Dell laptop (02150) I am looking for a dell laptop. My current laptop is an hp which has windows 11. I no longer feel comfortable using windows. Hp envy x360 is not compatible with linux os, and for a few people who have been able to converte to linux, it has been difficult. As a senior, I doubt I'm up to the task. Dell is compatible. If anyone has a dell and are upgrading, I would be very grateful if you would consider donating it to me. Thank you for yoour consideration!

Fan - 10 inch adjustable speeds (Brookline) Looking for an approximately 10 inch non-box fan with multiple speeds. I'm a disabled senior in need of a fan for my bedroom/livingroom. I have an air conditioner, that does me no good in the dry winter months. A sinus condition keeps me up at night. Most mornings I wake up with an acute sinus headache and spend an hour or more using hot compresses. I have a box fan on the floor, but my cat feels it's a toy, maybe a friend? He repeatedly rubs up against it knocking it over constantly. The only things he likes to play with are balls, watching cat tv and my box fan. If you have a standup or tabletop fan you do not want, I would very much appreciate taking it off your hands. Thank you, very much, for your consideration!

Microscope for coins and art (Boston) A few years after retina surgery, my lack of vision turned into blindness. In time, the strain on my good eye has left me with low vision. Sadly, my hobbies have gradually been providing less and less enjoyment with every changing season. If anyone is considering replacing or upgrading their microscope or high power glass magnifier, and are considering donation their older, but still usable device, please remember Thrashnothing. And, thank you in advance for your consideration!!

Windows.11 Book (Brookline) Expired I am in need of a windows 11 book. If you have one no longer in use, I would be very grateful if you donate it to me. I'm a disabled senior caregiver. I've currently signed up for an onl8ne continuing education course in history for college credits. I just started using Windows 11, which is not what I'm accustomed to and its causing a significant amount of frustration and wasted time. Though I am certain the problem is probably the HP I'm now using, along with this OS. I am use to an older Macbook. Trust when I say, I really would be so very grateful!!! Thank you for your consideration!

Popover Pan (Brookline) Expired Does anyone have a Popover Pan? Maybe you haven't used it in a long time or never us4ded, no longer cooking or cooking much less, or maybe you just don't like popover? My roommate has always wanted one. You have no idea the difference in attempting to make popover in muffin tins - suffice to say, not so good! For decades, we've been using muffin tins. For decades we've been baking mini popover. Very disappointing, to say the least. Still we continue to convince ourselves how great they always came out - Note! Very, very grateful if you happen to come across a popover Pan at the bottom of a kitchen cabinet and remember this post! Thank you for your consideration!!

Fan - 10 inch adjustable speeds (Brookline) Expired Looking for an approximately 10 inch non-box fan.. I'm a disabled senior in need of a fan for my bedroom/livingroom. I do not have an air conditioner in my bedroom. A sinus condition keeps me up at night. Most mornings I wake up with an acute sinus headache and spend an hour or more using hot compresses. I have a box fan on the floor, but my cat feels it's a toy, maybe a friend? He rubs up against it every time knocking it over. He gets lots of daily attention, and has assorted interactive toys. But the only things he likes are balls, pets and my box fan. If you have a standup or tabletop fan you do not want, I would very much appreciate taking it off your hands. Thank you, very much, for your consideration!

windows laptop (Boston) Received I am in serious need of a laptop. Maybe someone has one no longer being used? I take care of my partner and need it for healthcare and support group. Please let me know if you might have something functional that can be transfered to my name. I did get a dell latitude 11" 6130 about 12 years old, turned on good, good lcd, but I could not transfer my Dell info to it because the owner would not provide me the laptop password info so I barely used it. Also would not provide owners info and refused to contact dell. The wrist pad was sticky with something that could not be removed even with goo be gone. Must have been stolen or something like a hacker. It's under my couch. Truly, very grateful for your consideration!!
