I don't feel like downloading and installing the Gimp driver. If you want it - it is yours.

Probably more stuff to follow - I am trying to clean house a bit. No, the big-ass TV will not be one of the items.

One brown faux suade futon-style chair and ottoman. It's in excellent shape. It's "modern" style with a black metal frame.
One pair of women's downhill skis.
One pair of men's cross-country skis.
All items available for pick-up within the next couple weeks, or we might be able to drop off.

More stuff coming available once we move. :)

You haven't seen the futon chair. ;)

(Actually, it's in great shape, and only a year old, and barely used. It's just... um, not my style.)

I've got lots of crap, too, but nothing anyone would want to travel 1280 miles to get. I am donating a bunch of stuff (household stuff, kids furniture, etc) to a local church that helps out with Habitat for Humanity homes and relocated people that don't have anything. It's all really good stuff, just not what we are using anymore and we'd like to see someone else get some use out of it.

I have two craptastic IKEA triangle end tables that can either be used in corners or put together to form a square and used as an end table.

Small dark wood writing desk with keyboard drawer. From Target. Probably 2 1/2 x 4 (or thereabouts). Pretty plain looking but functional.

If anyone is interested in holding a garage sale, my neighborhood is fantastic for them. Our house is also on a corner with no landscaping to speak of. We could have a ball and make some money!

A garage sale swanking? This has potential...

I might have a few items. Not dying to get rid of them, but the convenience of a garage sale might motivate me to clear out some stuff.

Ooooh! I like the garage sale idea. :)

I have tons of stuff. I usually just drop it at goodwill because living in an apartment I can't have a garage sale.

I have stuff to get rid of, but it mostly goes into the donation pile. If I figure out anything worth anything, it'll probably be around late November early December.

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude. My favorite. (sending link to Mr. Darcy)

How old is the mattress?

Not Afraid
10-11-2007, 09:18 AM
Hmmm. The matress is probably 10 years old. But, it has spent most of it's time as a guest bed. I actually can't be sure. Is there an expiration date on this thing?

Morrigoon
10-11-2007, 09:21 AM
No, it's more about use... and my ability to talk the Boy into it :) (We *need* a new bed, and bigger than our full size mattress)

Home Depot does. And they let you borrow it (for $) almost any time.

But - as a friend found out - you have to make a purchase from Home Depot to use it.

uHaul rents trucks and I think it is Enterprise that has been touting their pick-up truck rental for house hold goods.

Morrigoon

Yeah Uhaul is $20 plus mileage, which racks up pretty quick

One huge and heavy reclining sofa, well loved. Must pick up at 10am on 10/20, or it goes to the dumpster. Very comfy - just too big for our new place, and it has to be removed (hoisted from our patio) by the movers, and we can't just leave it on property.

The following may be picked up anytime before 10/31, or it goes to Goodwill:

Charcoal BBQ ("smokey joe" style)


White plastic hangers (about 80 of 'em - "tube" style, purchased)


Men's business attire (name brand/excellent condition - shirts are a size 16 neck, pants are 32, and a blazer)


Faux suade futon chair with ottoman


Heavily soiled pair of boxer shorts (found on side of road)



We'll have more to add to the list as we keep unloading the old place.

Heavily soiled pair of boxer shorts (found on side of road)



How heavily soiled? soiled with what? what road? what compelled you to pick them up?

This could almost be an entry for the six-word story thread.

so, are you saying the heavily soiled boxer shorts are already spoken for?

so, are you saying the heavily soiled boxer shorts are already spoken for?No, not yet.

However, we require that you pass a rigorous test to prove you're worthy of giving them a good home.

The test involves a garden hose, bowling ball, goat head, paddle, and hot pink fishnet stockings. Let me know if you're still interested. ;)

If it doen't work out, is it okay if I give them to my hairdresser's daughters?

OK - we have something to add to the freecycle:

One pair of 6-foot-tall halogen torchlights. They're matte black - we've had them for a few years in San Francisco, but our new place here in LA is all about track lighting, so we don't need 'em.

Anyone interested?

Moonliner

I'm not interested in the boxers..

But I am curious why you left them by the side of the road in the first place.

Disneyphile
10-29-2007, 10:45 AM
An old neighbor took our old couch, the futon chair, and BBQ.

And, we're going to keep the stereo for now, because I might have some use for it in my studio.

Y'all missed out on everything, except for the boxers. ;)

My old bed is up for grabs:

Queen size frame (Headboard, Footboard, rails) with a washed-pine finish

Full-size mattress set, 9 y/o but clean, box spring has a broken slat on the underside (From being in a queen sized frame)

Also:

Red chair-and-a-half - La-Z-Boy recliner, nearly the width of a loveseat. Very comfortable. In need of cleaning since it was formerly in a house with 6+ dogs. I'd keep it myself, but no room to put it, and I'll be damned if I'm throwing it away.
