What becomes of the brokenhearted...toasters ...

This oven in Grafton has plenty of good toasts left in him. In honor of Earth Day, this family really dreads tossing this perfectly healthy toaster in the trash. While he may not be as handsome as the models you see in the magazines, he's a rugged, hardy worker who has kept himself clean and still has all his knobs. Please be serious if you call about this toaster oven. He's waited at the door a number of times only to be stood up.

Did you come across a rug on the highway?

Give it up. That rug's not yours, and there is someone who has been desperately seeking it since January. It was then that this rug, which has sentimental value to the owner, fell off a truck while moving from Milford to Upton. Heading north on Route 140, the rug took a dive off the vehicle somewhere near Fresco's. It's red and has an orange hue. There's a reward for its return.

He'd like to meet in a bar rather than at the monkey bars, if possible

Last week, this man talked to a woman at a playground located in Marlborough. He regrets not asking you out before you left, and doesn't know how to find you. "I doubt that you will see this but I figured it doesn't hurt to try. Reply with who you were with so I will know it's you."

Man seeks MetroWest affair

He says you're both seeking the same thing, and he's looking for his "super beautiful married lady," as he posts in the "platonic" section of Craigslist. At 53, this guy said he's attractive and not arrogant. He's clean and in good shape, and he's looking for a lady who is also married who may want to partake in an extramarital affair. We're guessing this post will be removed if his wife has the password to his email accounts.

You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar, but he met you

Not quite. But close. You were working as a host at a restaurant in Natick. You, a gal, apparently made eye contact more than once with a guy who sat at the bar in your restaurant. Here's the catch: you must tell him the name of the restaurant, and what he was wearing. Then, you've got yourself a date!

Help moving some home furnishings made of ferns?

This guy in Framingham needs help moving "ferniture." Perhaps his furniture is built out of ferns, or the person who built it is named Fern. That's all the information we have. But please call him.

Seeking Marlborough slims

This person in Marlborough never actually presents any credentials as a photographer, but seeks female models who are "slim and natural" for a custom photo shoot. Amateur? That's fine, too. Pay? Doesn't indicate.

Elderly man needs a home

A family in Framingham has an urgent need to move a 76-year-old man (presumably a family member) from their house to yours. "This will require someone to have an extra room in their house and have prior experience working with the elderly or comparable work. Again, person needs to have own residence with ample space and be able to commit to 24-7 care." It's a private pay situation.
