Members t3ch Posted December 1, 2008 Members Share Posted December 1, 2008 This is the same girl from the "dating someone with a kid" thread. I freaked out (bigtime) for a few weeks when she moved back, and now I'm good. She's always been the one, so it's nice to be back to Earth. Anyways, I need advice on appliances more than anything, we get along fine We both currently live with roommates so we're acclimated to living with others, and we get along perfectly. In the two years we've known each other/dated we've been in maybe two fights, and we see eye to eye on just about everything. We already split most costs (gas/food/etc), so money won't be an issue. But if anyone has any tidbits of advice I'm open ears. We are going to have to basically furnish the entire house. Dining table, coffee table, end tables, artwork, microwave, blender, vacuum, etc. Anyone have any recommendations for websites and/or models of stuff they have? I know we're going to get a Dyson vacuum (I can get a new one for about $150), but other than that I'm not sure of where/what to buy. We don't have a ton to spend on furniture and this will be a months long process, so we have time to research and look around first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JacieFB Posted December 1, 2008 Members Share Posted December 1, 2008 Clean the head. Clean it 2 times a week or more, if necessary. Don't be the first to fart out loud or in a situation where the smell will be uncomfortable for anyone. Grocery shop together. Cook, eat meals, and clean up together. Keep pron on an external, password-protected hard drive. What am I missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members t3ch Posted December 1, 2008 Author Members Share Posted December 1, 2008 For anyone looking, here are some good resources I've found so far... http://www.coffeetablesgalore.com/http://www.gowfb.com/http://www.art.com/ I think another one is, http://www.diningtables.com , but I'm not 100% and don't have too much time to poke around it.

Members dDigitalPimp Posted December 1, 2008 Members Share Posted December 1, 2008 there is always some half decent furniture at the salvation army. i had a sal-val couch at my college apartment that was not the worst. maybe get a cheap end table or coffee table there too. you can buy a slip cover for the couch and do a refinish on any wooden furniture to make it look nicer. check the newspaper for cheap appliances maybe?

Members RSBro Posted December 1, 2008 Members Share Posted December 1, 2008 There's crazy good deals for furniture on Craiglist ma' friend. Most of it is in excellent shape too. As long as you're willing to come get it, they'll deal. I'll probably get my new sectional off of there. I've found huge 7-8 person Lay-Z-Boy sectionals less than a year old for under half of what they are new. I usually don't care for secondhand clothing, but with furniture, as long as it looks good and no major damage, I'm all there! I bought my current one new from Macy's for a steal, and now I know why the price was so low! I'd rather have something quality secondhand than cheapo brand new, at close to the same price.

We already plan to get Sams memberships so we can shop/cook together (we both love cooking). Pron = already done, but rather in hidden password protected folder ().

I hope it's different for you, but be vigilant because it can happen to you. You'll be amazed at how infrequently it even occurs to the two of you to get it done. You just wake up one day thinking, what the hell happened? I used to get laid all the time, now I can't remember the last time. I, of course, have heard this from my friends.

Members RSBro Posted December 1, 2008 Members Share Posted December 1, 2008 There have actually been nights where I've layed down to go to sleep, only to be gropified awake. "FINE I guess I'll sex you up". She doesn't take much to get going either. Man I love my woman Man I use'ta have one of those... Best physical relationship by a damn longshot ever. Too bad nothing else even came close to working. It was hot at the beginning b/c I worked with her, and nobody at work knew we were together so we had to play it off. It got better at the end, but I was stupid and fucked the whole dealio up. Still regret it to this day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dDigitalPimp Posted December 1, 2008 Members Share Posted December 1, 2008 question: how often does everyone here use a blender? i mean, my gf and i have one in the house but she maybe used it twice for frozen drinks and ive never used it.

Members Crescent Seven Posted December 1, 2008 Members Share Posted December 1, 2008 One bit of advice I can give is, if you want to truly be happy with your house, let her furnish it. Let her pick out the couch. Let her pick out the appliances. Seriously. She'll act like she doesn't care until you hang up your gigantic Jimi Hendrix poster in the living room. She'll be "fine with whatever" couch you choose, until you bring one home that doesn't match the drapes. She won't care what toaster you buy until her favorite bagels don't fit. She won't give two shits about the vacuum because you're buying a Dyson. Don't tell my wife you can get one for $150! Even if you do all of the shopping for the accessories, make sure you let her decide. Otherwise you'll endure non stop griping about them, and you'll end up buying them twice. Trust me.
