DIY MOVING SUCKS

Congratulations! You just landed that killer deal on craigslist – a sweet, deluxe pool table that fits perfectly in the rec room.  But that thing is not only heavy, it’s delicate.  We’re not just talking bend-your-knees heavy; we’re talkin’ hernia heavy.  So what do you do?

As craigslist continues to rock the local classifieds market, our little pool table scenario is becoming more and more common.  And believe it or not, a bunch of beefy guys in weight belts who know a thing or two about leverage may just save the day.

Local moving companies are reaping the rewards of the public’s greater comfort in buying oversized, awkward and hard-to-move stuff online and locally.  And sometimes, throwing it in the back of your brother-in-law’s F150 just won’t cut it.  Don’t get me wrong, he’s a great guy and all…

So how do you find good local and/or specialized mover and do so without getting ripped off?

Give sites like uShip.com and craigslistdelivery.com a try if you want to save your back and marriage/life partnership/whathaveyou.  uShip helps you easily connect with movers – in this case, local guys – who are feedback-rated (a la eBay).  Once you list something you need moved, they actually place competing bids to win your business (again, think eBay, but the price goes lower), so this helps you move your beast of bargain at a reasonable price.

So finding deals on craigslist can be really fun and exciting – and it usually is.  But sometimes that heavy, awkward or delicate dream buy can quickly turn into a nightmare if you try to save a buck on transport.  Invest in the peace of mind – your back will thank you for it.

RUNNING HOT AND COLD

AP contributor Meg Kinnard has suggested which Defendant McMaster has not prosecuted so most as a singular harlotry case in his 7 years as SC Attorney General, as well as has not objected to internal newspapers using adult use ads, selecting instead to conflict SF-based craigslist:

Ann Bartow, a highbrow of Internet law during a University of South Carolina School of Law, pronounced McMaster’s preference to take upon Craigslist as well as not internal newspapers which publicize chaperon services suggests domestic motivations.

“Why Craigslist? Newspapers run a same ads, though they have people locally who would mount up for them, as well as he didn’t wish to divide a newspapers which would be stating upon his campaign,” Bartow said.

TURNING A BLIND EYE

One of the some-more engaging stories in this “news cycle” has been the comprehensive disinterest upon the partial of reporters as good as politicians comparison in adult use ads featured in journalistic media, no make the difference how countless or striking they might be when compared to craigslist.

Consider the following ads, the tiny sampling of the tens of thousands of “escort ads” now featured in classifieds operated by Village Voice Media, publishing house of dozens of newspapers via the US (WARNING – GRAPHIC DEPICTIONS OF HUMAN SEXUALITY):

UPDATE – Oddly, any of these ads have been pulled! Highlights enclosed mixed close-up photos of the lady behaving fellatio, as good as cost lists for services together with “GFE, BBBJ, CIM, “swallow,” DATY, “digits”, 69, “facials,” “anal,” as good as the “cum immersion rainbow.” Not as good tough to find identical examples between the thousands of superfluous ads.

BTW, any of these were between the “featured” ads for their particular cities, for which Village Voice charges extra, such which they as if fell good inside of their standards for this category.

It’s value observant which ANY ONE OF THESE AD TITLES ALONE contains some-more pithy calm than we will expected find in all craigslist adult use ads combined.

Why have been such ads featured by the timeless association which operates the sequence of newspapers national of no seductiveness to the same politicians which have intent in the magician track opposite craigslist? Could it have anything to do with their need for certain stories as good as debate endorsements from those really same newspapers?

And because have been such ads of no seductiveness to journal reporters? Is it probable which essay stories vicious of craigslist’s (relatively tame) “adult service” territory is some-more career-friendly than aggressive their own employer (or journalistic media brethren) for handling the (far some-more graphic) “adult service” territory of their own?
