Freecycle, your're the best!

We have managed to give away extra venetian blind hardware, waterbed rails, and hundreds of blank cd cases to people that actually need/want them. More importantly, they didn't end up at the dump. I was already feeling groovy, and then I got this response to a posting about our very dusty audio cassette collection:

Oh Franny, we would be so happy to get these tapes, my daughter has Down Syndrome and she has tiny little hands that can not span a CD disk to put it in a disk player properly..LOL we tried, and she scratched upseveral before we gave up and now just dub to tape, but she loves the inserts and feel cheated when I dub to blank tapes...she is quite the music freak.. we buy her second hand music tapes alot, as that is easy for her to use.. with the tapes not being made anymore we are always on the look out to find tapes for her.. We would be gratefull for your consideration.

In less than 4 hours freecycle had connected us to these apparently really nice people who lived maybe 5 minutes away. And our music will get some more good use.
