This beautiful Victorian playhouse is for rent at $150 per month. Originally built for my daughter, now 13, she has grown out of it. Due to the tough economic times I am renting it out to a respectable individual. The house comes complete with two standard electrical outlets and a 5,000 BTU space heater. There are also two sleeping bags available for an extra 15 dollars a month. No smoking inside, but barn style front door provides perfect ventilation. With space heater structure can reach up to 60 degrees. Parking available for a small car. No leaking cars. I don't need any oil in front of my house. No bathroom inside playhouse, but there is a convenient outdoor urinal (tree). Combination lock ensures constant security. Nice neighborhood, only possible intruders are the local raccoons. Also have a shower inside that can be used once per day between 7 and 10 am with owner supervision.
-Please give me a call about the rental and we can discuss it further.I'm relocating to Cranton area from Ma. now,the price is right.
I look forward to talking with you.

Seeking an authentic Santa impersonator to pull off the most genuine and amazing Christmas experience. Allow me to explain the scenario...my wife and children approach my home to see who but Saint Nick posing with staged gifts and a sleigh on the roof. Then you will crawl down the chimney and appear in the living room to an awestruck audience! Must be agile enough to repel down chimney (4 X 3) and remain being jolly the entire time. Chimney will be swept prior to dissent. Explain how you're qualified.
•Location: RI
•Compensation: $250
-My name is David P, I can be very jolly and im skinny enough to climb down your chimney , the only thing is i do not have a Santa suit. Maybe if u have one i can do th job, nevertheless i still have the courage to climb down the chimney and give your children one great x-mas experience. I have 3 of my own and i love to see them smile.
hope to hear from you.
917-XXX-XXXX
Sincerely- David
-are you kidding, are seriously asking someone to risk a broken neck climbing down a chimmeny? havent you read or seen all the news stories about people who slipped and died doing this? merry christmas kids look santa's dead in the chimmeny wow how irresponsible
-Hi,
I have no problem repeling down the chimney as I am a former us army ranger. However, when I get the the metal flue stop about 3 feet up from your grate I'll have to kick it out so figure about 1,000 for the masonary work that will be needed after I leave. Also, once I get out if your wife is hot, figure on me giving her a little finger up under her nigt gown.. Get back to me if your still interested. I'll charge ya 500.. with a discount of 100 if your wife gives santa a little head.
-This is such a great idea. Kill Santa in front of your kids. Have you ever heard of the FLUE ? Nobody will get past it, or do you plan on removing it? What if this person slips on the way down, and drops to there death. You must have great insurance, or are you just going to give your house to the family of this poor dead Santa for compensation. I don't know who would be more stupid, you for hiring someone, or a person who would actually do it. I guess I will have to watch the news for the end result on this one.
-what the @$%# are you smoking. 250 dollars to "repell" down you chimney and be "jolly". Give me a break. GOOD LUCK. I say you can buy your own costume and do it yourself.
-My name is Mark M. I am very qualified for this job because for one i play santa every year for my nieces and nephews, and i sound like him to. I never did it going done a chiminey but i no i can and i no i am perfectly qualified. Please e-mail me back or call me at 401-XXX-XXXX. Thank you.
-I'm 19 would that be a problem?

Local art studio holding a new and unique art sketch session. introduced to remind the world that not everything is beautiful. If you would consider yourself an "ugly" or "physically unattractive" person please send us your first name, age, and if you've had any modeling experience in the past. Must explain what makes you particularly ugly over someone who is not.
•Location: RI

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahaha
THAT is fucking hilarious! You've made my day hahahahaha
I find your ad and your attitude offensive. You have no right to place people in catagories, "beautiful" or "ugly". To me, you are the UGLY person by promoting this idea!
Hello How are you? I just read your ad and I'm interested in modeling for you. My name is Raymond Smith and I'm 34 years old and I have modeled in the past with harleys and some other photo shoots for biker publications. I feel I'm unattractive because I'm a lil over weight and far from being in shape and dont have the most gorgeous face. Sincerely Raymond S.
My name is Jeff and I am 29. I have never modeled before. I think I am ugly. I have an odd shaped head and a dent on the side of it. I have a big bald spot as well. I think people like me because I am nice and not good looking. I am a nervous person and bite my nails down to the bone. I think ugly people have bad features and personalities. I don't feel attractive at all. Here is a pic of me.

Requires tough individual for high pay. Must keep 20,000 square foot vacant warehouse free of squatters and homeless. It's been a problem for years and the building is basically a city to them. There are currently 30 "residents" and the number is expected to grow as the cold weather approaches. You must get and keep them out. Given can of spray mace and flashlight. you can supply/carry any other weapon (strictly for protection) if you wish. Tough job for only the best security professional. List qualities that make you right for job. 20/hr
•Location: hartford
•Compensation: 20/hr
Hello,
-I have served in the US Army and have a lot of experience pulling security. I have my own gun that is registered and I can do the job for $19 an hour. I am always early and I never leave until I am relieved at my post.
-I am an ex marine also have my Connecticut Weapons Permit and carry both a .40 cal Smith and Wesson as well as a Ruger .380 as back up. I was born and raised in Providence RI and come from a tough Irish family. I donot believe that a group of homeless residents will be any sort of problem for me to control, and if they become a problem like I said I am always strapped. I can put a 3-4 man security team together for an initial stun and then work alone.
-Sounds like u need a carpenter/security man. Give the place a clean sweep with dogs. My first advice to u would be to block and lock up all entrances and exits something impenetrable than I'll set up 24 hour perimeter protection have 2 (12hour shifts). We have this problem all the time on job-sites "the key is prevention helps stop theft and bums"

I'm not going to help you. *for taxidermy reasons, i need the raccoons head. you must remove it. (pays 50 extra)
