3 .....That is the number of days our advertisement has been on Craigslist.
2548...that is the number of people who called and said "Hold it for us! We are loading up the trailer and will be RIGHT OUT!!
2....That is the number of people who called and said "Sorry, we are not coming after all. Don't wait up." Thank you kind and responsible people. Thank you.
4.... the number of Oregonians who called and didn't know where 
Mt. Hood is located. Turn around and open your eyes, people.
Mt. Hood is located. Turn around and open your eyes, people.FYI: Mt. Hood is the almost 12,000 foot tall, snow covered mountain sticking up directly to your East. Very picturesque and makes for a prominent landmark when looking for our house. (this geography lesson was offered free of charge)
2....the number of people who kinda scared me when they called.
1.... person who emailed me and said they couldn't afford to drive out here, but really wanted the free wood stove, so maybe we could "work something out." Ummmm, tempting. But no.
2...Strong guys who actually showed up and hauled that wood stove off my deck.
0....number of times we'll do this again.

well, did they all come out? Did you sell it? Were the others mad? Sheesh! leave the story hanging, why doncha! I DO like your music and the picture of Mt Hood.
Finally two guys in a van drove up and hauled the free wood stove away. They also took our older dishwasher which we were going to have to take to the dump. They are just taking them for scrap metal and I don't want to know anything else. :-)
(yes, a few other people did seem out out that someone else got the woodstove first. But no one was angry enough to hurt us. Yet.)
I too have the love/hate relationship with Craigslist. Shows you humanity at it's finest, don't you think?
Diane,
You have a great sense of humor! This was a great post!
Ha...Ha...
Funny.
Glad you got rid of the stove.
If you had not...maybe WE could have worked something out. LOL!
I've never used craigs list.
I have my name on two local yahoo freecycle lists, though I've only used it once.
Well, that's enough for a non-risk-taker like me. No Craigslist.
Little but Informative!
