Caring through Craigslist

If ever there was a compelling story about the plight of the average American these days this would be it. . . . Cici and Jared are renovating the first floor apartment, replacing kitchen cabinets, dishwasher, etc. We were motivated to start "pruning" our possessions, with our empty nest not so empty with various unwanted / unneeded items. Although Cici and I made a valiant effort to rid ourselves of "stuff" with a yard sale, it was only partially successful. So, I posted a bunch of items for free (cabinets, sink, dishwasher, radiator cover, queen bed frame) on Craigslist late Monday night.

By Tuesday morning, I had over 200 responses - and some of the emails were so sad. I was sorry not to have more to offer.
