Another strange posting! I can't even picture what the poster is describing due to poor spelling and grammar.

Good heavens! I see what you mean. With no picture I can't begin to guess. Why don't they donate them for heaven's sake!

Sorry, I just can't help myself. One more time.

I've become obsessed with this idiot who keeps posting his furniture. For the life of me, I just can't understand.

This has been going on for many moons.

This one has it all: rot iron, chester drawers, lots of helpful ideas for fixing up all the broken pieces, even the reason she is selling her stuff. You really feel like you know her by the time you read to the end. Here is a link that might be useful: She must be blonde LOL

I figured they wanted $150, but even that's way too much. At least the coffee table looks nice and safe in someone's LR, but where's that sofa being kept -- someone's basement? Outdoors? What a pretty EA table, but there must be an extra zero on both numbers they quote. Thank you for letting me indulge; just had to share when I saw it!

My brain hurts trying to figure out what it is - It's 1' x 4', uncomfortable, & they needed it for the father before he got arrested?

The possibilities are nearly endless....& yet I can't really think of a single thing.

ROFL'ing!!!!

I honestly think this was listed as a joke. I don't think anyone could post something that scattered and silly for real.

"They let these people vote??"

How do we know they are not running for office? Or already in office?

If he keeps posting, maybe it's code for drugs.

I think the now imprisoned nutso father actually made a STAND to hold up (the shelf) with 2 different attachments to be used to stretch out the newspaper - so it could be more easily, more comfortably, at seated knee-level, be read while enthroned.

I picture a knee high tv stand-like contraption with wooden slats on either top side to hold/clamp down the open ends of the newspaper. Heaven knows it's so crass to, uhm, well...it's nigh impossible to do your business in any sort of refined manner while also stretching out your arms and shaking the darn paper to make it stay open! Especially if the room is narrow (elbow bumping & thumping while throne reading would simply not be tasteful).

My interpretation of the ad:

"MY father, who is NUTS, built these items for our bathroom, which we don't NEED anymore, because thankfully he got arrested.

He built a shelf that is lopsided ( but good for scrap) and two newspaper stretchers. The (1st) newspaper stretcher is 4 feet by 1foot wide and is made of cardboard and some maple wood. Could be used for scrap.

I don't even know where to begin with the other stretcher, its so uncomfortable to use. But it could be used for scrap plastic. It's mostly plastic, with bits of wood and a carpet bagging. Thanks! "

What carpet bagging is, I don't want to know (but omg, did dear ol' crazy dad DECORATE the stretcher with a TEXTILE BAG?!) .

What's really scary to me is that this ad brought forth buried memories of my father grabbing the newspaper off the kitchen table and loudly announcing to anyone in the vicinity, "I'll be in the bathroom."
