all doing well. Thanks for your emails!

Well that's it for today. I will now leave you with a song...for comfy chairs. Until next time...

There's a chair in my car port

To the tune of "There's a Hole in my Bucket."

There's a chair in my carport, Dear Reader, Dear Reader,
There's a chair in my carport, Dear Reader, A chair.

What sort of chair is it, Dear Writer, Dear Writer,
What sort of chair is it, Dear Writer, what sort?

It's a comfy blue armchair, Dear Reader, Dear Reader,
It's a comfy blue armchair, Dear Reader, comfy.

What's the matter with the chair, Dear Writer, Dear Writer,
What's the matter with the chair, Dear Writer, What's wrong?

My Sister's cat got to it, and scratched it, Dear Reader,
And it doesn't recline very easily now.

Why would I want to take it, Dear Writer, Dear Writer,
Why would I want to take it, Dear Writer, tell why?

Because it's comfy and soft, Dear Reader, Dear Reader,
It's comfy and soft, Dear Reader, so soft.

It would be good in my game room, when I'm watching the TV,
Or out in my garage, Dear Writer, in my garage.

But there's still a chair in my carport, Dear Reader, Dear Reader,
There's still a chair in my carport, Dear Reader, still there.

So reply to my posting, Dear Reader, Dear Reader,
And you can have it, Dear Reader, have it.
