Local alternatives to "Got Junk"?

(It just occurred to me the potentially randy reading one could perform on the subject line. Lol!)

Dear Davis Square folks,

I've got various big clunky items sitting around mostly in various storage areas--a couple of dead TV sets, semi-dead stereo set, some furniture, etc. I really want to get rid of anything that can go before my next move and am researching various outfits such as 1-800-GOT-JUNK. (I've tried Freecycle, but this seems to be the sort of thing nobody wants except for professionals who make a living out of recycling rubbish.)

I was wondering whether any of you smart, sassy, crafty individuals have heard of locally based firms that do this kind of thing--and might potentially charge less than the big national firms.

Thanks and Happy Spring (we devoutly hope!)!

Mount Sunapee ski or snowboard lesson

I purchased a Buy With me for Mount Sunapee that expires after this weekend. I've been unable to use it do to tons of scheduling conflicts so I figured I'd offer it up here. It is for a 2 hours lesson, ski or snowboard equipment for the day, and a full day lift ticket to the South Peak Learning center. On the weekends lessons start on the hour from 9am-1pm. It would have to be used by Sunday. I'll take $30 for it.

Tomorrow (Saturday, March 26) is the LAST Somerville Winter Farmers' Market at the Armory, 191 Highland Avenue. The market is open from 10 am to 2 pm.

There will be one more Winter Farmers' Market at the Mayor's Fitness Challenge on Saturday, April 2, from 10 am to 2 pm. However this will be at Somerville High School, NOT the Armory.

MassFarmersMarkets.org says that the Wednesday Davis Square outdoor market will resume on May 25, and the Saturday Union Square market on June 4.

Seeking a short-term French tutor

[abrapollock.livejournal.com]

Hi folks,

Just wondering if anyone has ever used a French tutor locally who they found to be well-qualified and professional.  I am seeking some short-term tutoring (2-3 weeks) around business-related vocabulary and conduct.

If you could make any recommendations, I would greatly appreciate it!

(FYI, I already e-mailed the French Cultural Center to see if they have private tutors.)
