As our troubled economy tightens it's belt I was wondering if we will get back to the way things were done in the "old" days.... trading things sometimes instead of paying for services.

God has given each one of us talents

Because we here at 3FC are very progressive and way ahead of all the other sites I thought it would be cool to get a jump on what we all can do for each other when we have no more $$$$

Keeping in mind we will all need necessities and entertainment in the tough times ahead!

I can do drywall finishing for you

What can you do for me?

Just don't need any dry wall finishing right now, but I do need some furniture rearranged.
I live in Santa Clara County , I have a car, do you need a ride to Kaiser? I go there often and could give you a ride. Or I could give you a ride to the grocery store. Raise your hand if any you need transportation. Santa Clara County only, please.

WOW! BARGOO you are really into this....

that does not surprise me from such a wonderful gal as you are..

but for purposes of privacy...

I intended this to be for fun...a "made up world" if you will...

so going with that...

If you can give me a ride...I can mow your grass

I need laser treatments and can offer house cleaning, babysitting, errand running and the like. I am also an AWESOME event planner, decorator and writer. My professional background is in Education. I am well qualified to offer my services as a consultant or tutor. I am in the Dallas area. I am ALL about barter!

Humm...maybe this can be a fun thread and a useful thread!

Well, Gary, we got the dry walling done. Pity, you missed the rare opportunity for beef. We had prime rib. That's probably the last beef I'll have for the rest of the year.

I can give you a place in the mountains where nobody will find you, yet you will be within 10 minutes of a neat little general store. Unfortunately, there is no water on the property, so no fishing.

I'll come help with the furniture and then you can drive us to lunch!

I can give your kids music lessons and sharpen your hockey skates.

i can give you a tour of vermont hahaha

I'm a good organizer and a great baker. I'm also available for housecleaning & laundry.

That's what I was looking for!

My son needs some additional music lessons from Junebug. In exchange, I can do computer repair (hardware or software) or networking. On the domestic side, I can do housecleaning, cooking or ironing.

My brother in law owes me a favor...he can give someone bowling lessons...he has had over 25 300 games!

I can organize, clean, write your letters, reports, papers, officework- heck, I can do your taxes, budget your life, teach you french or italian, or help your kids with their homework.

Now, who will rub my feet? Clean out my hamster cage?

2 things I am NOT!

Need your skates sharpened?
