And can you possibly help move 'ferniture?'
What becomes of the brokenhearted...toasters ... This oven in Grafton has plenty of good toasts left in him. In honor of Earth Day, this family really dreads tossing this perfectly healthy toaster in the trash. While he may not be as handsome as the models you see in the magazines, he's a rugged, hardy worker who has kept himself clean and still has all his knobs. Please be serious if you call about this toaster oven. He's waited at the door a number of times only to be stood up. Did you come across a rug on the highway? Give it up. That rug's not yours, and there is someone who has been desperately seeking it since January. It was then that this rug, which has sentimental value to the owner, fell off a truck while moving from Milford to…

Craigslist is full of information -- and crazy surprises.
We learned this week while browsing the listings on Craigslist that spring brings out the people full force posting in the "missed connections." Like blooms on the vine, these people are awakened to profess their love on the internet. You are the most beautiful woman, you work at Wegmans and your name begins with a "C" There's a guy out there, who says he's 35, and he has sent you a rose (electronically, but uploading it to Craigslist) and wrote a poem to you that starts, "You are the most beautiful woman in the world." He "catches a glimpse of your beauty" on Sunday evenings at Wegmans in Northborough, where you work. This broken, non-usable grill is yours for free! You just have to pick it up and it's yours. A tenant at this residence in…

He then apologizes.
A Dunkin Debaucle (we didn't say drunken, we said Dunkin) A man issued a heartfelt apology on Craigslist, saying he is sorry he perhaps made a woman pee her pants in the Dunkin Donuts Drive-Thru in Marlborough recently. Apparently, the man was enraged when he saw the woman chuck an old iced coffee cup out the window. In anger, he picked up the cup, knocked on the window, asked if she had dropped something, and dumped the old coffee on her car. Calling himself a "large man," he appears to still be enraged, warning the woman that she shouldn't return to this particular Dunkins. The Whisk girl would like to withdraw her comment that she is married A girl in the BJ's produce department in Northborough last week, calling herself the "Whisk girl…

The best - and worst - of Craigslist this week.
Some of us swear by online dating. Others have romantic thoughts of catching someone's eye on the street, or in a cafe. This man in Framingham has "always dreamed of meeting a beautiful woman like you in a supermarket." This is who "you" are: you were picking up some fruit and "other healthy things for lunch." "You walked the other way every time I tried to approach you...(probably would've said something stupid anyway so I was a little apprehensive). Then I saw you again in the parking lot you walked all the way across the parking lot with your shopping cart and ignored me I think. Wow, you are beautiful and look good in those jeans! tell me what kinda car you drive or the colors in your hair... so I know it's you." While you wanted …

And this week's Best of Craigslist is upon us.
Tiling the time away You don't need the board or the dictionary. That will be provided. You need only the desire to play Scrabble with this person in MetroWest who wants a Scrabble buddy, and clearly does not use the app on the iPhone. This is the real deal. Weekends are open for this Scrabble player, and he or she suggests that you could meet up for a game or two at Dunkin' Donuts. You should be either an intermediate player, or advanced. He's as free as a bird, now, and this bird wants to sing some Skynyrd A guy in Westwood says he can "get away with singing Ronnie Van Zandt." While that doesn't sound like a rousing endorsement, he's itching to get a Lynyrd Skynyrd tribute going. "Skynyrd is just one of those bands I never got tired of, …

Craigslist: it ain't got no good grammar, but it's got lots of deals and love.
A 30-year-old MetroWest man seems to have gotten into some financial hot water. It's "pretty serious" and he "needs help fast." This man is looking for a friend to help him with his debt. What do you get for being a "sugarmommy?" He can dedicate about 20 hours a week to being your friend, and that includes hiking, talking and watching TV. He's lost that loving feeling, and he just wants to talk about it, with another girl How many guys' girlfriends or wives continually try to make it work? That's what this man in Framingham wants to know. Maybe, he says, he should have been posting in "rants and raves," but is reaching out in the "strictly platonic" section, seeking a female friend to talk with about the woes of marriage. "I am very …

This week's Craigslist has posts of love, business and pets.
A person in Westborough is caring for a feral cat until the winter weather is over, and plans to release him when it gets warmer. The cat, however, has "sore eyes that need to be treated." This person is looking for a vet who can deal with feral cats and treat his eyes. The ghost in you The founder of a new paranormal group based in Northborough is looking for investigators who have some experience or knowledge about the field. So far, the team consists of three people, and the group looks for three more to round it out.

This week's Best of Craigslist also features missed connections and job opportunities, including looking for someone to 'plasture.'
Established bookstore Tatnuck Bookseller in Westborough is advertising on Craigslist for a "detailed person" to work 27 hours per week to supervise and maintain the book department. "Duties also include store opening and closing procedures. Must have basic computer skills," the ad says. Here are other Craigslist highlights from the Westborough area. Don't stand ... don't stand so...don't stand so close to me ... Temptation, frustration ... so bad it makes him cry. OK, maybe not cry. But a 42-year-old teacher in the MetroWest can't stop thinking about the female student he had in his class last semester. "You were my student last semester, and now I can't stop thinking of you. I know nothing can happen between us as long as you are student …
