I know that sounds like the title of a bad B movie. (Susan, I thought of you!) I started to just do a quick vacuum through the house this afternoon. I don't know what prompted me to look under the sofa cushion, but ick! I pulled: two remotes, an ankle brace, nail polish, a belt, a recorder (the musical kind), socks, a magazine, a thermometer, hair things, $3.16 in change, the lost number die from the Scattergories game, and, the most interesting thing: a business card of mine from a company I haven't worked for in over 10 years! And yes, that is an entire grocery store bag of trash!I know I cleaned the sofa out last year. That's where I found Savannah's lost Game Boy. So what, did I miss all this stuff? Or is this what we collected in a year? This time, I found a lost calculator. One of the $90 ones! I can't believe that much stuff gets in there.
Ewwww! Glad you didn't find any critters! lol
ReplyDeleteEwww... I'm glad I didn't think of that while I was cleaning it out!
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of couch do you have that can hide all that stuff? You're not missing any small animals, are you?
ReplyDeletelol.... from now on when you lose something like a remote or calculator, you could just look under a cushion! what a haul!
ReplyDeleteYes, that much stuff gets lost in the couch over a year!
ReplyDeleteBTW, that would be an AWESOME B-movie title! lol!
Lol...wow. I don't know how all that stuff was under your cushions and yet you didn't feel a difference when you sat down!
ReplyDeleteET stops by your house everynight and hides a few things. (-;
ReplyDeleteI have a sofa where all the cushions- back and seat- come off. The 8 way hand tied stuff where you can put half your arm between the bottom of the seat cushions and the back.
ReplyDeleteI hope that's it, Greg- at least ET is nice!
ReplyDeleteThat's perfect; I'm stealing borrowing it.
ReplyDeleteI think Id clean it out once a month if that much stuff is in there all the time :)
ReplyDeleteI wonder if that is where my glasses are?
ReplyDeleteI don't suppose you found any ankle socks, mens, size 14 did you?
ReplyDeletewow ! treasure hunt !
ReplyDeleteWhat no socks or battery backs? That's what disappears in our house. I wear my socks in pairs, and get back tons of singles that don't match up, and there aren't mismatched pairs in my dresser either. Once I took them all out for a redo hinking that was the key, but it wasn't. Since the 80's everything we buy that has batteries is latter found without the back on it (that holds the batteries). They never turn up. Black holes, multidimensional vortex, who knows? But not in YOUR couch apparently!
ReplyDeleteNow I want to see your medicine cabinet.
ReplyDeleteI have enough trouble keeping the middle cushion and two T-cushions in place on my sofa, I'm glad the back cushions don't come off too. I guess I find my 'couch collectibles' right away because I'm always having to put the cushions back in place.
ReplyDeleteWow, your sofa is almost like the Bermuda Triangle or a Black Hole or something. And your blog post title does sound like the title of an old B movie. lol
Yeah, that's why I rubber-band those puppies; works great for holding them all together, even if they are new, lol ~
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh- yes- I did find the back to one of the remotes that had gone missing- why do they do that? I blame the kids.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a medicine cabinet....
ReplyDeleteThat's what I told Chris as I pulled out handfuls of gunk... you could lose anything in there!
ReplyDeleteNow why didn't I think of that?! I'm alway dropping the remotes and then the backs pop off and the batteries go rolling across the living room floor with the cats in close pursuit. lol
ReplyDeleteI had considered duct tape, but not rubber bands! The things you learn from your friends! Thanks, Blue!
ReplyDeleteA big haul !!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome; it just made sense to me, because I knew I'd have to change the batteries every so often, so I needed something that was "easy-off, easy-on" (and no, I'm not talking about Velcro panties, or those front-clasp bras, lol) ~
ReplyDeletewow. Another missed blog. If all that came out of your sofa, I am amazed. I clean mine out every other day (with the dogs I got into the habit). Reznor used to tuck dead mice down the sides. Discovered that the hard way. So now when I vaccuum, I also stick the wand down the sides and the backs. It's a sight to behold too---I stand on the sofa so my weight holds the springs down and I can see down the sides. I refuse to stick my hand in there...hahaha
ReplyDeleteI stuck my hand in there... and then thought "what am I doing?" Ick!!
ReplyDeleteI put on rubber gloves. After the mouse incident...no bare hands.
