And here you have the best (and worst) of this week's Craigslist postings.
Editor's Note: Patch has no control over the status of these posts on Craigslist and how long they remain available. Free paint (samples)! Who cares if it is free in the first place. You can save the trouble of going to Home Depot yourself and contact this person in Framingham who is parting with two samples of paint that he got at the home depot. If you are debating between antique red and pottery red, you've really hit the jackpot. Strangers on the Pike, exchanging glances ... strangers on the Pike This week, around 4 p.m. on the Mass Pike near the Natick/Framingham line, you caught the eye of another guy, who was a passenger in a car in the third lane. He is the one who was probably staring at you. You were wearing a plaid shirt and …

This week's Craigslist has posts of love, business and pets.
Editor's Note: Patch has no control over the status of these posts on Craigslist and how long they remain available. 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. "Understand that we are a small team and hope to be one of the best paranormal groups in MA. Unfortunately, we don't have all the equipment that other paranormal groups have but we are working on that." Guy wants a cup of coffee with 'super hot' girl It's a long shot, said the guy, but he saw you recently while waiting for a lift at the Residence Inn in Marlborough. You …

This week's Best of Craigslist also features missed connections and job opportunities (including looking for someone to 'plasture.'
This week, Framingham is loaded with some nice freebies. Here are this week's picks, folks. 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 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 in the school, but I hope you remember me after you graduate this coming May. I hope your classes are going well."

Here are this week's Craigslist highlights.
Looking to unload a frontloader Someone Northborough is giving away a Gallery front loading washing machine for free. It "works through to the spin cycle, then the spin makes a clunking noise - like a bearing is bad. It is on the road for pickup." The home "became too small"; now these cats need homes A person in Milford needs to find homes for five adult cats, all of which are roughly five years old. They are well mannered cats, but this person's living situation is "becoming far too small for them and it is only fair to send them to a better home." We have to wonder if the person thought that the home would grow after adopting the cats, or if it is shocking that the home is too small for five cats now. If it doesn't scare the crap out of…

Of love, sales, jobs and opinions—it's the best of Craigslist.
You said you liked his hat, but what was he driving? At the Sunoco on Route 85 in Milford recently, a pleasant exchange was made. For you, it may have been nothing. For him, it might be a date. You made a nice comment about his hat, and he thanked you. Sound familiar. There's more. He loved the jeans you were wearing, but not sure if he told you that. Tell him what you were driving, and you've got yourself a connection. The lizard king Before you "make a bad decision," consider contacting this person in Marlborough, who is looking to give homes to large iguanas. He's been rescuing lizards his whole life, and has a lot of experience with them. Ya think you're funny? You should consider, then, Improvocation, a Framingham based improv …

Here is this week's best of Craigslist!
Here's what we thought you'd find interesting, funny ... or helpful in this week's Craigslist listings. Whiskey and it's a go-go Someone in Marlborough has a 24-inch LCD TV that he or she is willing to trade for—get ready—two half gallons of whiskey, two two-liters of Diet Pepsi, a bag of tobacco and a large pizza. We're not sure if this trade is even, but it doesn't matter what we think. Your Natick house for their Marco Island Condo? Were you looking to get away to Florida but not go through the hassle of selling your home? Someone on Craigslist is looking to swap a newly-renovated condo on a canal (with a boat dock) in Southwest Florida. What do they want? A two- or three-family in Natick. The nudity is "implied" As the tagline …

What are people looking for, selling, and talking about on Craigslist this week?
It's that time of the week again, where Patch delves into the most intersting, informative and downright ludicrous postings on everyone's favorite message board: Craigslist. We are also reminded that there is a constant struggle with knowing the difference between "your" and "you're," but that apparently it is also difficult living on the New Hampshire "boarder." Here we go. Ugly sweaters have gotten more expensive It would seem the window of time to garner some cash for an ugly winter sweater would have passed. But not for this seller in Marlborough, who is looking to unload a piece of hideous garb for $25. The sweater is hot pink, knitted, and displays a showdown of snowmen vs. snowflakes tic-tac-toe battle. We could see the $25 price …

And a local musician searches for the ghost of Tom 'Jode.'
As we look through the endless messages on Craigslist, we ponder (just as we do by scrolling through Facebook), what is so difficult about understanding the differences between "to" and "too," "you're" and "your" and "woman" and "women?" As long as spelling's not your thing, perhaps you'd be interested This Northborough guy saw you working at the Wendy's in Marlborough, and was "to" shy to say anything to you, a "very cute petiet blonde womem." We're hoping a petiet womem is similar to a petite woman, but we cannot be sure. Either way, he's hoping you'll message him if you see this. This turkey is not for human consumption, but it's free and already defrosted for you A person in Framingham has a whole turkey, still wrapped in plastic, that…

Here's this week's best in Craigslist posts around the area.
And here you have it—our "best" in the world of Craigslist this week. You're in his "work out world" Wow! That's what this guy has to say about the "older woman in yoga pants" who had lunch recently at Bill's Bar in Hopkinton. "Just wanted to say you made my day a bit better. If you are ever free, maybe we could work out? ; )" Have you seen a rug that looks lost? Someone driving a truck from Milford to Upton heading north on 140 on Jan. 1 lost his rug. An actual rug—this was not a hairpiece that flew out of a convertible. Somewhere around Fresco's, the rug decided to leave the truck. It has sentimental value, as this person bought this while deployed in Afghanistan in the military. It's red with an orange hue, and there's a reward of $100 …

This week, the best of Craigslist focuses on jobs, items for sale, freebies and love frustrations.
A new year brings new expressions of love, new things for sale, and lots of people getting rid of their old TVs. In today's browsing, we note that it's bizarre that someone from Clinton would think his or her town is spelled "Clintin." Also, the fake tree might go faster if it didn't say it was "artifitial," and those pallets might go if you didn't call them "pallots." They perhaps are getting mistaken for a member of the onion family rather than wooden support frames. Never say there's no such thing as a free can of disinfectant Hurry and grab this one before the person changes his or her mind. Someone in Framingham bought a caravan from a local school bus company, and under the caravan's seat sat a "partially used" can of spray …
