I'm completely speechless... Someone replied to my ad about items I need for my my place. I wasn't expecting much of a reply as my ad had quite the list of things that I really needed & a few things that I would just like.
A lovely man replied to my ad today & said he had a lot of the items on my list & said I would need to come over to check everything out.
So I went over & my goodness all the stuff he has. He collects everything, so he can give to the needy. He does a lot for soup kitchens, nursing homes, shelters, poor childern needing computers & everyday people. I was there for 2 hours talking to him & going through things with him.
I didn't want to ask for much stuff, as it makes me feel greedy, I think he saw that & said I know you need more things so here, take this, this this this & so onHe kept saying are you sure thats all you need? OH I have that too!!! Hmmmm that sounds like its poor quality, here this one works perfectly! Hmmmm do you like plants? Heres one of my fav vines, she needs a lot of sun & she needs to come into the house for the winter. Heres a cute little one & heres a nice hanging one.
Lets just say he filled my car with stuff I really needed or wanted. I'm so happy!!!!! I have just about everything.. He sent me an email saying he forgot about the pots & pans & a few other things on my list, so I need to go back later on
Heres a list of the wonderful things he gave me.
- 20" TV with VCR from 1999 with bran new picture tube (he installed it).

I was in a crazy good mood moving all my new stuff into my place. I saw the lady super & we talked... SHe was thrilled I got some really nice things. I said ya & I plan on looking at those 2 green chairs near the trash to see if they are any good. Turns out they are the 2 chairs from the laundry room & she tossed them out!! SHe said they are really good chairs, but since the floors have just been redone, we wanted new chairs for in there... She said people only sit on them while they do their laundry, so no animals have been on them & no sloppy kids... So I took them both... They are REALLY nice comfy chairs!!! Remember that nice green nitted blanket the old guy gave me? Well I put that on the chair that has a tiny rip at the top, The greens match perfectly & just WOW!
Here are some pictures of my new place.. Its still a mess as I'm trying to see where I like things. So please bare with the mess for now hehe... I didn't take any photos of the balcony as its dark out. I will later & will take photos of my cool plants!
