jellymonty @jellymonty (2352) 20 Apr 09

I was walking by the park the other day and I came across a $100 note. Now from where I come from it is a bad omen to pick up money that in a public place. I stared at that note for about five minutes wondering whether it would do...

valentinesdiner @valentinesdiner (1214) • United States 19 Apr 09

busyB4 I like freecycle . So far here it has been good, but the moderator is very strict and if someone is warned and breaks the rules , they are basically expelled form the group. To me that would be the best way to keep it a good thing instead of becoming a bad...
