I am that way with my mom. I don't know if the appliance repair will come off bossy. My mom is a Gretchen Ruben Rebel, so attempts to do things for her are sometimes meant with negativity because you are telling her what to do. Still no Aidan as well. He may get a gift card- I just believe in $$$ for birthdays and presents for Christmas
I got my pink sofa delivered today. It is so cute I am still looking for some sort of service that will pick up a pre-ordered refrigerator from Home Depor, and bring to me and take it up my twisty turns stairs. Home Depot delivers only to your door! And they have the fridge I want.
I am trying to decide if I want to move the sofa it to the living room. Many years ago I moved my bed to the living room so it would be under the ceiling fan in summer and near the heat in winter, but it occurs to me that if I have people over, that is weird. Please let us go into the cold/hot alcove to site and talk, or sit on my bed with me! If I move the bed to the alcove, I could have one of those beaded curtains, which I am sure Petunia would love! I am also realizing that without the stuff, this is really a lot of space for just me. But the location is great( and walkableand busable, which is hard to get in Rochester), the rent is insanely cheap, and there aren't many studios in Rochester that aren't in complexes and I hate complexes. The only people who are over have been Sylvia and Aidan so far, and Maria quickly. But I have the porch and a whole extra library craft room, plus the alcove off the living room, a giant kitchen, a hallway and a bathroom. (And the giant living room, which right now has a bookshelf, a sofa, a bed, a buffet/dresser and an end table and still looks a little empty.
I have updated the addresses to the best of my ability with the information I have available to me, and that only took two hours because ltc is being a gem today. Dave will apply the labels and assemble the cards tonight while I wrap gifts. I still have a few more things to buy, but they require me to actually be able to leave the house.
Sophia I would move bed out of the living room only if you really plan to have people over. I'd worry about the car destroying the beaded curtain.
Where did you get the sofa from?
Lisa I wasn't familiar with that either, found this: [link]
I was going to post this, from Forbes: Rebels want freedom to do something their own way.
Questioners" question all expectations; they'll meet an expectation if they think it makes sense and meets their own inner standards — so they follow only inner expectations. This is a link to the quiz. [link] I am a questioner, who leans toward Obliger.
Msbelle, you reinforced my instincts. The bed is in the right spot for me, even if it isn't in the socially approved spot
If you like it there, leave it there, sure. I was going to advise moving furniture around just because you can, you can always move it back, but that's me and my novelty seeking.
Maybe make the alcove cozier and more welcoming for entertaining, instead?

Sounds like ltc.
Seconding -t, if you have people willing to help you move furniture, move stuff around and see what works.
I should start wrapping, but I have everything set up in the dining room, and if I go in there, ltc is going to interrupt me every five seconds.
Yes, ltc, my mother, and maybe msbelle's mac. It is anecdotal and not evidence based, but it was helpful tome as a questioner. Because I love to meet expectations, but if the expectations are stupid tome, ai am just like F it! Like, why do I need to make my bed if I am going to unmake it to get in it at night!
The problem with the alcove is that my "central heat" is literally One heat run in my living room/hall and so the alcove is freezing. But I can have Aidan help me move things around, and then back the next week for this years, so I maybe should take advantage.

ltc definitely gets these tendencies from me, but I would just quietly ignore people and not do what they wanted me to. I was not a confrontational child.
