Sophia, if it's just getting the sofa out of the house, I'd pay people you know like ten bucks each. It's only going to take a couple of minutes, right?

I was thinking 20 each because the my house is not near campus and it will be a bitch to remove because I am on the second floor, and there is a staircase turn as well as some real maneuvering to get it out my front door and out to the porch. Where there are more stairs. So maybe $15 each? THen I have to gear myself up to ask and figure out when the best time to do it would be. I have already thrown out the cushions, which is where the worst of the pee was.
Is there a window you can toss it out?
Don't put it out on the curb now, Sophia, unless you think it will get taken away. Some cities will ding you for leaving trash on the curb for too long.
If it's a student, I would ask him to do it in turn for 1st pick over you books and hey, some beer.
ION, I just found cat poo on the floor of the basement, AGAIN! This time it was about a foot away from a clean and empty litter box. I am not a happy camper.
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) -- Last month was Illinois' coldest July since 1924.
Preliminary data gathered by researchers at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign shows the average temperature last month was 70.4 degrees. That's 5.3 degrees below normal.
Climatologist Jim Angel says the previous record, set 85 years ago, was 71.5 degrees.
Angel says most parts of the state haven't had any days with temperatures in the 90s. Usually there are at least five days that hot.
Weird.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEENA!!!!
Sophia, I vote Craigs List the puppy. "Free if you come and get it". It could work quickly. It could DEFFINATELY work quickly come September.
Oh, wait, missed the cushion and pee part. Nebbermind. You could maybe still do it for the entertainment center.
I know. My dilemma is that landlord is coming tomorrow to install new windows. The sofa is right in front of a window (and there is no place to put it that isn't) The sofa is peed on. So I don't want to get in trouble with the landlord. I have cleaned almost everything else up, but this and a really broken entertainment center (which I think I can break down with a hammer and put in the garbage.
I REALLY wish I had a Sawzall! I could just chop it into little pieces that my friend M. and I can carry!
Sophia, whoever does trash pickup in your area should have a policy for large item pickup -- in some places, you can do a certain number of items on your normal trash day, in others, it's only on certain days, or you can call them to let them know you have something. (In some places, they won't do it at curbside, but at least then you know to call in favors from whichever coworker has a truck before you get dinged for it.)
eta: missed the landlord complication. Would a sawzall sent through the interpipes help?
Thanks for the help, Barb. I'll see where it'll get me.
My google says that quote's not Talmud, but Anaïs Nin
My Google says both (with some advantage to the Talmud)! Could my Google be schizophrenic?
