Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

I wanted to get rid of an old lawnmower that was technically operational, but literally held together with duct tape and baling wire. That's not an exaggeration, I had to use wire to keep the deck from falling off, and it still did if you hit a bump too hard.
Sat out every nice day for about a week and a half with a "FREE" sign next to it
The day I replaced the sign with "$20", I went to hammock in the park, and came back to a sign, no mower, and no money. Exactly as I wanted
That is an old joke, I heard it as an old fridge. It's true though.
Literally where I got the idea from. No idea where I heard the joke, I want to say my grandpa?
Regardless, if it works, it works.
We did it with a leather recliner on the curb, sign said free. On trash day we crossed out free and wrote "trash". After the garbage truck didn't take it we made a new sign for $5, gone overnight.
