Printer paper? How much? I have at least a hundred sheets of white and a full pack of yellow. I need about 12 or 15 zip ties - keep forgetting to buy some more. ---

Zip Ties, I 've got, about 6 different sizes. I even have a few pink ones, but I’ll be taking those back to work, brought them home accidently. I could use some top shelf tequila though. ---

I got some rotgut tequila, I bought it to make pastry. Maybe you can start with your top-shelf stuff, then segue(descend?) into the gutter with what I have left over? I got a rush request for 5 dozen cupcakes for tomorrow, and I’m out of baking cups. They have to be the siliconized ones that are made of brown parchment paper(otherwise, the cakes stick like they’re holding on for dear life) Is there a baker buddy out there to get me out of this jam? ---

The store I work for sells them at a discount, and I get an employee discount on top of that. Five dozen are on the way. It’s Library Book Sale Time. I go crazy at those things: Cheap books and doing good. Anyone got any canvas bags they can spare? ---

I’ve got an old canvas boatbag I can spare. It’s stained and has an “unusual” pong, but it’s all yours. I want a dried fruit Danish. Have a tall glass of cold milk at the ready, who’s gonna’ be my gofer’? ---

My son is half Danish, but you can’t have him. 🙂 However I do have some cherry danish, baked last night. Will that do? ---

Oh sorry. I need some fabric softener. The dryer quit and I hate having crunchy towels from dry g them outside. ---

I have some you can use. You don’t need it though if you run your solar dried towels through a 5-10 minute no heat or fluff cycle after you bring them in. Uncrunches towels, jeans, and undies. Assuming of course your dryer still tumbles. Spring has re-appeared maybe to stay this time and I need some perennial rye-grass to cover up the dog spots in my lawn. ---

Well, I don’t have any grass seed personally, but the landscaper people are coming by today, I am sure they have some in the truck. I will get you some from them. I sure could use some flowerpots. ---

We have some leftover pots stored in the garage. I need to replace my mailbox. ---

I still have some mailboxes left over from when I did rental property management. Which one would you like? Anyone got any real maple syrup to spare? Not that maple flavored crap? I wants me some French toast! ---

Just stocked up on maple syrup at Trader Joe’s, a quart bottle for 8 bucks. I bought 4, maple syrup prices are supposed to rise very high, due to unfavorable weather conditions. It’s Grade B, much more flavorful and less bitter than the highly-touted Grade A. Come a-runnin’. Anyone have borage seeds? I’m planting a garden specifically for honeybees, and borage is an excellent nectar source. The flowers are blue, white or pink, I’ll take whatever you got. ---

You can have mine. They aren’t proper for the native midwest prairie I’m trying to start. I could use a few more 1 gallon ice cream pails with matching lids to freeze up some of my garden produce. ---

World’s champion ice cream eater here. Would a dozen do? Speaking of dozens, I’m out of eggs and I still wants me some French toast! ---

I have eggs, but they are already hard-boiled. I buy them by the dozen for $2.85. I pass up the 1/2-dozen quantity bags because they cost $3.29!! I need a shovel, rounded V tip, preferably, to dig a small, shallow ditch about 6 feet long, from a ponding area in the middle of my unpaved driveway to the roadside ditch, so the newspaper deliverer won’t be able to throw it into the puddle. ---

Never mind. I borrowed one from the lady across the street and the water flowed ot of the puddle overnight. All I need now is a jar of pickles, sweet crosscut preferably (choosy beggar am I), to put on my White Castle sliders. ---

Take one from the fruit basket someone sent me. But leave me the apples! Anyone got any cinnamon so I can bake the apples? ---

I have about a pound of Korintje cinnamon, from Indonesia. It’s the most fragrant kind, it’s also the one Cinnabon uses(nom nom nom…) Bring your bottle. I’m all out of baking parchment. How can I make CCC without it? Can anyone spare a roll? I SWEAR I’m gonna’ buy 5 next time I’m at the supermarket. I HATE to run out of stuff I really need. :mad: [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/neighborly-needs/735832.md?page=6) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/neighborly-needs/735832.md?page=8)
