Do you have an old GSM cell phone?

[wallacestreet.livejournal.com]

So our cell phone met its untimely fate in a puddle of icy water, and we need to replace it. Do any of you have an old (or new) GSM cell phone (unlocked or T-mobile) that you'd be willing to sell or give. I'm very wary of buying a phone from Craigslist as there's a lot of stolen electronics out there, and we need a phone nowish so other internet sources take a long time. We'd be happy with whatever you've got and if it's not fancy enough, it will at least get us through until we can order a new one. Post here or by private message and thanks all in advance.

pallets in/around Davis Square?

[studeronomy.livejournal.com]

After a recent flood, I'm interested in moving the items in my basement (all, thankfully, in protective plastic bins) up off the ground an inch or so. Does anyone know where in or around Davis Square I might find wooden pallets? I know stores and warehouses often sell (or simply give away) pallets. Does anyone know of any in Davis Square (or one of the surrounding neighborhoods) that are willing to do so?

Moar free stuff! (Non-books this time.)

You people are awesome. Come help me get rid of more stuff!

HP DeskWriter 600 printer

With toner cartridge, cables, power adaptor, book, and Mac driver DISKETTES. Completely forgotten, then unearthed in a plumbing crisis in a frantic effort to find the shutoff valve (successful). Might as well be doing some work if your Mac speaks SCSI, or you have a vehicle to get it to a school who can use it - suggestions of where to donate it won't be helpful, as I'm avehicular.

Tufts Pool

I've searched through the memories, and the numbers to call on the Medford City Hall website were disconnected.  I'm a new Medford resident, and wanted to take advantage of the Tufts Pool.

Does anyone know the phone number to call in reference to getting a membership to the Tufts Pool?  Or when I can go there to get a ID?
Thanks!
