万花筒 2009-04-23&04-24 经济衰退，大家以物易物吧

I'm pretty easy to bargain down, unfortunately. So mostly I'm concerned with seeing people, and so prices are always secondary to me. But you know, you try to make a living. And what I need I'm not really sure, you know, everyone has all sorts of needs all the time, I think I need my bicycle repaired.

 

I do marketing¹ and I also do sound therapy, and I do pet sitting.

Thank you, so I'm kind of a dayworker. as an interior designer? And I can offer those services. I also help people raise money for projects, or find other ways of bartering² with people for projects. And I'm looking to find people who can help me put a new coat of varnish³ on my apartment.

 

I'm a Pilates instructor⁴ and a dancer, teach dance floor protocol⁵ or whatever you do but.. I'm also a swimming instructor and an Ohio high school teacher, so I mean to of course education, and I'm good in output you can tell me what to do.
