Free Snow


Here is part of an ad that ran on Craigslist yesterday.
I was so glad I took a second to click on the free stuff tab.
Wish I'd thought of it first!


I have placed several feet of almost new snow at the end of my driveway
Never skied on never peed on
come and get it
first come first serve


Here is another good one. (Have I mentioned that I love Craigslist...thanks Teri)

To the gentleman who helped my Blue Pontiac out of the ditch today off of Albany Shaker today. You were so nice to pull my car out with your tow truck, even though I offered cash you refused and did for free. Thank You! This spirit is what the season is all about! I will pass it along...Merry Christmas to everyone! Bless all of you nice people!

OMG, that is just too funny - if he runs out, I know where there is more :)
I love the ad about the tow truck...the christmas spirit can still be found - thankfully.

Craigslist is great..we search it often and have picked up a few good deals.
Have a great weekend ~

I love CL for the funny ads. We have a huge Russian population here, and we almost wet our pants reading the ads, some are a little hard to figure out though!

Linda, you can have our snow, it is nice and wet and heavy and full of water.

It doesn't snow where I am, but some people in the next block went up to the mountains yesterday and brought back a pick up bed full of...yes, snow.

Ed said...

I always remember what my dad taught me about eating the yellow snow.... :-)
See ya at the Sunday Challenge and thanks for the meme challenge...Ed

Woooo hooo craigslist! I love that you shared those, I have a huge smile on my face! I'm still so busy with the baby (llama) that I'm way behind on craigslist. For awhile I had to check 2-3-4 times a day so I wouldn't miss anything. Soon, I will be back in gear! Thanks again for sharing those priceless bits.

OMgosh, that way too funny. I love Craigslist, but have never gone thru the "free stuff".... like duh... I don't know why either... LOL

Deb, there was just a bit more to it in fact, but this is a family blog, and although the rest was the funniest part, I hesitated to put it in. good thing I copied it because it didn't stay up very long. You have a great weekend too!

Anon, yeah, ours has been under the dog too so to speak lol

FC, I think it is on a come and get it basis...hope your dad is doing okay!

Matt, we are pretty much plowed out too, but the second assault is underway from the looks of the dogs when they go outside (still dark) and the plows they are a roaring...stay warm. Love you

NYV, great timing there. Hope you and yours are safe and warm today too. We are sure getting an early winter!

Linda, please, take all you want! Free shipping and handling and 20% off bulk orders!

Nita, we enjoy them immensely. Teri at Farm Life turned us on to them and we read them every day. We love to interpret the horse adds, such as "needs experienced rider" equals "insane boogerbat, will kill you if you let him"...and so on

Jan if they need a couple more loads I think I can help them....

Ed, we avoid that yellow stuff! I posted a link to mine in the comments..not sure if that is how you are working it this week.

Akagaga, thanks, he looked so cute out there in the snow. Not the greatest shot though as it was snowing real hard and I didn't want to get the camera wet.

Teri, can't thank you enough for pointing them out to us. Even when we don't find anything we can't live without they are hilarious.

Gail, they are so much fun. We got some real nice fish for the pond from an ad last summer.
Thanks for visiting and commenting!
