I can't believe what people are asking for and what excuses are being used.One post from a few days ago went like this:
"Wanted:Treadmill.
While giving birth to my daughter in September doctors have diagnosed me with a heart condition.I want to make my heart stronger and therefore I need a treadmill.I can't afford a sitter and can't go for walks with my daughter in this weather."
If I may mention that it is in the 70's for the past two weeks and even getting warmer over the next two weeks?So in my eyes you are looking for pitty to get something for free.Sorry!
Then,yesterday there was another of those stupid posts (this is the original post with typos and all left in place)!
"WANTED: VCR, and/ OR nicotine replacement therapies.
K, lol, so here is the low-down, over Christmas two things happened,
kids VCR broke, and couldn't afford to get other(we don't have
cable), so they would love even the oldest functioning VCR.
I made my daughter a promise, that I would quit smoking, and I am
trying, but my supply of nicotine replacements is dwindling quickly,
don't have cash for them, even if I had cash, would use it for their
VCR, lol, ty in advance......oh, p.s, been smoking 14 yrs, cold
turkey is SO not an option w three small kids,lol, sanity is needed."
Don't negotiate with terrorists in the first place and secondly:why the hell would you expect someone else to pay for you addiction?
Why making a promiss you can't keep and then ask others to pay for it?
Kids don't need a VCR to survive and FYI:Walmart has them for under 30 bucks.
If you don't have cable....so what?There is enough on the locals the kids can watch!
Granted,quitting cold turkey is hard but it does work.Patches just keep providing you with MORE nicotine,so you might as well keep on smoking,which is cheaper!DUUUH!
I have three little kids,too,Wellbutrin works great and is a hell lotta cheaper then patches and cigarrets all together!
I don't know why people think this would work.It seems some try to get the total free life out of it.
I decided to continue membership just to have a good laugh and blog material!
Here is a good one I read today. Seems alot of people thinks its a joke.
>If anyone has any small children they no longer want
or know of anyone who has more than they can handle,
I'd love to have them. I'd prefer to have an infant,
if possible, but I would gladly to take older
children, assuming they are still tender and have some
meat on them.
If anyone has any extra children they'd like to give
up, I'll be happy to pick them up. Just leave them
under the carport or by the curb and tell me when and
where.
And to return the favor, if I get a child, I'll gladly
offer my four dogs. After all, they are just
property, and I wouldn't want to see them end up in a
landfill. Besides, I hear they make good stew.
Thanks!

I can't even believe that they let this through!LOL
In Gwinnett they let nothing through,that is of course,unless there is a sob story to it..
