But the weirdest issue about money from guns is the Winchester house near San Francisco. Widow Winchester was so afraid of the ghost of the people kiled by the guns made by hubby, she made shrinking rooms, stairs that went nowhere, doors that opened to nothing.... I've always heard that she believed that if she kept building onto the house that she wouldn't die, or something like that. She pretty much lost it after her husband died. Joyce |

We finally have a sofa!
Congrats on the find!
My sofa came from another member at my old squadron. He had bought it for when his father in law visited (it had a pull out bed). His father in law came over ONCE, slept on this sofa for ONE NIGHT, and didn't come back again...ever! After ten years the guy was tired of having a huge extra sofa in his house. And I was sitting in my living room in a lawn chair to watch TV! I offered him $50 for it but all he wanted was "the damn thing out of my house" so I have a big, fluffy, soft sofa with a pull out bed, and the guy even delivered it! I have had it for 5 years now. It is starting to show its age a bit but I forsee keeping it for atleast another 5 years. It is great to have the pull out double bed for company. --Fil I just came from an auction here in town where I bought a comfortable and not bad-looking sofa for only $20! I think the reason it went for so little was they left it until the very end, by which time most of the other buyers had either already left or had spent their money on other stuff. Congrats on the sofa. There are yard sales all around here selling sofas and chairs due to divorces, etc. You can usually get some good deals at yard sales. Jill |

It is starting to show its age a bit but I forsee keeping it for atleast another 5 years. It is great to have the pull out double bed for company. There's a used furniture store about 1/4 mile from where I live. The owner, Frank, bought the electric stove and the old A/C unit that came with this house. Frank goes to auctions in outlying areas and buys for his store, so I told him I was looking for a decent sofa, but it had to be really inexpensive, and NOT with a bed, as they are way too heavy for me to shift around. All the sofas in his store since March have been the kind with pull-out beds, and a few that were so ugly and dirty that I wouldn't take them as gifts. He wasn't at this auction Friday night but if he had been there I know he wouldn't have bid on *my* sofa. He's a nice guy and he likes me, but unfortunately he's not my type. |

I think the reason it went for so little was they left it until the very end, by which time most of the other buyers had either already left or had spent their money on other stuff. I've been looking for a decent and affordable sofa ever since I moved to town, so I am really thrilled. But that's not all - I also got two tables for another buck, and a box of *cotton* area rugs for $2!! Rugs like these cost around $20 apiece new at Walmart, and there are three of them in the box! So I'm happy as a pig in slop tonight, and tomorrow if I can find a way to bring the stuff home, the cats will finally have a place to sleep other than the floor, the cat condo, my desk chair and my bed. I'm sure they'll be just as thrilled as I am! Wow, Pat. The deals you manage to find are always astounding. I'm sure you'll be much more comfortable with a sofain the house, too =) -- monique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca |

I'm looking for a new sofa too. Me too. We actually have two couches in our house. The one in the TV room is from my single days. DH absolutely hates it because there's a pillow-type effect at head and neck level that kind of forces your head forward, but he hates spending big money even more. Then there's another one in the bay window at the front of the house. It was free from friends, but it still has some of their dog's fur, and the center cushion has a hole on both sides, so you can't hide it. Pretty sure both of these couches would send you into an instant asthma attack, Kristi. Too much pet history! I have plans to buy an L-shaped sectional couch for the living room and move my old couch to the bay window, and give away the hand me down couch ... but sectionals are expensive! Youch! We'll see. We (mostly I) actually have a lot of home improvement plans, but it's one thing to say "I want a new bed" and another to actually come to grips with spending the money to get what you want. Meh. -- monique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca |

No IKEA. I hear everyone talk about it, but have never seen one. I'm aiming for a new sofa and chair next year, but everytime I go looking, the furniture I see is just much too huge. Ikea is great. Don't think there's one anywhere near here, either, but I loved their stuff when I was in VA. -- monique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca |

Here in Finland they have an online store, too, so you can just order stuff. Of course, I'd rather try out a piece of furniture first, especially something big, like a sofa. -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki.
