I like to be able to sit on a sofa in the evening for a room service meal or just to unwind before bedtime. That's much better from a nice sofa.Travis Codyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06192526507760146748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34398479.post-10508894564043605692009-04-02T10:12:00.000-04:002009-04-02T10:12:00.000-04:00Self-torture-you cracked me up with that-how true!...Self-torture-you cracked me up with that-how true!
