Posted by Chrystina Tovani on October 19, 2008
Freecycle groups match people who have things they need to get rid of with people who can use them. Whether it’s a chair, a fax machine, piano, old door, clothing, dishes, toys or anything useful feel free to post it. Or maybe you’re looking to acquire something yourself! Nonprofit groups are also welcome to participate! The goal of Freecycle.org is to keep usable items out of the landfill. By using what we already have on this earth, we reduce consumerism, manufacture fewer goods, and lessen the impact on the earth. Another benefit of using Freecycle is that it encourages us to get rid of junk that we no longer need and promote community involvement in the process. Free your inner pack rat!

Below are the groups in the Sacramento Region:

Posted by Chrystina Tovani on October 8, 2008
This is the unit I deployed with to Saudi Arabia. I’m 3rd from the left of the flag in desert camo.
Contrary to what I thought, Saudi Arabia gets pretty cold in the wintertime. No snow, but the temps hovered around 30-40 degrees. I managed to get some long johns shipped to me about 2 weeks after the weather got warmer.
One of my duties was as a M240B gunner. Never found anything worth shooting at.
Here I am at the south gate with one of the third country nationals. He was happy to be there.
I decided to try to immerse myself in the culture while there. The gentleman standing next to me held a question and answer period for us about Muslim culture. Afterwards we got a chance to try on this “man-dress”, which was actually quite comfortable. Afterwards we ate some of the local cuisine which was also quite delicious.
And here I am at the main gate in the vehicle search area. the infantry sign behind me was for the old Army unit that was there prior to us taking over.
