Freecycle

So I recently heard about this website called freecycle. There are various groups all over the world with one common goal...to keep objects out of landfills and to pass on items that are no longer of use to you but that someone else may need. Also everything on the site is given away for absolutely free. One can request an item IE I'm in need of a lawn mower......or one can post about an item they wish to pass on IE I have a bike to give away. I think it's a great concept and thus far have picked up a book and four tickets to a dinner and comedy night that someone was unable to attend. I shall enjoy that gift this weekend with some friends. Take a look at the site and find a group near you. Perhaps there are some unwanted items in your house that would be better suited for another person in need rather than the dump :)

This next bit I found rather interesting yet a little bit bizzare. I'm not sure if any of you caught the inmates in the Philippines doing their "Thriller" reinactment....ummmmm yeah!!! Check it out haha, it gets going about a minute into the video. I didn't realize they started having dance lessons in prison, I kind of dig it.



So a happy weekend to all!!! I'm sticking with my plan of enjoying the weather:

HIKING




BIKING

AND OF COURSE LOUNGING

That's a pretty cool concept. I would gladly give away my lawnmower so I wouldn't have to use it anymore. lol
Have a great weekend :)

That thriller video was cool. Reminds me of "13 going on 30". Yes I've seen it, yes I'm straight.

Thanks for the heads up on freecycle. I hate to throw things away others might be able to use.

That thriller video has one of my friends cracking up non-stop. If I ever get pinched in the Philippines, I'll make sure I have my dancing shoes.

That freecycle site sounds cool. I'll have to keep my eye on it. :)

I'd be all about lounging...if I could. And I'll have to check out that site.

The "girl" in the video - so disturbing.

Was that an ugly guy in a pink halter top playing the "girl" in that video? Odd...

Also, I love that you're hiking in a shirt that says "vodka" on it - those are two things that don't seem to go together too well ;)

Miss Ash said...

Michael, yes it is a rather entertaining albeit bizzare video.

Natalia, I'd like to lounge but it's Sunday and thus far have not had a chance boooo.

Rawbean, to each their own but I get what you're saying :)

SS, Ha!!! Yes it does say vodka on it, touche.

Yraucta, that's what long weekends are for :)

Most of the time when I exercise I wear a food or booze related T-shirt, I want everyone to know why I'm out there exercising.

I saw that Thriller video somewhere, and I think it just shows you how far they are behind popular music of today. I know I'm behind, but that is ridiculous. Ha. Enjoy the weekend.
