Jeannie T. In order to get hold of my group here in Payson..you have to go to Paysonfreecycle@yahoogoups.com No doubt you will have to put in a close city to you & if you haven't joined, then I guess you would join. Didn't you say you were fairly close to Clarksville, TN? You may be able to contact their headquarters in your state to find out what you have around you. This particular group started in Tucson, AZ at least 10 yrs ago & it has been going very steadily ever since then. Good luck in finding a group. The folks around here are really nice & I have yet to see anyone who was disappointed with what they got. I offered a small room heater to a gal & she said she didn't have a computer & it would be several days until she could get back to me b/c she used the computers over at our library. Well, she wrote me back on Sunday & our library is closed on Sunday. Then her return address sounded as though she was getting things for free & turning around & selling them. At that time I knew who the moderator was of our group & I contacted her & told her what I told you. I was advised to let this gal know that the heater wasn't acting correctly & I had thrown it in the garbage b/c I didn't want it to cause a fire for anyone. The girl slowed down a bit; however, she's now asking for complete rooms of furniture & all sorts of children's clothes. When she wrote me, she said she was pg 5-6 months. Quite a change. Good luck on your adventures. When I said you would have to join..I meant Yahoo as well as your freecycle group. They are a really fine group & I think you will get a kick out of them. Heading to bed b/c I have to be up early so I can go to the hospital for my pre-op tests for my knee surgery & we are hoping that Paul can get into the doctor b/c he has been very sick. ~Jen in Payson, AZ ----- Original Message ----- From: <askgranny@juno.com> To: <southern-chat@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, November 07, 2010 9:24 PM Subject: Re: [SOUTHERN-CHAT] Bubble wrap ? >I think theres an org. called We Cycle , or something like that I might > try...Good idea about meeting them somewhere else...However, someone got > robbed recently..thinking it was safe to meet them in a grocers parking > lot.
