Four strikes and you're out!

Not a baseball game since that would be just silly; everyone knows its three.
Nah trying hard to find a home for our sofa and two recliners being gifted.
True they are not in great shape, I even confessed to how they actually are here last night.
But Hubby and I thought perhaps one of the local Habitat for Humanity, Good Will, Salvation Army or VA thrift shops could recondition them?
None would take them due to our honest description; I suppose they would have if I lied? But if they were in great condition why would I be getting rid of them, I ask you?
Even at first our local Waste Management, garbage/trash collection, said to make an appointment for pick up and since we have not used our three free ones for the year it would be at no cost to us, but it will be within the next ten days, gee thanks.
Hubby made that call and knew something was askew since he has noticed our neighbors all over here having their unwanted larger items being picked up weekly on any Wednesday the truck has been coming through then and he called the person on that inconsistency!
Next move was to ask to speak to their supervisor, and even then they said that person would have to call him back and she did a few hours later; surprise.
She verified Hubby was correct and there was no problem putting our items out for pickup.
Our local number goes to Lakeland, their main office, which he called back after and Hubby let them know what happened with the first person who basically called him a liar. They apologized and asked if she could use the instance in training and he said that was a good idea. Hubby felt they should be aware that each area is different for them, not one size fits all mentality.

So there is our most recent dilemma, and so if you see our set out there it is only because the delivery people helped put them there when they had to be gone for our new ones to fit in their old places, got that?
Although, we discussed putting them in the garage until Wednesday, but that means our car would be out and we are not sure if we want to do that so, we will see what we will see. Plus Hubby would have to put them out and they are quite cumbersome although he does have the right equipment to do it with, again it's a fifty/fifty decision. If they do go out sometimes junk collectors scavenge the neighborhood looking for stuff and maybe they will take them?  

That's our day in a nutshell, although I have not missed one day in our pool since last Saturday and my pains are diminishing daily but sadly not at night, baffling? Hubby kindly vacuumed and washed all floors! What a guy!

On that slightly mysterious note allow me to be the very first to wish you all a very happy good night and ask you all to kindly count all your blessings and share all your overages with you know whom and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
