Gulp. I don't think I ever left the 90's, LOL! I'd be very happy in many of those rooms. Some of them seem much more comfortable to me than the current trends. I just can't embrace the ikat, zigzag, etc trends that are going strong right now. Skirted table? I've got one of those too. I figure it was very inexpensive, and a good place holder until I find something I like better. And it hides a large, unsightly toy or two under it's skirt. :-) 3 of the rooms in our house had the faux walls when we bought it. I've repainted one of the rooms a solid pale blue (still love pastels) and it feels sooo much better. I'm looking forward to the day when I get the chance to paint the other two rooms. Faux was pretty back then; it also worked well with our old plaster walls, I suppose. But now, no thanks.

Elmer out of curiosity, I took another look at your original post. This is the original and first sentence: The source of this message is who or what? Now I can't speak for anyone else here, but that does not clearly state that it is foolish to rely on sources such as FB for information. It's actually a question, not a statement. The rest of the original post consists of this: I'm sure the companies sending these guys out to work long shifts for such critical work in devastated areas are giving high priority to covering their food and water needs. This statement has nothing to do with FB posts and whether or not they are reliable sources of information. What it does do is make a statement about something that many here (some of whom have just survived harrowing experiences with Hurricanes Harvey and Irma) are experiencing first hand. Many of the resulting comments seemed to be in response to that second sentence and some of them objected to or rejected your comment as inaccurate. It was later that you left a second post that clarified your position on FB posts, but by then the horse was out of the barn and people were more focused on the issue of helping utility workers and other responders by offering them food and drink. Had your first comment been more clear in regards to FB, I think you very well would have seen different responses from many of the people who posted. I also think it's a good idea to keep in mind that this is a hot button for people who are just barely getting by themselves after these two horrendous storms and perfectly understandable why they feel so strongly about the issue. It is also rather dismissive to imply that people who are dealing with the aftermath of these two storms don't know what they are talking about when they witness daily the actions of utility workers, police, first responders and volunteers. Having said all that, I am done with this thread. There is no point in my making any further statements as I have said what I have to say and I don't wish to argue or make this anymore unpleasant that it's already become. Kathy had the best of intentions by starting this thread and I'm pretty sure that she did not expect to see it deteriorate into what it has now become.

Bpath, that does sound nice--although of course the downside is the smaller exposure a listing gets when posted to a limited audience. I have several items listed on both Facebook and Craigslist. The Facebook listings are on the general Marketplace plus one for my county and one for a neighboring county. I get more nuisance emails from the FB listings than I do from Craigslist, although Craigslist makes me more aware of possible scams. I got an email yesterday via Craigslist that said, "Good morning. I saw your item for sale. Will you be around today?" Except for the "good morning" part, it sounded very much like a scam email to me, and I almost didn't respond to it. But I'm glad I did, because he was a legit buyer who was happy to get something I was very happy to sell. I met up with him in the afternoon, and it was the most pleasant transaction I've had lately. I have an appointment with another Craigslist buyer this week.

Most people here are pretty good with measurements, but it's not often you seen it right on the photo! It's so crazy not to include measurements, imo, because 90% of inquiries must ask about it!. So I guess FBM has it's own category of furniture--an upholstered chair can be a sofa, or as Sue pointed a regular chair is a "sitting chair". Guess you could flop out on the "small sofa" type chairs, lol.
