Free Stuff

Aug. 16th, 2011 01:59 pm
Been doing some cleaning. Below are some things that I think are worth giving to people I know rather than throwing in to the "Free Stuff" pile on my curb. If you are interested in any of the below, let me know. If I can get it to you in person it's free. If you want me to mail it, tell me what you think it's worth for my effort, plus shipping.

Purses:
Want a purse?
Includes a few dress clutch bags on the right.

Conference bags:
Want a conference bag?
Includes one with laptop padding.

Toiletry bags:
Want a toiletries bag?

Travel containers:
Want a travel container?
Please note that the three on the right, the blue and the two white ribbed ones, are 4oz containers, which I bought before the TSA made their rule that you can't bring containers with liquids larger than 3oz. Therefore these three are good for land/sea travel, or for checked airline luggage.

You get what you pay for, Librivox edition

Dear Librivox,

If a volunteer reader refers to it as "Libraryvox," chances are she's not going to do any better reading the rest of Frankenstein.

No loves,

Me

Dear Librivox Volunteer Readers,

If you can't read through an entire chapter without stumbling, use an editor. If you can't use an editor, or if you can't read through an entire sentence without stumbling, read to children at a local library instead reading to discriminating adults via Librivox.

No Loves,

Me

(P.S. I understand that dyslexia is a real disability. That doesn't mean that I want to listen to the product of your dyslexia rather than listening to Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, or, The Modern Prometheus.)

I'm looking for a free and/or open source program that will let me edit .pdf files and save them partially filled in and continue them later. Any suggestions?

Edit: I use a Mac.

Cleaning: Free Stuff

Jul. 25th, 2007 06:00 pm
None of the below are available any more, as I've completed the cleaning and moveout. Yay!

If you are within driving distance of me and want any of the below, let me know; some are small enough to be mailable. Some of it's vague b/c I'm too lazy to write too much about it or b/c I haven't yet created a full pile but I know I will by the end of the summer; I can clarify more if you want stuff or want to know what it is. Nearly everything is used, with condition ranging from "needs cleaning" to "like new," with a few random items being unused. Clothing that does not get claimed will go to Goodwill, the others will go on the sidewalk with a "free" sign or to Freecycle. As items go away I will strike them off the list. New items will go on the top.


  1. Assorted bath/shower/floofy stuff - fizzy bath scents, bath beads, hair spray/goop, scent spray, lotions, etc. Most have been partially used, some I've had for years.

  2. Assorted purses/handbags


  3. Assorted computer/wiring items - 2 keyboards, 1 mouse, wireless keyboard/mouse (having problems), phone wires, speaker wires, Win98 copied CD, parallel port wire, wires for old HDs to motherboards... Put on lawn w/ FREE sign for first taker.

  4. Reading glasses Ditto.

  5. Book on tangrams - book and 2 sets of plastic pieces. Good for kids already in school. Mailable if you reimburse me. Ditto.

  6. Bike Computer - one of those little units where you have a sensor on a wheel and it measures your speed and distance and things like that. Mailable. Claimed by [livejournal.com profile] rumorofrain

  7. Logo T-shirts - sizes S, M, L. All have been worn, most are in like-new condition. Being donated to the family of a student at my school whose house burned down w/ all their posessions inside. (No injuries reported.) Family includes two adult women (a college student and her mother), 2 young girls, and a young boy.

  8. Assorted other clothing - I wear size S/XS on top, M (8 or 10) on bottom. Ditto.

  9. Assorted shoes - I usually wear size 7 or 7.5 in dress shoes/boots, and size 8-9 in sneakers/causual boots/shoes. I've more dress to get rid of than casual ones, as I buy them thinking they fit and after an evening of wear I'm limping, and I forget to return them, so most of these are worn once but will be dusty or scuffed from sitting in boxes. Ditto.

  10. Christmas gift bags - some are generic winter holiday. Mailable. Free-signed

  11. Nintendo NES w/ assorted games - I have two NESs, one does not work, the other needs blowing on most of the time. Going to [livejournal.com profile] kelsin.

  12. Assorted winter hats, including a Sherlock Holmes -style one. Goodwill

  13. Handmade clay plates set, dark green glaze, clunky style. Sizes from cake plates to dinner plates, flat bottoms w/ a lip, some have small chips, not dishwasher or microwave safe. These served me well throughout college from a friend's roommate, but I haven't used them in years. Free-signed

  14. Random other useful pottery Free-signed

  15. Stuffed dolls - from 6" tall to 3' tall, mostly bunnies and teddy bears. Need a dusting, vacuuming, or washing machine. Good for you or gifts. Designated for neighbors

  16. Birdcage in POOR condition - this one probably should go to the trash, but I can't bear to throw it out w/o seeing if anyone wants to fix it up. It's 13"x17"x24", 3/4" bar spacing, rounded top, metallic rusted bars - new owner should paint the cage w/ a non-toxic paint that won't flake, or get it powder coated or something. I will NOT give this to you if you're going to use it as-is or resell it, it's dangerous to a bird as-is, and is why I'm/Gabe's no longer using it. Garbage
