First, I'd like to say, %*(# YOU Craigslist! Why don't you go @#$(* #$%)(*#$ )(#*$%)(*#$! Oh, and then step outside and play hide-and-go-F%*K-yourself!
Now, *straightens self and takes a deep breath*, I AM in better sorts than I was earlier. Craigslist will just have to miss out on my wrath because I don't have the resource to waste time picking shit there. I never knew that they too had a bunch of lifeless, insulting losers on their site who just sat, trolling around, waiting to jump (attack with insults and hostility) on innocent people (me) asking a question when something happens to them (an ad of mine got flagged/deleted).
Let's see, I got called crazy, told to go get a job, told I was a moron, told that I was hated, and a few other choice things. All because I asked if this one specific detail about my post was the problem, or if there was something else ... since Craigslist is so vast, they don't give you a reason, they just tell you your stuff was deleted. It's the first time it's ever happened, and I wanted it to be the last. Boy did I get an 'eye full'. So my great idea on posting there seeking items that we need for moving out is blown all to hell because if I put it up again, it's just going to get flagged down until eventually I'll be blocked from the site.
Back to the drawing board I suppose. I'll figure it out, I'll just be sneakier. I won't post an actual ad. I'll just have to spend a precious lot of time cruising the site for the specific items and hoping I can find a good deal. Besides all that, who are those bastards to presume I don't have a job (besides that, have they noticed the whole RECESSION thing going on, there are a LOT of people in need)? They even whined because it's supposedly an atrocity to have been married 3 years and not have enough money to afford new furniture. Sorry, aren't most new couples sort of broke at first, or are we special? Because if that's the case, I want to know who's ripping me off and why ... and then I'm gonna go after their ass.
ANYWAYS though, I AM in a better mood, contrary to what you might believe. I chose to take the higher road. I was angry at the end of that last post, but you know, screw it. He's not allowed to ruin my night or make me feel like shit. My own body is making me feel like shit anyway (no more pork please ... ugh ... and he's making ham and black eyed peas ... yeah, don't think I'll be eating any), so that slot is taken. I also informed him that tomorrow we WOULD be rearringing the dishes, that I'd do most of the work if he just wanted to point and direct, and we'd have done with it.
Of course he started back peddling and saying that they could stay. That wasn't without throwing in that it was so nice that I had made it all so much more convenient ... for me and my husband. So I threw back, well I'm graciously offering to change it back so it's convenient for YOU, how could you resist? He didn't know what to say. What I was THINKING was: Friggin' bastard, how about I pile the dishes on your bed and I'll cram your ass in the cabinets. THAT would be REALLY convenient.
Well anyway, then I ate dinner (sort of, my stomach was a little resistant to the idea so I threw in the towel early), and went and had a nice hot bath. Things are all calm, I'm calm, and I'm not holding resentment. I'm just back to the drawing board in many ways. I'll be damned if I let him be any excuse to be negative, and I'll be damned if those bastards at Craigslist are going to stop me from finding possibly FREE items that we'll need to move out with.
Try to stop me will you? Ha, you have another thing coming ... I'm a force to be reckoned with and you'll soon learn that. If you don't ... you're just fricken' stupid.

I myself stay away from those sites. I find them interesting but I would never advertise or seek an item using that available method, it's just to risky and I don't need the stress. I guess it may be convenient to some but not to me. There are just to many hands to be padded along the way. A local newspaper can be a lot of help. I figure if I can't locate or offer for sale an item within a ten mile radius of my house by simply viewing or posting an item on a public bulletin board in a local grocery store or general gathering place in my area (library ?) then so be it, I'll do without achieving my goal. Some would claim to live in a very rustic area and say they have no other choice and I would understand that to a point considering what was involved. I like "freebies" too, but I'm not going to indulge myself to be added to some list for advertisement schemes be it by phone or e-mail. Besides. by the time you consider everything involved (shipping and handling, theft, rip-offs, cheats, schemes etc.) it's just not worth it to me. I'm not trying to be the bearer of negativity and I do wish you luck in you're endeavors. -

"FARK" Craigslist! -

Fuck 'em Hege. Everytime someone goes on there, someone makes money and they do another little jig to the bank. Definitely try CW's link and your local papers. If the nutters that said that stuff to you are anything to go by who is on that site, I wouldn't piss on it if it were on fire (as my old dad used to say lol!) Small minded twats without a dick between em ha ha! -

hope you feel better now... anyway sorry if i haven't been reading you lately... what are you doing in craiglist? -
JusticeForAll said on Oct 22, 2009....
I've had that happen also. It really sucks. I got to this site now called www.freecycle.org you can put in your city and they have a huge swap that people do to try and prevent things from going to the landfill. No money involved. You can ask for items, people post things they don't want and it's all done safely. I've gained and given many items through this site, and I trust it whole-heartedly. Good luck, and I'm so sorry you had to go through all that crap. -

husbandhater said on Oct 22, 2009....
Yeah Hege Craig's list is not only a risky site but pure all out sleazy. How does anysite allow prostitues to advertise for Johns? SLEAZY! Scuzzy! And what about the killer. What is it that you are looking for maybe I could tell you where to buy it and for cheap. I am the queen of sale. Better luck honey. ((((((((((((Hege))))))))))))))))) Hugs for Hege. -

CW - Thank you!
CM - That was just the crappy part, we've had some very good experiences with the site in the past. No rip offs, face to face meetings, and very pleasant attitudes. It was more the shock that these other trolls are there, which I suppose shame on me for not figuring they would be since there's always two sides to everything. From now on though, I am going to stick to closer opportunities.
Mixed -Darn right!
PC - Yup, that's the way I feel, I'm just going to use other resources and let those dogs lie. They can chew their own tails off without my help, that's for sure.
Queenie - Hi there, yup, feeling much better now. No prob that you haven't been around, totally understandable. I was posting a 'want' ad for certain items we'd need for moving out, like furniture and other random things I was looking for. All for the cause of getting outta this place.
Justice - Thank you for that link! Yes, it was a shock to have it happen purely because of the good experiences we had had, but I'm past it and so thankful for the resources that are being made available to me. Thank you again.
Writer - Thank you, good song.
Simply - Yup, totally agree with you there.
HH - Yeah, I've learned my lesson with that site. I suppose I should be thankful for the few good experiences I did have while using the site. I was mostly looking for things like furniture (living room), and a lot of kitchen ware. It's nothing I can't go out and buy (well, the furniture will be hard), but I was hoping to maybe get lucky and find someone wanting to be rid of spares or something along those lines. I did get lucky and got a brand new dinner set from one very nice couple ... and then all downhill from there. Ah well, there are other ways. Thank you. :-)

Hegemone said on Oct 23, 2009....
UF - Yeah, pork can be dangerous stuff in large quantities, but when it's between that and not eating ... ugh, yeah, ya have to put up with it. As far as the furniture, I'm sure I'll find some too, just have to go via a different method is all. -
UnicornForm said on Oct 23, 2009....
Really lare quantities? all we eat roun here is pork it seems like.. -
Hegemone said on Oct 23, 2009....
UF - Well since beef is becoming so much more expensive, it seems like we're either having pork or chicken, and more often than not it's pork. -

I second JusticeForAll's suggestion.
Freecycle.org has been a very positive experience.
Just be ready to give stuff too, freecyclers can spot a mooch.
It's not cool.
