So the kid comes back from his Big-Boy outing to the laundry room all-by-himself, some 50 feet from my open door, returns and announces, "There's a green chair out there." I looked at this creature and thought about what I had created and hoped for a moment that this would turn into a career at Sotheby's or somewhere.
I meandered out later, when I was conspicuously dressed in clothes that would not be recognized as the former property of a co-tenant, and found an antique steamer wardrobe. Living in an apartment it fills up my entire dining area and it is headed for sale, all 100+ lbs. of it.
Am I the only one in Crop Circle? You know, like this?

Look, I hardly know either of you, obviously, but I moonlight as a psycho--I mean psychic.
Ummmm. Bzzzzz. Oooooooh. Aaaaawwwww.
I see two grown women in a parking lot. They go for each other, screaming, cussing, scratching and hairpulling.
Ommmmmmmmm. Wait.
This lasts 30 seconds until they each are sobbing inconsolably. They both stop, because they are women after all and are sensitive to the other one's feelings and actually feel bad for making the other one cry.
AAhhhhhhm. Stop.
They hug. They become best friends forever.
That's how we did it in Brooklyn anyway.
(I think I have a steamer trunk here I don't want to clean...)

Well, Nycyn, you've dashed my hopes. Go ahead and sell the dam thing. I just wanted to see it put to good use....That's all.

nycyn, I have read your posts, and I know you want to get away. Anytime you want to head California way, let me know. I do have an apartment complex that I manage, but rentals here are rare since we are the only ones locally that allow pets. I dont know what you do for a living, but if you DO decide to head west, holler. If I have anything available or coming up, I will let ya know. However, be forewarned that Diablo Nuke plant is about 10 miles from me (as the crow flies).
