True story,

My folks bought a $$$ Leather sofa at Suburban a few years ago. It was originally several grand. They were in there looking for a '50s dining set up and found the Decoro couch on clearance, had been the floor model, for like 800. Awesome couch, all heavy oak frame. Took like 5 people to get in the house.

Oh and dad finally found an authentic '50s dining table and chairs on ebay. Built in like '48 and the chairs are sparkly red vinyl.

The sale lady asked if we wanted to go to the other wing. That is where the sofas START at 7 grand. Are you kidding me. I paid less than that for a brand new 1974 914 2.0.

Sounds like time to start testing couches for napping. That's IMPORTANT!

Know a guy that worked at Braums dairy. They had a milk recall for too much ecoli...made ice cream out of the recalled milk because they don't check ice cream for ecoli. eech. You never want to work in a food company that you like the food.

I like to get the really cheap ice cream and add just a little milk to it and stir it up, it gets ice crystals just like home cranked. The more expensive brands have too much extra stuff in them to "make it smooth and creamy" so they don't make the ice crystals like home cranked has.

I made a point to tell my parents I wanted one of their couches when they decided to replace it. The things is brilliant for napping. I got the couch a few years ago.

After two hours we made our escape from furniture hell. New stuff is ordered. 6 to 8 weeks for it to get made and delivered.
