Day 304 - Humidifier

Today I am offering a humidifier. We've not used it in a long time - and it now seems to release too much moisture. But, maybe someone can fix it???

Day 303 - OLD Laptop

Today I am offering an old laptop. It does not have a hard drive and probably does not even work. But, it could be used for parts or taken apart and put back together or made into something completely different.

Day 302 - Book - Organizations - Rational, Natural and Open Systems

Day 301 - Book - Leadership

Today I am offering a book - Leadership - Research Findings, Practice and Skills. This was back from my days in grad school. I loved my classes and readings, but really just never go back to them. So, they should be passed on to another............

Day 300 - Book - The Manager's Bookshelf

Today I am offering another book - let's clear out the guest room - the baby is almost here!!! It is another text book from grad school - the kind of reading you don't mind doing.

Day 299 - Book - Managerial Psychology

Today I am offering a text book Managerial Psychology - Managing Behavior in Organizations. I can't recall if this was my textbook or Dave's, but it is good stuff!!!

Sunday, October 25, 2009

Day 291 - Textbook - Statistics for Business & Economics - FLOP!

Apparently nobody else likes stats!! It is not just me. A big flop! We'll see if it is a hit at the womans jail! Surely they might be bored enough to read a stats book.

Day 294 - Hand Knit Pink Blankets - GONE!

Some little girl has 2 "new" blankies to play with! I sure hope she has fun!!

Day 295 - Book - Skipping Christmas - GONE!

Happy to report my no-brainer book has been taken!! And, she picked-up! Always a plus!!

Day 297 - 20 inch TV - FLOP!

Well, the TV was a flop - off to the cancer fed it goes. I am a little surprised... Oh well.

Day 298 - Norelco Razor - GONE!

So glad the razor has been spoken for! I just hope he picks-up!!

Saturday, October 24, 2009

Day 296 - Bag of cars - GONE!

Funny everyone wants a bag of cars I bought for 25 cents and nobody wants a TV or book. Whatever!! Maybe someone will respond today about the TV. Otherwise it goes to the cancer fed that is doing a pick-up here on Thursday! One way or another, it is gone!!

Friday, October 23, 2009

Day 297 - 20 inch TV

Today I am offering an old tv. This was the first big tv I bought - I thought 20 inches was big!! I've had it since college - which is a pretty long time!! The color is a bit off. We used some Amex points for a new flat screen TV - it is the only nice flat tv in the house!! I hope this old one goes!!

Day 298 - Norelco Razor

Today I am offering a men's Norelco Razor. It no longer holds a good charge - which is why we had to replace it. But, it works just fine. This might be a tough one to unload - but hopefully someone might have a use for it.

Thursday, October 22, 2009

Day 296 - Bag of cars

Today I am freecycling a bag of toy cars - maybe 20 or so. I am sure any kid (probably a boy) would love them!! My girls are not so lucky! We have enough toys - and I am feeling a little grinchy.

Wednesday, October 21, 2009

Day 295 - Book - Skipping Christmas

Today I am offering a John Grisham book - Skipping Christmas. Super easy read - not a work of art, but somewhat entertaining. I might be jumping the gun on Christmas - I hope it goes.

Day 294 - Hand Knit Pink Blankets

Today I am offering 2 bright pink blankets. I believe they were hand knit or maybe crocheted. They are both in good condition - I am sure a little girl would love to play with them! Problem is ... we already have way too many blankets in our house!!

Day 292 - Brother Astronomer - GONE!

Okay - the fact this book has been promised is a bit of a surprise - but I am glad it will go to someone who might actually read it!

Day 293 - Book - The Tipping Point - GONE!

Not surprised to report the book has been taken. I was surprised I only had 2 responses, but I think most of America has read the book. At least it is taken!

Tuesday, October 20, 2009

Day 293 - Book - The Tipping Point

Today I am offering the book The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell. Dave was the reader of this book - and I think just about everyone has read the book! He read all 3 of Gladwell's books - and this was his least favorite. And, yet somehow we have 2 copies in the house!! Dave is only willing to part with one - but is at least taking the other to work where it can collect dust on a shelf......

This will go!

Day 286 - Book - Now Discover Your Strengths - GONE!

This has been promised - but unfortunately not picked up yet! I have her another day and tomorrow will move on to the next taker! What a pain!!!

Thankfully, this book has been spoken for!! So glad it will live on - with a person starting their own business!

