I don't remember who it was, but a few months ago a member posted a thread about this website called Freecycle
Well this has to be one of the best websites I have ever found. Its an online localized listserv of people in your area who post things they no longer need or want and you can respond and take them. Its almost like a free online classfied service.
Well, I have been complaining to Brendan about how much I HATE our tiny full size bed from the stone age. Its small and VERY uncomfortable. Well yesterday a freecycle member sent and email out that they want to give away a year old Queen size pillow top mattress and boxspring!!! I jumped on responding and got it. They're even going to deliver it to my apartment!!! I am so excited I won't have to spend money on a new bed.
The only disclaimer was its coming from an apartment where the neighbors smoked. apparently the smoke smell came through the vents and so there is a smoke smell on the mattress. I am hoping a little febreeze will help this. If anyone has any other ideas on how to get the smoke smell out of this mattress please let me know.
I just want to thank that TCS member again (whoever you are) for directing me to Freecycle!!
