Dumpster Diving

Probably half the stuff in my apartment came out of the apartment complex’s dumpsters. It's absolutely amazing to me what folks throw in the trash.

And I come by Dumpster Diving in a legitimate fashion, my Gramps was always going through the neighbors garbage. The lawn chair he was sitting in the night he died came from someone's discards (he loved that old chair).

But, I don't know about today's find.

I went to a neighbors to drop something off, and right there, sitting by a dumpster, was a rocker/recliner! And, other than being very dirty, it looked sound.

Since I've been looking for SOMETHING to sit in (other than my wheelchair or hospital bed) for months, I jumped on the chance. I had a couple of neighbors install it in my living room, and had them take the huge hide-a-bed couch that I found at a dumpster a few months ago, out.

(I can’t even imagine what it must be like to pick out furniture you’d want, that would fit your room/needs, and buy it, new!)

I threw an old sheet over the recliner, and transferred into it. Pretty good! It had a slight list to the left, but not bad. But after sitting there for a few minutes, I became aware of the smell! Really, really, bad.

I'd been planning to get upholstery cleaner, fabreeze, and a new 'cover'. But I'm wondering now if it's worth it, that recliner smells so bad, I don't know if it would 'clean up'. I might be wasting my money. Does anyone have any hints for cleaning upholstery???

OTOH, I really do need stuff to SIT on (Now the only seating in my living room is the chair. Before there was the nice looking couch that guests could use, but I couldn't, and it took up the whole room!). A quandary for sure...

    "BREAKING NEWS"
    ===============

    -Energy and Asset Technology, Inc. (EGTY) owns a global license to market
    the genetically enhanced Global Cedar growth trees, with plans to
    REVOLUTIONIZE the forest-timber industry.

    These newly enhanced Global Cedar trees require only 9-12 years of growth before they can
    be harvested for lumber, whereas worldwide growth time for lumber is 30-50 years.

    Other than growing at an astonishing rate, the Global Cedar has a number of other benefits.
    Its natural elements make it resistant to termites, and the lack of oils and sap found in the wood
    make it resistant to forest fire, ensuring higher returns on investments.

    the wood is very lightweight and strong, lighter than Poplar and over twice
    as strong as Balsa, which makes it great for construction. It also has
    the unique ability to regrow itself from the stump, minimizing the land and
    time to replant and develop new root systems.

    Based on current resources and agreements, EGTY projects revenues of $140 Million
    with an approximate profit margin of 40% for each 9-year cycle. With anticipated
    growth, EGTY is expected to challenge Deltic Timber Corp. during its initial 9-year cycle.

    Deltic Timber Corp. currently trades at over $38.00 a share with about $153 Million in revenues.
    As the reputation and demand for the Global Cedar tree continues to grow around the world
    EGTY believes additional multi-million dollar agreements will be forthcoming. The Global Cedar nursery has produced
    about 100,000 infant plants and is developing a production growth target of 250,000 infant plants per month.

    Energy and Asset Technology is currently in negotiations with land and business owners in New Zealand,
    Greece and Malaysia regarding the purchase of their popular and profitable fast growing infant tree plants.
    Inquiries from the governments of Brazil and Ecuador are also being evaluated.

    known Companies That Explode onto Investor�s Radar Screens.
