PoolResources: Profile
TN37
Southwater, St Leonards
Hi, thank you for checking-out my profile.
----------------------------------------- My real name is not Pool Resources; it is Paul Crosland. I'm an Action for Happiness Activist, AKA Lend-It All Man -"anything I own you can borrow"- promoting sharing, working on conflict and personal transformation; Buddhist Meditation, & Wisdom. Seeks sustainability by setting up ethical companies for you to work with. CEO of Mediation Support Ltd, a co-director of Freelending CIC, and based at Southwater Centre, St Leonards on Sea in June 2011; providing a base for the local growth of www.streetbank.com. For context see eg www.freelenders.blogspot.com or even www.imperfectidealist.blogspot.com
----------------------------------------- You can borrow anything I own. (Three items per person).
----------------------------------------- Please borrow from me and lend to others.
----------------------------------------- I also use this site to record the things I want to buy with others; keeping my costs down and strengthening my local connections.
If you find an item on my list of stuff marked with four asterixes (****); this is something I use almost every day, or would, for some other reason imagine it to be difficult to lend this item out for more than a short period.
If by offering my stuff for lending, you become interested in buying something I own, let's discuss that & whether it's in the community interest too.
I divide my stuff into these categories:
1) A few things that are of most value to me (12 books, A bicycle, Panniers, Lights, Battery recharger, Some Clothes, Bedding, A computer, iPhone, A Buddha Rupa)****
2) Things to which I'm less attached, but am not ready to let go permanently.
3) Things of which I would be glad to let go, so long as the letting go is done in a way that is as 'responsible' as I can presently be in how I let these things go.
4) Things which letting go of is more important than how I do it.
Most of my items (I think) are in category 3; I will now test this theory, with your co-operation.
Anything that I want to sell you could just borrow off me, if you prefer. Your choice.
Many things I'm keen to lend out long-term (eg a year); including an inflatable canoe, beds, computers etc.
Sometimes I'll ask for a deposit or proof of ID; a bit like at a library. I'll use more discretion and hope to make more of a connection.
For more background info about me, please go to www.poolresources.info or the 'freelender on a bicycle' blog :www.freelenderonabicycle.wordpress.com
Of my give-away items, if you set up a www.streetbank.com account you can take up to 3. By only giving away three items at a time, I hope you'll choose what is most useful to you, and that more people will pick things up & share the benefits of being part of freelender.org or strretbank.com -the benefits from giving stuff away, receiving other's giveaways, lending & borrowing.
If you actually want to help me sort through my stuff & put it all on freelender.org or steetbank.com (so that everyone knows what's available) that would be appreciated too, and you'd have first pick of up to 3 giveaways per day.
I'm trying to practice 'responsible lending' interspersed with outbreaks of spontaneous generosity, and whatever happens, I'm keen to learn from, whether people choose to share, or not.
