No, she just wanted it hauled away and given to a needy person, I think you'll be fine. :thumbup:

I think she would have gladly told you to take it for yourself if she had known you wanted it.

If you want to make it up to Goodwill, you could make a donation to them.

Yes. She might have even wanted to offer it to you, but didn't want to offend.

You could always take your old, crappy couch in its place.  :-\

That's what I thought. Scrap, are you taking over my brain, this is the second time in two days.



Parts, you can use the old couch to stirr up hell fire too.

(and that lady will think it is fine I think, you did her a favour, she'll probably be happy someone she knows is enjoying her couch. And in case of doubt, donate something indeed, or tell her)

Went today to take a load in from my mom's for donation, we've been trying to do some spring cleaning.

Drive around back somedays and see what they toss and you'll feel less guilty.

A pretty nice looking couch and a beautiful looking old wardrobe sitting in back by the dumpsters getting soaking wet in the rain today. Our store is on the small side, I'm thinking these were ousted because of space constraints.

Checked out the showcase last month and looked over a couple of fake Louie V purses with $50 price tags. I tossed a fugly fake Prada I picked up at a sale into one of the donation bags last month after seeing that, paid a whole .25 for it (It WAS that ugly). Guess what's in the showcase this week? :zoinks:

I come from a long line of pickers like this.  My brother had a store next to a thrift shop in one of the richest towns in the country and made a good living on selling what they sold or tossed.  Once he found a multi volume set of books that were tossed with a mildewy smell.  It was a first edition of the works of Sir Arther Conan Doyle  Book one was signed the rest initialed after cleaning them up they went for $1500

I've noticed that sometimes I'm on the same wavelength as other aspies. I first noticed this with my cousins' wife. When I see her at family reunions, we can finish eachothers sentences!!  :o :o :o

It's called "eliminating the middleman." We need a lot more of that.

New one I guess this one looked like it came out of the show room an expensive one at that. Fancy claw foot wood feet and all.  Pity these people have no idea what it looks like under there condos I have worked down there before it's bad all mold and rot.  They have a bathroom falling into the crawlspace in one condo :o

That sounds like one place I lived! I was in the shower one day, lightly rested my hand against the wall to balance myself, and my hand went through the tiles and into this cheap stuff underneath! It was surreal. :twitch:

The condos are really bad in everything but cosmetics.  I am sure if I wanted I could get them either closed or condemned.  I have photos I saved to cover my ass.  They had three feet of water in the crawlspace of one for god only knows how long till I saw it checking something else

Is any of the disrepair age-related, or is it due mostly to bad design/construction? :o

Both bad design, bad location , poor building and lack of maintenance for years.  They are trying to catch up but some of the buildings are so bad I don't know what they will d.  They have no money either. This is an example of the crawls

The trusses are broken in a few spots and some cripple walls were gone.  The worst so far was a couple toilets fell into the crawl.  The mold and microbial hazard would get them in big trouble if anyone from the town or state saw it.  One drain from a shower emptied into there since they were built in the 1970's and when it backed up some er "brown trout" would come out the pie too.  To think they all go for $300,000 and up

ever since i was little, i was fascinated by the concept of:

the most comfortable couch ever.

its an idea that has popped up elsewhere too, but they never really explored it properly

imagine

the most comfortable couch EVER

would you instantly cum, by sitting down in it?
would you be SO relaxed, you stop breathing and die?
would you just burst into tears?

i dream of it...

My brother has the most comfortable bed imaginable. You get into bed and just forget to move. Seems to be a downside of the bed, people not moving anymore. But wow, it feels good.

Is that because it kills you and you end up as a corpse?

I was fascinated by this too....and the most comfortable bed.

I waited for ages to buy the perfect couch. One that was long enough to stretch out on and wide enough to spoon on whilst watching TV. It was worth the wait.

I'm still alive, and so is he.

My other brother bought a similar one, and had his wife complaining about him being that immobile. :D
Back to the store, the salesman told them that three kids was enough.  :P

Couches do tend to be short...I have trouble stretching out to my full length on most of the couches I've encountered, and I'm only 5'2"! :thumbdn:

I'm still waiting for my comfy couch. :laugh:

My present living room set was "scavenged" from the neighbors who were selling there dad's old house and didn't want the furniture. Not bad, but starting to sag.

So far I've had:

2 sofas that came with the house, 1 that would magically spit stuffing out on the rug when you sat on it, the other a sleeper minus the matress that ate pets & small children.

A curbed sectional with bad legs. Actually pretty nice after I fixed the legs.

A beautiful secondhand floral sofa my MIL picked out (NEVER let your MIL pick out furniture). Imagine a brick with legs. :zombiefuck:

A small secondhand sleeper sofa with colors guaranteed to induce flashbacks without a slipcover.

It's not a decorating experience with me, it's an adventure.  :viking:
