Hey frugral users, want to swap anything for free... the E-Bay style?

The site is loaded with a lot of things to swap for. You'll save a lot
of money. You can actually attach your Ebay ID to your profile so
members
can view your Ebay stuff as well - pretty handy tool.

No, he swings both ways - he's bipolar.

The work thing may depend on the clique issues. Some people may
fear that brown-bagging lunch will result in being looked down on
as an impoverished loser. So they may buy lunch (like at one of
those convenience stores restaurants in some office high-rises.

If the majority of the people in the office bring a sandwich and
fruit from home, then it can send the signal that it is cool,
socially.

Fed Up With Paying a Monthly Fee For A Handful of Channels That Don't
Satisfy Your Needs?

Most people pay $19 to $90 a month for a very limited number of TV
channels. If you fall into this category and want out, you can get
solution at the link below....

There are newsreaders, such as Gravity, which allow filtering on
message body content.

So you can set a filter on, for example, "Slow-Boy Rod wrote:" to
dump the replies to him.

Also, some trolls like to crosspost to many unrelated groups.
Including groups that are frequent targets of this behaviour.
The replies often include the crossposting.

So you might take the extra technical effort to use NewsProxy
(nFilter) to set more refined rules.

Check 'em out. They are free:
