small cancer causing particles that lodge in your lungs. in libby they found the smokers got way the worst of it. lawyers got richer, the company w.r. grace gave huge money to its execs. then went bankrupt and let us the govt. step in and pay for most of the clean up.

even long before this there was lots of asbestos claims and suits and everyone should have known it was bad. but greed and peoples desire to look away when they have a job that pays decently dooms them all.

I wish I knew what happened to that thing under the couch (fake safety deposit box that GTA4 special edition came in). It was the GOAT weed box. Had some wild times with S in that apartment.

Reading through this thread is a joy. See, in particular, Katy's response to Landonfan passing off a pile of clothes as furniture.

It's a classic. Good times. Weed box under couch is also hard to beat.

why not just put it in a drawer.

Bad advice from the both of you. I want to see a pizza pan under there with the joker from a Bicycle deck. Sinsemilla is breeding a nation of sluggards.

i was not endorsing using that stuff. as we know it turns to addiction and violet criminal behovior. last year alone 43,000 people died fighting over who gets the cheetos.

Lid...

Yep

ok so to update you...

We got the house (after a few hiccups) and have been over there a few times walking around in shock that we actually own another house! What were we thinking? We are not wealthy people.

mrseagull decided to move our gigantic sectional over to the new house after telling me I could design it any way I like. Well so much for my clean modern classic design and sleek furniture. Lol. So now in the main living room there is this HUGE sectional sofa. And I mean huge. It changes the whole look of things. We bought an area rug, a low profile TV stand and a glass coffee table with sort of a retro looking base. I still have a couple rooms to figure out. I need lamps and art work. I'm still going to design my study and am looking for a cool desk and a comfortable fabric arm chair.

Rugs are a dilemma. I don't know if I should go modern or get classic oriental rugs. I don't like covering up too much of the hardwood floors but my dog is a maniac. He is 100 lbs of rambunctious clown and likes to race around the house as if he is chasing a squirrel. I need to put something down to protect the floors or I will be pissed off at him.


Turns out I would rather decorate the new place then pack up boxes and clean out my old house. Go figure.

Are you guys actually discussing where to store the weed in the living room?

Is there another room where that sectional could live if you wanted somethingore aesthetic in the main living room?

The sectional is 12' long on one side. Can you imagine? I wanted to throw it out the minute we set it up in the old house. It's massive. Lol. Not sure I can find another place for it. I may have to focus my design skills on other rooms of the house.

12' long is huge, you would need almost a perfect living room layout for it to fit.

There are more modern styled places but I can't think of their names.

Just look at their room ideas, she if you like their color schemes and get ideas from that.

edit- I remember my old fat roommate busted a spring in my comfortable couch and he got a sectional from a friend, it was 11', he was telling me it's the same size but he didn't understand that included my end table, I had to get rid of end table because we could walk past. I was like where am I supposed to put my fvcking drink?

Katy,

congrats! that sectional is too big.

try not to buy particle board furniture.

I've got one of those sectionals where one side is 12'+ and the other is about 8'+... seemed like a good idea at the time.
The thing is so big it will easily sleep three grown adults.
Whats worse is the way its designed, it's nearly impossible to sit conventionally for longer than 30-40 minutes because the actual seating part is super wide.. good if you're over 6'3"... better for laying down.
I wish I didnt get it... even though its beautifully made.

Mine also seemed like a good idea at the time. Until we got it in the door.

Yep, it will sleep 3 grown adults. Lol.

Yes, that discussion happened.


Anyhow. I do like sectionals.

i just bought two new short couches, love seats is that what you call them. this way i cant lay down and fall asleep there. plus for me they are more comfortable.

Also one of my favorite NHL players is named Havelid. The sports announcers used to have fun with this one.

Getting set up in my new place.
Coffee table / tv stand / ottoman doesn't arrive until next week.

Is that a sheet metal building over wood framing? Love the look and the blinds; gives the place the impeccable ambience of a Mickey Spillane novel. Did you check for blood stains before moving in?

From a first look: The TV is too big (you need to hang it from the ceiling using thin steel cable or fishing line), the computer too sophisticated, the lounge chair is too formal, the bed actually looks comfortable, and the wood floor (is it tacky laydown glue veneer stuff?) is a big surprise - concrete or plywood would be a better fit.

Was going to comment on the roll of paper towels by the table but then thought it best to just let it go. Graffiti artwork would brighten up the place, get some spray paint and go to town.

Is there really such a thing as a TV that is too big?????
