Is there something you need but really didn't want to buy it for a one time use?

I ran across this site in Natural Awakenings magazine, www.sharesomesugar.com (although it looks like it would imply something different) and its an online community of people seeking to share or borrow items they occasionally need and would rather not buy, from ladders to carpet steamers and party chairs to kayaks. For those ware of letting just anyone borrow, for example, their sewing machine or pressure washer, the website suggests how users can create sharing groups, based on Facebook friends or email addresses, to collaborate within their already established community. For others they say getting to know new people can be part of the fun.
