Cheap or free furniture.

My wife and I are hopefully buying a place soon and we don't really actually have any furniture, so any resources for cheap or free stuff to use to pad out the future house would be great.

4am walkies!

"you gotta go out?" Doesn't move. "You gotta go potty." Not the slightest reaction from where she's cuddled up. "You wanna-" jumps up and stomps all over my wife while whining because I don't have my shoes on yet, she doesn't have her harness, and how dare I be so unprepared.

Not receiving mail Millwood.

Anyone else having an issue of missing mail despite Informed Delivery?

My wife and I were expecting 2 pieces of mail and though informed delivery said both were due in today, only hers showed up in our mailbox.

I don't wanna be that guy that goes ranting and raving at the post office but damn if you say it's gonna be here I expect it to show up.

Girl I'm just trying to sweep.

She doesn't like this broom for some reason, doesn't care about the ones inside.

Tell me if I'm crazy.

A few things I read recommended 20 minutes per pound for a pork shoulder, so for this 9.65 should be 3 hours 22 minutes?

Thanks for the input y'all, I'm pretty new to using this thing!

Tell me your stories! Of the crazy shit and accidents you've seen in the night.

Since I'm asking I'll go first.

​

My first job was at an iron foundry at the ripe age of 18, pushing a bull ladle full of 2800⁰ iron from the furnaces to the mold pourers. It's paid just over $13/h in 2012.

​

All things said it was pretty easy, walk back and forth with the ladle, fill it up, empty it out. 12h shifts, 364 days a year.

​

I worked the north line, the molds after cooling went through shaker tables until they reached a huge rolling drum, it was about 10 feet tall and 20ish long, weighing upwards of 20000lbs. It's whole purpose was to break the parts free of their sprues and whatever bits of sand was left.

​

The drum was held in place by a control arm across the top. Well one day that arm broke.

​

There was a HUGE bang and crash and then the world went black, in that moment I thought I was dead, I couldn't see, couldn't breath, couldn't hear shit. It took a solid minute for the molding sand to start to settle out of the air. The control arm had broken, the drum hopped up off its roller and made its way through a roof support beam and out the wall to roll down the hill into the forest. It thankfully didn't roll back towards the floor *otherwise I would be dead* and it didn't roll towards the highway.

​

It only shut the north line down for about 6 hours, I got to see the biggest dumbest forklift in my life that day with a shit ton of chains drag the drum back out of the forest and back through the hole.

​

I've seen plenty of other smaller shit, but that was the closest I've been to dying to something completely out of my control.
