bartering skills

so the idea of "bartering" our skills has come up several times recently and i think it is a neat idea.
  • barter: barter is a form of trade where goods or services are exchanged for a certain amount of other goods or services, i.e. there is no money involved in the transaction. It can be bilateral or multilateral as trade. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barter)
now for those of you out there that are thinking: "having to give and get something equal in return doesn't necessarily fit with the jesus paradigm"... i know, i know. however, let's just say that we really have a lot of skills to offer one another whether given something in return on not.

my hope here is to start a thread of people listing what they can offer!

what do you do that can help others in this community save resources, time, etc?


i can:
-cut hair
-design stationary, invitations, business cards, announcements
-be a workout buddy (running, biking, swimming, tennis, lifting weights)
-teach soccer
-plan menus/make dinner
-share my car
