\"\"I just looked at couches at Kane’s Furniture, even tho they’re always overpriced, they don’t negotiate and they charge $100 for delivery. The one I liked best <\/a>was $742. Then I went to Furniture Liquidators while I was on 192 and for $512 out the door they delivered (for $25 and two hours later) a similar couch that I liked just as well. \u00a0 I bought my big puffy recliner from Kane’s two years ago; they delivered the wrong chair 3 days late and the right one a week later. \u00a0I almost drove by Furniture Liquidators without going in, thinking they only had beds since I knew I’d bed shopped<\/a> there in July. \u00a0 I was stoked to find the perfect couch today and to get it hours later. Grace was the sales chick and she was really fun. \u00a0The drivers were two young handsome 20 something dudes who carried the couch around like it weighed nothing. \u00a0They were very cool. \u00a0I have interesting things here so it’s fun when visitors ask questions, like about the multi-denominational altar that takes up the living room. \u00a0 We did have to hack a path through the eleagnus hedge surrounding the back porch to bring it in through the sliding glass doors since it would not fit through the front doorway, but I didn’t hesitate. \u00a0Even though I’ve been growing that hedge across the doorway for 6 years and have just gotten it thick enough to hide the door – I made the cut! \u00a0Onward and upward. \u00a0New times! \u00a0Prune away the old to make way for the new! \u00a0And now, for the first time in many years, I have a couch in the living room. \u00a0Not just a recliner and straight chairs and a gazillion floor pillows. \u00a0A couch, just like real people have.<\/p>\n
