Or you could buy yourself a fast food franchise in Greeley close to the University of Northern Colorado campus for $250,000.

Estes Park you will find a Monarch wood cook stove for $500. A wood stove for camping for $30 in Fort Collins and an antique Porcelain Wood Cook Stove Set in Loveland for $50.

You can obtain a cereal dispenser in Greeley to assist your storage of up to 35 ounces, 17.5 ounces in each of two side-by-side dispensers, for only $30.

Similarly, a dual-beverage dispensing machine saves your counter space as it “dispenses 2 flavors in less than one square foot.” It has a cooling feature, is made of stainless steel, and the poster claims to have never used it before. $600.

Buy a grill for your pleasure or for your gift giving pleasure for $75. Grill is brand new, still in the box.

Or Melissa can cook if you don’t have time to. She advertises her services for parties, receptions, or family get-togethers, and can also make a week’s worth of food for your use.

For eleven bucks, September 18th through October 2nd, you can play bingo and eat dinner with “the Knights of Columbus.” $1500 will be given away each night. Doors open at 5 p.m. and games are on Thursdays at 7 p.m. and Sundays at 6:30 p.m. Proceeds benefit the Food Bank of Larimer County, the MS Society, and the Social Justice Committee.

If you like to launder and clean, consider a live-in housekeeper job for a busy couple with a teenager. Room and board is covered and up to $300 food per month. Cooking duties are shared and negotiable. Board consists of two rooms, one smaller to suit a child and the other with showering, and a living room. This contract position is based from Greeley.

Also, the Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund is looking for part-time canvassers. The pay is $12 per hour, plus a gas stipend, and hours are 2 to 8 p.m. Food is provided at the end of each shift. Canvassers must dislike Bob Schaffer.

Finally, for your scaly pets: A departed lizard leaves behind two large feeder mice for your use, and an over-exerted pet owner looks to rid himself of a Dumbo rat, preferably as a pet but for the larger varieties, it may be dinner.


Free Broken TV

September 21, 2008

One poster, is giving away a 27″ Sony Trinitron television, free.

The ad details the product, “Won’t turn on. May need power supply?”

This struck a chord with a rants-and-raves poster who said, “HA HA HA ….you think.”

Another rants-and-raves reader thought to correct the misguided giggler saying, “A TV has a ‘power supply’ inside it that takes the house current and changes it to a level the TV uses.”

The first poster clarified “I was just simply saying that it was funny the way it was wrote.”
