Freecycling - a look inside

Ok, I have been freecycling for over a month now. How does it feel? Great! What do I like best about it?
1- Meeting like-minded people
I love dealing with people I would never have met if we did not share this passion about recycling. They are from all ages and all walks of life. In common, they have a smile that comes from sharing what they have or getting my stuff for free. You can't go wrong.
2- Helping others. I love when people post a "Wanted" ad. I scrounge around the house to see if I don't own something useful that I no longer need. It helps me, it helps them; everybody wins.
3- Discovering the area (picking up or dropping off items here and there). I suddenly have a reason for exploring the communities around my own. I just have a better feel for my surroundings. Now if I can just figure out how to update my profile (it doesn't stick when I do it) to reflect those newly-acquired skills...
