My name is Jenn, and I'm a 27 year old married and babied chick. In addition to a husband, a seven year old daughter, and a five year old autistic son, I also have four cats, three hermit crabs, two frogs, a few fish, and one snorty little Pug. I work from home doing a variety of writing and even some web design. I love blogging, digital photography and web design.
A few freecycle rants…
1. I am not Dominos. Therefore, I do not deliver. Please stop emailing me and asking me if I can bring the stuff to here, there, everywhere. If you want it that badly, come and get it. Otherwise, do not waste my time.
2. Expanding the above: stop starting out your emails me, “Hi, I’m a 17 year old mommy of two…” and then proceed to ask me to deliver things to you. I don’t care that you got knocked up twice before you could even legally smoke a cigarette. That’s your problem, not mine. I have pity for your children, and a bit of pity for you, but that is not going to make me change my mind about delivery. …Unless, of course, what I’m offering is birth control. In that case, I would not only deliver it but administer it myself.
3. Please don’t email me and tell me to email you first with everything I have to offer. Greed is a major turn off. No, I am not going to give you the sofa and the chair and the car seat and the clothes and then another couple dozen items of clothing. You may have the furniture and the car seat, since that is what you originally asked for. Share, dammit.
4. Don’t email me to whine that I didn’t contact you prior to publicly listing items.
That is all.
