Wanted: Not too large TV
Needs to be dvd capable, and reasonably lite-weight, and needs a headphone jack, as I'm in a group situation and must respect the quiet time of others.
I am just moving into a new situation in the Land of Oz and was forced to abandon some of my belongings as I was a hate crime victim who was forced to flee my last place and had to leave some of my stuff behind.  Thanks for anything you can offer!

Wanted:TV, prefer flat panel
Need one that I can carry myself and slide into the back seat or trunk of my Toyota I have no one to help me in that I've been through a horrendous move, and have used up all my shlepping points with my friends!  Please email your contact info.  Needs headphone jack, please!

12/1/2009
Wanted: TV-Flat-Panel, if possible
Lost mine in a housing disaster and unfortunately can't afford to replace it :-(  If you have a spare set not in use that has DVD and headphone inputs (as not to
disturb my housemates during their quiet time), I would really be grateful.   If it's one of those very lite-weight flat screen panels that would be super, as I may not have help transporting it.  Thanks in Advance for your generosity! Please leave contact information in your response!  Thanks

12/03/2009
Wanted: TV-Flat-Panel, if possible
Lost mine in a housing disaster, details of which i can provide if need be, if you have one you are able to part with.  Does need to have headphone input as I must respect the need for my housemates' quiet time, when needed.  Thanks

12/05/2009
Wanted: TV-Flat-Panel, if possible
Lost mine in a housing disaster, no need to get into personal details here, but will explain to you individually, if need be, should you have something to offer.

12/06/2009
Wanted:Vitamix Machine or similar
Lost mine in a housing disaster, the details of which I'll spare anyone unless you have something to offer and specifically care to know.  I will put it to good use. I'm diabetic and must be nutrition conscious, and that Vitamix really gives me options!  Please include telephone number in your contact information, as I am able to check my VM more than my email.  Thanks!

12/12/2009

Wanted: Queen size bedding
sheets, pillow cases and blanket / comforter,if you can.  Thanks, & please respond with details and contact information.

12/13/2009
Wanted:TV, medium size
maybe you have one laying around due to upgrade that you can spare?  Lost mine in a disastrous relocation move.  I use the set in part for my work.  I have moved into a shared housing situation and my TV room is confined to my already crowded bedroom, so flat panel set would be ideal.  A set that has a large footprint  or takes more than one person to move won't do it here.  If it's a conventional set I can't consider too much larger than a 20"
If it's flat panel, 26"-32"  Thanks!  btw, please include contact ph # in your response.

Wanted: TV -for my room
I've just moved into a house where the only place I can have a TV is in my average-sized bedroom.  I need either a 20-22" conventional CRT TV ,  or a flat panel around 26"-32"  Footprint can't be too large as there just isn't the space.  I also need this Tv for my work.  Please send contact ph #  Thanks  Would prefer that it has a headphone jack in consideration of my housemates.  Please respond with ph # and details.  Thanks!

You guys are always so eloquent so I will leave the commenting to you all :)

New Post as of today--also with a new name--this time proclaiming himself as a professor.

wanted: TV with not a huge footprint
It's for a average sized bedroom that is already pretty crowded. So I'm looking for a 20 or 21 inch if it's a CRT (conventional tube set) or 24-32 inch if it's a flat panel. In either case flat SCREEN would be the greatest. Please respond with any info you can give me, size, model #, or whatever so that i may research and see whether it suits my needs before I bug you about it. Please respond with ph contact #. Thanks!

Wanted: Electric guitar and amp or drum set for a 11-13 yr old

My sons been asking me for a guitar or drums for so long.

Then you've had a while to save up for it haven't you?


