Yeah!!! I just a couple of more hours I get to see my Furniture!!!

 I get to go the the warehouse where the program I am in stores the furniture and household stuff at. They want to make sure it is to my liking.
 
This is actually for my mental state. The idea is to make sure I feel that this will be my home. This is all part of the grounding part of my Therapy. I am to let them know, without worry, if I don't like something.
 
This is very new and very odd to me. But yet I am giddy!!

11. Thank you!
I start some classes ( just therapeutic art classes) next Thursday too!

I am so HAPPY!
Of course she is happy.  Free stuff.  But the 'thank you' should be directed toward the tax payers who foot the bill, not other DUmmies whose only contribution is a vibe or a folded hand photo.

I think she's making it all up.

About the closest Amber's coming on this furniture bit is the way Catholic Charities did it in Lincoln years ago--a bunch of donated furniture in a warehouse, and the truck driver who delivered the goods decided what he was willing to haul where. 

If all these wonderful freebies were truly available in Tucson, all the homeless people in America would flock there.

She's making it all up.

In the beginning I believed a lot of her stuff, but as she continues to gush giddiness, it becomes more like fantasy than reality - so, I think you're right.

I'm coming to that same conclusion.

What makes it so great is you don't even have to be a Tucson or Arizona resident.

You just roll off the Greyhound, wait a few weeks, and free stuff starts piling up like magic.

Arizona is a red state, but apparently it's a democrat dream.

Maybe that's why so many mexicans are flooding across the border - they're all getting free furnished apartments, free stocked refrigerators, and free make-work jobs in Tucson. All they have to do is wait a few weeks and get a cat.

I guess all the mexicans spreading mulch around here are Hondurans or Guatemalans or Panamanians or something. Mexicans live the high life in Tucson.

I'm surprised Amber's loving sisters haven't left Joplin to join her in Tucson.

I would tell them: upgrade the 28 incher to at least 50 and toss in a wine rack (fully stocked of course ) or NO DEAL!

A 28" flat screen?  That's a computer monitor, not a television.

Yes, it is a double wide.

They were actually quite common back the day of tube based TV's.  Actually 28 inch screen was considered rather large, since the largest offered was 36" back in say, 1996 or so.


....er....guess I'm showing my age....!

I remember 13" televisons were in most bedrooms and they were mainly black and white, 19" for living rooms unless you really went all out and bought a 25" console television. I remember my parents paying over $400 for a 19" television and they still had to purchase a stand for it. That sucker was heavy! No remote. We are truly spoiled today. I currently own 7 televisions and #8 is on the way.

It happens.  I was talking with some young people the other day in the gym about computers, and how little I know about them.  Then the topic moved to TVs.  I mistakenly said that it didn't seem that long ago that one could remove a tube from a TV, and use the tube tester in Walgreen's or 7-11, and if bad, could buy a new one to replace it.

The young man actually said, quietly, "Dude."

From a geological perspective that was just yesterday, from a human perspective that was eons ago.

Never took just one tube.  Took them all.
Can't tell good from bad by just looking at them.

Dude, I still have an Eico tube tester I built in the 70s.

No, she's getting all of this.  Really.  At least she thinks she is getting all of this.

Maybe Amber is in the last stages of starvation and is hallucinating. 


Never mind, With her added weight it would take a long time to reach that stage.

Apparently so. She didn't have that much mind to start with.

I wonder if Amber has let her sisters k ow she is OK, and probably living better than both of them over here in Joplin.

Amber hasn't been in contact with them. Crystal Naydean and Annette are both working minimum wage jobs, living in trailers.

If they knew all the free stuff Tucson gives away to out-of-state deadbeats, they would already be on a Greyhound to the Great  Southwest.

Exactly. 

I don't understand why they're staying up here, when their sister is living the good life in Tucson.  Amber has furniture that is no doubt nicer than anything that Crystal and Annette are going to get their paws on, free housing with real wood floors, and a job at a coffee shop that patronizes to a more sophisticated clientele than you'd expect to run into at either of her sister's places of employment.  I'll also bet neither of her sisters hob-knob with anyone who can afford to invite them to tool around enjoying the sights and sounds of Joplin.

The good life.  It's all happening in Tucson.
