We are the proud owners of a "new" couch. An ad was posted for it in the laundry room for fifty bucks. A couple of days later, it was in the alley. It has been sitting in the middle of our living room for - god - a month now, waiting to be cleaned. I was being really indecisive about how to do that and B just worked around it.
We finally went to the mall last weekend in search of options, and after much running around, decided on a hand-held carpet cleaner. I'm kind of pissed off that this thing is now in our lives because I don't think we'll use it that much - it's pretty bulky and we have no storage space (and that's not just because I hoard stuff!). But at the mall, land of endless stores all selling the same thing, it was the best option. Also, it was like a million percent off at the good old Bay - which figures, because it only half works. We had to hand wash the couch with a soapy rag and then soak up the water using the "vacuum" setting. I say we, but B did it all. He is convinced that we shouldn't return it, that this method is quite effective. That is something Dad would say. Well, the couch looks pretty good now, so I won't complain if the lame cleaning device remains a resident.
We rearranged the furniture so that now it is the two old futons that are in the middle of the living room, on their way to goodwill. Since B's dad is visiting this weekend, they will be gone by tomorrow! Definitely.

Is it white? I can't remember but I think that's what you told me.
I hate aircon too. with a passion.
I can't believe it's $.50 to make a local call in Winnipeg.
Hey, wait a minute! Didn't there used to be a cent sign up there on the keyboard?
I think I told you it's white but I can't remember either.
MTS just increased the price of calls from payphones from 25 cents to 50 cents about 3 or 4 weeks ago. There was only a small uproar because so many people have cell phones now that no one cares. I care!
Where DID that cent key go?
