Barbara turned to FPF in Wolcott to trade her skills for another’s. We thought it was well worth a share:
“I will make a five-course meal (choose from menu) in exchange for anyone who can successfully get any one of my three printers working with my laptop. Rave reviews for my cooking; how’s your computer smarts? Thanks!”
Here’s how things turned out:
“I got 3 offers; the first one who contacted me was a nice young woman who works in IT. She came and hooked up two of the printers. She brought home a meal of lamb kebabs marinated in yogurt, saffron, and garlic with baby potatoes, sweet peppers, onions served on a bed of fresh cooked spinach. Dessert was a pan of warm brownies. Very happy with this FPF success!”
