Editor's Note: Patch has no control over the status of these posts on Craigslist and how long they remain available.
Will looks for Grace
A single, gay male living in Framingham is looking for a single, straight or lesbian "gal pal." He'd like someone close to his age with varied interests ... someone to go to a club or a bar once in a while, cook a meal, shop or dine out.
Pack a rake, a hard hat and a bathing suit
This may be the situation for you if you are a landscaper, construction worker and a boat driver. A person on Lake Masspenock in Hopkinton is in need of someone in the morning and afternoon to go for a boat ride before and after your job, which would landscaping and construction.
Heavy on the drums, and practice time
A Framingham-based band called Sonic Pulse is in need of a new drummer. The band is signed to a label and also has a few endorsements. The band is a "mix of thrash and power metal with some other elements." You'd need to be available, also, two times a week for practice.
Video editor needed
A media marketing company in Milford is seeking a video editor immediately. The right candidate will edit business marketing videos, video profiles on local professionals, instructional videos and real estate video tours.
Frantic to find the faucet
The post doesn't say much, but a person in Westborough clearly thinks that Craigslist is the best place to find someone who can seek out a certain Delta brand faucet head that he needs. He'll send you the photo if you think you can find it.
Squeaky flew away
There is a missing cockatiel in Milford. If you can help bring Squeaky home, there is a reward.
Red Foot Tortoise needs a home
A "sweet and cute" two-year old tortoise is in need of a home. A family in Northborough is looking to find a place for him, and for a rehoming fee, this pet comes with the "cage and all the stuff in it."
Honey at the Honey Dew
A guy spotted you recently at the Westborough Honey Dew and just wanted to "say how beautiful I think you are." He held the door open for you. You? Well, you are a girl who wore a long dress and drove a Ford Fusion. "Wish I would have had the nerve to say hello to such a beautiful 'women.'"
Constructive message
You "made an old guy's day." This week, you, a woman working construction detail in Marlborough, apparently smiled at a man as he drove slowly past. Your eyes locked, and he gave you a slight smile. "Although I am way older then you I just wanted to thank you for noticing me and returning my smile," he writes. "If you see this let me know what type of vehicle I was driving so I know I am not being goofed on by someone looking for a laugh."
What the heck is that hissing sound?
A Grafton person is selling hissing roaches for $1, and will not ship. These hissing roaches, he writes, are "great kids pets, science classroom pets, or for feeding of lizards. All are fed real well - not on garbage."
Natick guy "looking for a 420 connect"
A guy in Natick said he'd be in town and has some "top quality 420 that I need to get rid of." He can deliver, he said, to the Natick or Framingham area. He even lists his prices, but won't deliver to Boston, because Boston cops apparently are more likely to read Craigslist and pick up on pot sales on the internet.
Married man looking for a married woman friend
There is no shortage of these type of messages on Craigslist. This week, we'll spotlight this one. There's a 42-year old man in Framingham who is not looking to break up his marriage or his family, but feels a little lonely and would like to connect with a married woman to "do things together.""Also, I am very understanding of the constraints that you may have, and respectful of your situation."
