on my Craigs List

14 years ago

Ok, so I know I'm often complaining there is never neat FREE stuff on my Craigslist. Tons of moving boxes, dirt, gravel, and just no neat GJ stuff being given away. I check every night and see same kind of stuff listed. Well tonight I saw something different. LOL. I'm guessing one of you could probably make a grand planter with it. LOL.

"UNCLE SEYMOUR IS NO MORE, DECIDED TO CREMATE HIM INSTEAD. USED CASKET, A LITTLE BIT SMELLY BUT SPRAY SOME FEBREEZE AND IT'S LIKE NEW"

hugs, Karen

What a fabulous deal!! Here's my story: I bought my Hale golden oak unit in the 1970's from a lawyers office that was closing. Beautiful condition. It's six stacks tall plus the legs and top peice, which in my current house nearly touches the ceiling! (They look great no matter what you display - books, china, collectables)...BUT it took me years to get over the fact that I didn't buy at least one other stack of six when I arrived first in response to the ad. (there were four sets available) What was I thinking? I guess maybe at the time I didn't have another $50.00??? Anyway I've never ever seen a decent set since for anything under $300-400, and often much more in lovely shape like yours. Enjoy!!

That will get flagged pretty quick, I wonder how long it will remain up before CL removes it. Pretty funny tho. I remember that ad Parma, you posted that way back didn't you? I can't believe he's still holding to his price. And the furniture isn't even in pristing condition. Maybe you should forward Brutuses link to him!! He sounds like the guy who was selling his house around the corner from my house. In his warped mind he saw nothing wrong with putting a house on the market with so much hoarded krap in the rooms you could barely walk through them. These people in they're own little worlds, oblivious to everything else.

OK, so I went over to this girls apartment and decided to buy the sofa. She pointed out the free TV that was also listed in the ad. I had planned to decline the TV, because I thought it would be rather ancient with antenna's. Surprisingly, it was a nice looking 26" with a very good picture. Not a flat screen, but a very nice extra TV for a den or basement room. When we were taking the TV off of the stand, the girl said, "oh, you can have that too"...the TV stand...WOW! So, for $50, we got a couch, a TV and a piece of furniture. Here is the loot. I cleaned the cushions and have them off airing. They were not dirty, but I just felt better doing it. See the full sofa in the Target link. Here is a link that might be useful: Target Sofa

Here's my latest CL chair

brutuses - my3dogs came to mind for me, also! lol At first my husband was interested in putting the chairs in our study, until he saw the style. He is like my3dogs sister and didn't like the tufted look. I sent the seller an email last night and asked if the chairs are real leather (or vinyl) and how old they are. Have not heard back. There was a phone number, but it was too late to call. I am sure I was not the first person to try and contact the seller. If I do hear from her, I am going to use some advice i have found on this board, and offer less. It would be great to get each chair for $25.

LOLOLLOLOL. Chelcass immediately had it recycled. Love it. I use to tell my Hubs to put me in a (biodegradeable) refrigerator box when I die. Then I decided that I could avoid the worm feast composting if I got turned into ashes. Those ashes could go in my rose garden. VOILA, "Susieisroses"! : )

Susie, your ashes would probably kill the roses, at least my GF put her DH around 4 of them & they all died! Can't you just see the lovely trailing plants,wave petunias would be great flowing out of that coffin!!Might be a real conversation piece & attract all kinds of attention-wanted & maybe not so wanted(cops), or you could make a water feature in it, bet fish would love it!! Hot as Phoenix is might want to use it for a pool!! Jan

Oh the pool idea is a hoot!!! I would like to save it for later when our time comes, My Dh and I have discussed it and we decided that which ever of us goes first will be dusted and tucked under the others arm so we can be together....LOL This could be temporarily used in the garden maybe for storage of shovels, hoes, rakes and such stand it on end ya know (, the plots are paid for....Now all we need is a somewhere to store the other one until.....Oh, I have plenty of vases (Currently Totems) to use for my dust...LOL I particularly like the Cobalt need to be sure and Let him know! Hmmmmm LOL

Jan- I have consumed enough sugar in my life to suspect that my ashes will be just like the crumbs at the bottom of a box of Lucky Charms Sugar Puffs. So it will be my luck that the ants will end up eating my ashes. LOLOL

Jan, the pool might be a good idea. Its 115 this week and we're under excessive heat warnings. (Gee, imagine that...July on Phoenix. Duh!)

I'm thinking it would make a really neat pond. But I'd need a heck of a lot of family support to bring a casket home. Somehow I don't see that happening. LOL.
This would probably just push them all over the edge.

Karen, Just call the people up & tell them "guy that needs it can't come & get it, he's dead!" do you deliver??? That should shake them up!! OK, I had college friend that's dad made coffins!(It was a happy home to visit, I stayed there over Thanksgiving!) Then I dated a guy that worked at a funeral home,that didn't last, he was way too morbid for me!! Back to coffin, just think how "restful" a bunch of fish in it would be with some nice water lilies floating on top, deep enough that cats wouldn't be eating all the fish!! Make a great home for them!! Jan

What happened with the casket? That would be a hoot to have in the garden! I love the idea that ncshabbybeach has too. (-:

How weird is that? That is too funny. A little too morbid for my tastes but it would make a great conversation piece. lol
