ok. so i heard some moms at playgroup talking about freecycle.org. this supposedly cool site to get free things you might need and keep it out of the landfills, one woman's junk is another's crown jewel. or something like that. so i signed up not knowing many details, like the OVERWHELMING AMOUNT of mail coming to my inbox. doubled actually b/c there is a post for the item labelled: OFFER and then there is the soon to be posted TAKEN email. you have choices, but if you do the digest form, and get it once a day, then what chance do you really have to get those mini-blinds or 3 lb bag of almonds? probably slim. so i was in day 2 of it, when i saw a most unexpected item posted. 1 of 8 items actually and the others seemed pretty benign but there was the 1 that caught my eye. prompting me to ask steveO on a nice warm sunny saturday - 2 weeks ago: "do you know what astroglide is?". his reponse: "i dunno, some sort of ab-workout?". so like any good investigative reporter, i google. but OH NO. astro glide is a personal sexual lubricant. oops, where was i during sex class? and this fine upstanding gal was doing her part to keep our landfills free and clear of a 2.5 ounce bottle of an UNUSED and SEALED container. um, hello. it was snatched from the list within 45 minutes. and yet even more remarkable, the fact that astroglide is offered on their website in FREE SAMPLES. so what service is she exactly offering? and while i am pontificating...does this mean that she is done with sex and no longer needs this product? did she find it in her Christmas stocking and decided regifting was just not an option but coming face-to-face with a stranger was more appealing than the trashbarrel? did she win it at sex toy party but forgot to tell everyone she was celibate? did the great god of lubricant now deem her ready to naturally produce her own glide?ok you get the point... remind me to unsubscribe? but with fodder like this - maybe i will wait. and let me know if you want to know the other 7 items to try to make sense of this. amazon sale price for 2.5 oz: $6.99, customer reviews: 21.