Day 292 - Brother Astronomer

Today I am offering a book neither of us have touhed - Brother Astronomer - Adventures of a Vatican Scientist. If you follow my blog, you know who gave it to us! I should say Dave. Nobody would ever give me a book like this. They just know I would never ever read it!!!

Sunday, October 18, 2009

Day 291 - Textbook - Statistics for Business & Economics

Today I am offering one of Dave's old textbooks - Stats for Business & Economics. Thankfully I never had to use this book - not my strong suit! I did take a stats class in college and worked my tail off - and my grade was still not impressive. But, I tried!! Maybe I should keep the book - I think not.

Day 290 - 10 Insider Secrests to Job Hunting

Today I am offering a book from Dave's collection - 10 Insider Secrests to Job Hunting. I think he used this when looking for a job a few years ago. We'll he is happy in his job, so I don't think we need it any longer. Again, I think this one will be a welcome addition to someones reading materials.

Friday, October 16, 2009

Day 289 - Book - Women For Hire

Today I am offering a nice softcover book - Women for Hire. I don't really know when or where I got this book - I have not been in the job market in a while! But, it is not super old - and is in good condition. I hope it helps someone find a precious job!!

Day 288 - DVD The Big Lebowski - GONE!

Thursday, October 15, 2009

Day 288 - DVD The Big Lebowski

Today I am offering a brand new DVD of The Big Lebowski. I've never seen this movie, but my husband likes it. He says we have another copy. Why on earth would we have 2 - especially since we never even watch movies at home? I think I should be freecycling both. But, that might get his goat - and we don't want that. Not tonight anyway...

That did not take long!! The tape is gone!!

Day 287 - Book - Business at the Speed of Thought

Today I am offering a hardcover book in excellent condition - Business at the Speed of Thought by Bill Gates. Not sure where we got this - probably though work or something. I never read it - maybe Dave did???

So where do you want to go tomorrow? That's the question Bill Gates tries to answer in Business @ the Speed of Thought. Gates offers a 12-step program for companies wanting to do business in the next millennium. The book's premise: Thanks to technology, the speed of business is accelerating at an ever-increasing rate, and to survive, it must develop an infrastructure--a "digital nervous system"--that allows for the unfettered movement of information inside a company. Gates writes that "The most meaningful way to differentiate your company from your competition ... is to do an outstanding job with information. How you gather, manage, and use information will determine whether you win or lose."

Day 286 - Book - Now Discover Your Strengths

Today I am offering a nice hardcover book - Now Discover Your Strengths by Marcus Buckingham. Read once or twice - plenty of life left in it!!

Effectively managing personnel--as well as one's own behavior--is an extraordinarily complex task that, not surprisingly, has been the subject of countless books touting what each claims is the true path to success. That said, Marcus Buckingham and Donald O. Clifton's Now, Discover Your Strengths does indeed propose a unique approach: focusing on enhancing people's strengths rather than eliminating their weaknesses. Following up on the coauthors' popular previous book, First, Break All the Rules, it fully describes 34 positive personality themes the two have formulated (such as Achiever, Developer, Learner, and Maximizer) and explains how to build a "strengths-based organization" by capitalizing on the fact that such traits are already present among those within it.

Day 284 - Bertucci's Gift Cert

Today I am offering a $15 gift certificate to Bertucci's. I've never been there - it looks nice. I got it in the mail - not sure why!!! But, we won't be heading out any time too soon and I don't want it to go to waste. Someone will enjoy it!

Saturday, October 10, 2009

Day 283 - Ceiling Fan - GONE!

So happy this fan can continue to circulate in someone elses home!!

Day 283 - Ceiling Fan

Today I am offering a nice ceiling fan. We are trying to make the nursery a little more baby friendly and switching out the fan was one step toward a more kid friendly nursery.

I think this will go - although people probably would have rather gotten it in warm weather.

I was in northern Wisconsin over the weekend - it was snowing! Yuck.

Day 280 - Glass Candle Hodler

Day 279 - Coyote Trivet

Today I am offering a cute coyote trivet - or it could be a coaster. A friend got it for me in New Mexico and although it is cute - it has been in a box for a long time! If it does not go maybe I'll get a little stand and put it on display? Maybe not???

I actually had many people want the boxes - that made me happy!! I'll take it!

Day 273 - Crib & Mattress - GONE!

This crib is gone! But, I am surprised how many questions people can have about free stuff and how they can turn their noses up to free things! If you want a certain style of crib - or a new crib - don't expect to get it on freecycle!

Well, there is my vent for the day. Let's hope it is my only one.

I've attached a photo of the crib - really just to show you Erin!
