What Price Comfort or Beauty?

Free is good, right? Have I got a deal for someone. I don't know for whom. I have this perfectly almost great couch with somewhat squished cushions. Now I didn't say comfy, cozy, squishy, lush cushions. Something happened between now and 2006. The foam in the cushions stopped doing the job it was meant to do. I've hardly used this couch. The springs seem to be OK. I think it was not super-great foam to begin with and then it became flimsy. I don't like flimsy foam. I'm want to dump the flimsy-foam couch





and get a sleek leather couch like this.



You say, "Sell the flimsy-foam couch." When? I work Monday through Friday and I'm not able to run home during the day. I also don't want to deal with the Craig's List Strangler. I have a strong hunch he works evenings and weekends at his part time strangling job.

You say I should donate it? Easier said than done. I've looked for charities that will pick it up and (you guessed it) the charity truck drivers only work Monday through Friday. I have no idea what they are doing evenings and weekends. I won't hazard a guess.

I'm hoping a friend will want it. I think it would make a swell addition to a game room where kids can jump on it and squish those cushions even further. Or maybe someone who is very industrious can recover it, even recover just the cushions. Anyone? ANYONE???

You bring the truck and the lifting power and I'll provide the free couch and a big ol' smile while you take it on out of here. There's an elevator. That's a bonus, yes?

While I'm talking price, just take a gander at this beauty. I love it but c'mon. $31,000 for a watch?

I love watches. I have a teensy, tiny addiction. I found replicas of the Hublot selling from $85 to $595. I think I'll hold out for the real deal. One day. A girl can have goals.
