Okay, so the $80 pillows that the wife bought a few weeks ago when she ordered a new sofa and leather recliner were defective. One was badly ripped and the other had a dead gerbil inside. So we stop at the Lazy Boy Emporium to return the pillows and knock some heads together for their audacity in trying to hornswaggle us. Kimberly, our decorator and saleslady, feighned her concern but accepted no responsibility whatsoever for the scullduggery. Get this, she offered to have some Mexican upholsterer "fix" the torn pillow which any jackass could see was beyond repair. The gerbil issue wasn't even mentioned. We said, "no way Jose" we wanted our damn money back. Finally, Kimberly relented and we were "made whole" as the lawyers would phrase it. Before we got out of that joint we found ourselves looking at the recliners. You see there has been some growing tension over who will have first dibs on the new recliner if and when it is delivered, so the hair brained idea was bandied about that we should get another recliner at some time in the future. Well before I knew it Nancy was at the sales desk rummaging through her pocket book for her credit card and signing the papers to buy the recliner pictured above. This furniture thing has been going on for 7 weeks, we have nothing to sit on in the living room and there is no real hope in sight. We're being told that hurricane Katrina has created a shortage of foam needed to make furniture, ergo the delay. I guess Nancy and I have become hurricane victims. I'll be calling FEMA in the morning.

I hope you know that everyone who knows me who comes here off my links can see why it is that I turned out so weird.
They all like your blog. :)
By the read of your blog you would benefit from profession help... or just not associate with those strange friends of yours. fw
I think fw is the problem here, he has inculcated this thing about new furniture into you for so long that you think you need it (just because he finally let loose with some of those 5,678 sick day paid leave funds)
DAVE!!!!, the gerbils are coming, the gerbils are coming! Get out now.
Sorry kiddo you're stuck with some recessive genes.;)
