I am back. I LOVE LOVE LOVE freecycle. You don't buy anything - it is all free. Did you find a group in your area? I give away and receive so much with our group. Let me know if I can answer any questions.
Well, I think I got into a group in my area however, I cannot seem to find where anyone is advertising anything they want to get rid of...I still haven't figured out the ends and outs of the site...I think that's my problem anyway.
Yes, you will receive the messages at your yahoo address. You can reply back to them right from there or go to your group's home page. You can list items you are looking for as well. I am often amazed at the replies I get when I am in need of an item. I hope you find it to be helpful to you and your family.
