Snow suits (Fredericksburg)
I really would appreciate if I could borrow someone’s snow suits for my daughter (6T) and for my son (4T) for this snowy weekend. We are a military family and dealing with moving soon to another state and I unfortunately donated their old snow suits without checking the weather.

Cuisinart Handy Prep food processor (Charlottesville near chs)
As shown in pictures. Compact food processor works fine. The only thing missing is the plunger/feed doodad... (It might still turn up, but no guarantees). ****************************NOTE: Please don't be offended, but I ignore replies that look like they were generated by automatic internet robots ("bots"). I've been getting lots of those lately. I have no idea if all those robot-like replies are from bots. Maybe they are just from real people who are too tired to type more than four words? What does an automated robot reply look like to me? They don't mention any interest in, or name the actual item. They don't mention any other concern related to the actual item. They don't mention what your location is, or when you might pick up. They don’t mention the current weather, or what might be your favorite book. Bots reply like this: "do you still have" (Incomplete sentence! No punctuation! Jeez...) Real people reply like this: "Hi my name is Marty. I have an interest in knitting, so I could really use the extra yarn you're giving away. I live quite close to you north of Charlottesville, and I could pick up any weekday evening. My favorite book is His Master’s Voice, by Stanislaw Lem. Many thanks for considering my inquiry." Think: I'm making the effort to post (with pictures!) on this free-cycle bulleting board. Then I make the effort to correspond with the recipient and make arrangements for pickup. I do all this, though by far the easiest thing is to just throw the thing out. If you like the idea of me not throwing it out, instead giving it to you, then honor my effort by replying with several complete sentences describing your situation and interest. Additionally, a reply like that suggests to me that you might be reliable enough to actually pull through with a pickup, so these are the types of replies that I'm going to pay attention to. (And if you are new to the English language, and you're not very good at it, that’s okay; you can still write something that isn’t going to look like it was generated by a robot). Thank you, and looking forward to your creative human-like writing!!

TWO 205/40 ZR17 M+S UHP tires good (Charlottesville near chs)
Two tires, still good. They are high performance, low profile tires. One has about 5.5mm (7/32") tread left, never had a flat or been damaged. The other is a bit more worn, but still useable or could make a good spare. These were mounted on 7.5 inch wide rims on a car I bought used, and I decided the tires were too narrow for the rims on the car. These tires will fit rims as narrow as 5.5 inches (see more details below). So, when two of the tires wore out, I upgraded all the tires on my car to a different size, so these two remaining tires will no longer serve as e.g. spares for me. But maybe they will be helpful to you! It would be a shame to throw them out. (caliper gauge not included) (Note below about sizing, per internet AI search for a 205/xx width tire) --- The ideal rim width for a 205mm wide tire (such as 205/55R16) is 6.5 to 7.0 inches. While 6.5 inches is typically considered the optimal, direct fit for performance and comfort, a range of 5.5 to 7.5 inches is generally acceptable, with 7.5 inches providing a slight "stretch" fit. Key Considerations for 205/xxRxx Tires: Optimal Width: 6.5" to 7.0" Acceptable Range: 5.5" to 7.5" Performance: A 7.0" or 7.5" rim offers better handling, while a 5.5" or 6.0" rim provides a more comfortable, cushioned ride with more sidewall protection. --- ******************************NOTE: Please don't be offended, but I ignore replies that look like they were generated by automatic internet robots ("bots"). What does an automated robot reply look like to me? Bots reply like this: "do you still have" (Incomplete sentence! No punctuation! No reference to the item offered!)

I live quite close to you north of Charlottesville, and I could pick up any weekday evening. My favorite book is His Master’s Voice, by Stanislaw Lem. Many thanks for considering my inquiry!" Thank you, and looking forward to your uniquely human message!!

Request:
tiny piece of window tinting (Charlottesville near chs)
This is a long shot, but here goes... I'm looking to tint a rearview mirror in my old Volvo. This mirror is "auto-dimming" by way of some fancy-fangled LCD electronic technology. But wouldn't you know it... after 25 years it's not working so great anymore! That's what is known as over-engineering something to the point of failure. But I digress... My idea is to put window tinting film on the mirror, so that it will be "dimmed" all the time, and I'm not blinded by motorists driving behind me at night. This is the kind of film you would have bought in rather large pieces, then cut down to fit on your car's windows. There's no way for me to buy a small amount, and I would rather not have to pay for a large amount that I don't need. My rearview mirror is about 11 inches wide by 2.5 inches tall. I need a single piece of tinting that size, or a couple of smaller pieces to cover that area. Can you help me out?

Adult acoustic guitar (Northeast Stafford)
I have longed to grow in my passion and love for listening and playing music. Last year I was hoping to begin my journey as a way to find solitude and some peace by learning to play the acoustic guitar and possibly grow with others as they learn. Not seeking anything fancy or a kids instrument, but an adult instrument possibly even if it has a story that someone may want to pass on! Hopefully I will be able to do same. Also if you all know any reputable sources for down to earth lessons I am game! I play by ear ( with a lot of mistakes) and am learning sheet music! Thanks all and a continued Happy New Year 🎆 peace and blessings Monty B P.S. I’m right handed