( And a Bowflex Home Gym in a pear tree )

This one got me, I was all about helping them, until I started reading more:

Hi, i know im not the only family struggling through this time of year, but im
at a loss as to what to do. I just had a son who is now 11 days old. I also have
a daughter who is 3. My family is struggling to make ends meet as my husband is
the only one working at this time. My son isnt old enough to know the
difference, but my daughter is at the age where shes right into all the
holidays. At this point in time, i have one present to go under the tree for her
for x-mas. Its breaking my heart that i cant afford anything for her. She isnt a
picky kid, and deserves a good x-mas, which unfortuanately i am unable to give
her at this time. I want to set her room up with a tv, vcr, and tv stand. I have
bought the dvd player which is the only present she has. If anyone can help out
at all it would be great. I want to make her feel like a big girl as shes having
a hard time adjusting to the new baby...and i feel like shes sad all the time
even though i try to show her just as much attention. She is also into books
that make sounds, kids movies/dvds, baby dolls, dress up clothes etc. Please
help me make my daughters x-mas a good one. Thanks in advance and GOD BLESS!!

I'm sorry... your 3 year old needs a tv & vcr in her room to get over the fact that she's not your only kid anymore? And apparently a DVD player, too, since that is what you bought her. There are way better ways to help a child adjust to a new sibling that don't include sending her to her room with a movie.

And, not for nothing, the cost of that DVD player could buy a couple of toys or books. Even the cheapest player is like $20-30.

WANTED - to replace my lost Palm Z22

Hi everyone. I have donated several times on here; now it's my turn to ask for something.

My Palm, which I rely on *constantly* went missing two days ago and I can't function without it. It was a Z22, so I'd love to get the same model, but if you have a working Palm of pretty much any sort I would be very, very grateful. I'm hoping that someone out there has recently upgraded to some fancier version and might be able to help me out. Many thanks in advance! And happy holidays to everyone.

P.S. I will be happy to pick up the Palm pretty much anywhere in the GTA as long as I can get there by TTC

Really? You can't function without it? I didn't know they operated as pace makers these days. Also donating =/= anyone owes you jack shit. You don't jump up the prime item receiving ladder because you've dumped a couple of items.


taken: knitting machine

please consider this gone. I have 20 requests to choose from I wish I had more! I feel guilty saying no! I guess I need to read the book, When I say no, I feel guilty! I've never read it and often looked at it and wondered about it and always assumed I didn't have that issue! Another issue!
Have a great freecycling day all!

Holy shit a knitting machine! Wasn't there a discussion about these a few posts ago? Anyway, my issue is with the ...uh...whatever that rambly thing about no and guild and a book...or what? What? I...ok


WANTED: DIGITAL CAMERA

I am looking for someone who is generous enough and has upgraded thier digital camera that could part with their old one to me. I am travelling outside of the province for Christmas to see family and would like to take pictures of my family. I am willing to travel anywhere that the TTC allows.

Repeat after me: Disposable. Cameras.

Wanted: Lego, microscope , welder, dresser

Hi all,

Family is trying to make this a recycling Christmas and we're looking for:

Lego suitable for an 11 year old boy (things like the lego Halo characters and building sets)

Microscope (not toy microscope)

Dresser suitable for 19 year old young man

Welder

...Yheah no. Just...no.

wanted: crib bedding/mobile
I'm looking for crib bedding for a little girl. The color themes
pink/brown/green. Mobile a battery operated not the wind up....preferrably
elephants, no other animals......and with the crib bedding also looking for the
mattress cover in case diapers leak or what not. If you have anything like this
stuff....I'd really appreciate it. Thank you so much and I hope you all have a
happy holiday!

Once again, everyone repeat after me... Freecycle /= a gift registry!

wanted: artificial tree
my son has severe allergies at 8 mos old and we were told we cannot have a real
tree. If you have 1 I can pick up before the weekend. Thursday morning or
friday. thank you so much!

Honestly, if her son has SEVERE allergies, she might want to be careful of artificial trees as well.. those things get covered in dust while stored for the winter, and chances are that he's allergic to dust as well.

Wanted- Outdoor items for inside, Hunting , fishing etc..
Looking for taxidermied animals. Fishing, Hunting signs and related items.
Thanks a bunch and Happy Holidays
