free white icicle Christmas lights

We have three strands of white icicle lights where one side of the string is not turning on. I think it is probably due to one light not being tight or working. I think if you took the time, you could make them work.

This has to be the same ad, right? There's can't be more than one person trying to give away a broken string of lights? You have to respect the temerity though... Just keep asking, someone will come and get it eventually!

Christmas icicle lights

There are 4 strings of white icicle lights where only one side of the string is on. i am sure there is that one bulb out that makes the rest of the string not work, but I don't want to try to fix it.

Ho-ho-ho! I've got some broken lights that probably just need a single bulb replaced, but I'd rather just post an ad on Craigslist and buy new lights instead. Welcome to Christmas in California, where the snow is all artificial and the cheer comes with a hefty price tag--except if you want some broken Christmas lights. Good will to each and every one!

Are you into cows? Or someone you know LOVES cows?

Growing up on a farm, I had a pet cow. So for a few years I collected cow stuff... Stuff animals, cow banks (piggybanks), nick nacks and some kitchen stuff. I would probley say maybe a box or two of stuff. They are in great shape and just need to be dusted and given love. It took me a long time to decide to get rid of them.. that will make my hubby happy. But they are only collecting dust and now I am collecting dolls.

Whoa, out of the frying pan and into the fire with this one. I would rather live in a house filled to the ceiling with cow chotchkies than to have to live out the rest of my days with a doll collector. Those things come alive at night you know.

Will Trade Dental Service for a hot tub/spa

I am looking for a hot tub that would seat 4+ people. If not new it must be as close to new as possible. you will take care of delivery also. Please send a picture. I offer high end dental services in all phases of dentistry, including implants, but except braces.

Not to start off by saying "Only in California..." but really, only in california would you see an ad like this. Hot tubs are everywhere here, from the most modest house to the most palatial, they may as well become currency. But even in their ubiquitousness, they never quite lose the creepy swinger vibe they picked up in the 70s and, as a result, I think the last person I would want working on my teeth would be the dude that would trade it for a hot tub.

Aquarium - not good for fish

There's actually a perfectly good reason why this aquarium isn't good for fish, but it's just such a patently absurd way of marketing it that I'm leaving it as-is.
