Instead of having a stoop sale as planned, I’ve been putting everything I was going to sell outside under a huge sign which reads “FREE! Please take what you want, but don’t make a mess…”
Also, since the apartment and cats are taken care of for the next year and I don’t need to rid myself of the fifteen years worth of accumulated crap and when I took a good, hard look at what I was going to sell, I figured, why put myself through the hassle of signing the neighborhood, posting on Facebook & Craig’s List and forcing my friends to shlep out at the ass-crack of dawn to help just to make a few bucks
Someone rang my bell after the second round of junk went out and offered me money for something but I refused to take it.
“The sign say ‘FREE.’” I pointed out, “take whatever you want!”
I bet you are feeling like a huge weight is being lifted off your shoulders! It’s “FREE-ING”, isn’t it?
@ Suzie – It really is. I was talking to one of my neighbors – who ended up taking my desk – and it took more that a bit of convincing that I wasn’t some nut-job.
It was very FREE-ing!
Nice!
