i give my stuff away all the time, mostly because i have much too large a collection of wonderful things, and frequently run out of space. if you come to my house and like something, ill probably give it to you as long as you promise to use it. i gave away a mandolin the other day because i had three and NO ONE requires 3 mandolins. no one was playing it, and it should be used. (this is not an invitation to come over and hang out.)

this all sounds petty, so heres the point: i have stuff, and its more stuff than i will ever use. dont have stuff? have some of mine, im not using it anyway. no, im fine; i have plenty already.

actually, this angle might no go over well with your fortune 50 audience...

I was just thinking how great it'd be to be given a mandolin, and then realised that I'd have three...

actually, this angle might no go over well with your fortune 50 audience... -On the contrary, it feeds directly in to the heart of the product I've designed. It's a for those with to give to those without.

By the way, I don't have a mandolin... hint, hint :)

no worries, I was really just joking around. I have an old mandolin that I got in Mexico years ago. It's a piece of junk. Really, I am in the market for a baritone ukelele. I recently played at a wedding of a friend and was accompanied by a baritone uke and I loved how it sounded.

I'm not really on Reddit much but I know that mk is working on a way for Hubskier's to PM each other. Till then!
