dumpster diving

Our daughter moved out into her very first apartment. She is splitting the rent with 3 other people ( three guys) They each have their own bedroom and there is also 2 bathrooms. when she moved into her room, there was a huge pool table in the living room. we decided to move it over some so we could bring in her stuff and as me and her boyfriend picked it up, 3 of the legs fell off. there we stood , holding up a pool table, waiting for her dad to come back in from the truck and put the legs back on it. great piece of furniture hun. anyways. this pool table belonged to one of her roomies and he moved out and guess what he forgot to take! you got it, that high dollar pool table. so he moved out yesterday and when joanna came home from work and found out he had moved, she rounded up her buddies and they hauled the pool table out to the dumpster. as they were coming back, the saw some folks hauling a couch out to the dump. they waited a little bit and went out and checked out the couch since she ddidnt have one yet. found out it was a pretty nice couch and has a sleeper bed with it. so they loaded it up and hauled it back to her apartment.! Now she has a nice couch , a dinningroom table,a rotten recliner that belongs to one of her roomies who wont give it up and a weird looking chair and ottoman. Starting to take shape thanks to dumpster diving. She has always been like this. when she was 2, she went with her dad to the dump and as he was tossing stuff in, she saw a metal doll house. she asked her dad ( her favoite saying at the time)WHATS THAT? pointing at the doll house. her dad told her it was a big doll house and she replied" MINE" so he dug it outa the dumpster, brought it home and cleaned it up and she had many many wonderful times playing with that dumpster doll house. so it dont surprise me she found her couch at the dumpster! thats my girl!!!
