Amy - Katie freecycle

[Guest guest]

Wow, I'm thankful that the closest active one to me, that I'm apart of, allows

2 requests/per week, not 1/month. That is very restrictive. Sometimes folks

don't think to post something and then when someone posts something they need,

then they offer it to them.

It's all good. We've got reminders about " giving till it feels good, but not

until it hurts " . Lots of us give away and recieve. What a great thing

Freecycle is for the planet. We have to be patient, helpful and generous with

each other as we endevor to serve others and keep things out of our landfills.

The main thing is to try to outgive more than you recieve. It always surprises

me the things that folks offer and folks want. Freecycle is a very good thing,

we we use it to bless others.

I got my pressure cooker on freecycle, too.

I also happen to be the owner of our local freecycle group. People accuse me

of being abrupt and a stickler, too. I am, both. When people join they are

told the rules and I expect then to abide. In case they forget, the rules are

posted once a month to refresh their memories.

About the month wait before asking again. Go to the group home site and

select messages. In the search bos, type in your email address. It will pull

up all of your messages posted to the group. You can see the date that you last

asked for a particular item.

I'll do it right now....I just don't keep track of when the month is up, and

they are sticklers. One of the list moms is pretty abrupt in her posts and

it always sets me on edge, feeling like the chastised child.
