Practical things that The Sycamores could use...

[elSicomoro]

...and remember, Rho and I both have birthdays coming up.

These aren't really needed...we've lived without them for this long. But they would actually be nice to have, very functional, and well used.

--Paper Shredder: I meant to look into one of these tonight, but forgot. I'm very careful about destroying pertinent stuff, but a shredder would be so much easier and faster than using scissors.

--End tables: Nothing fancy, just a couple for...

--Lamps: For the first time in the 4 years Rho and I have lived together, we actually have a light that is strictly for the living room. (The new halogen lamp I just bought. Previous to this, the dining room light has functioned as light for the living room.)

--A queen-sized bed: I had a full-sized bed when I lived in St. Louis. We soon realized that a full-sized bed was not going to work for very long for the two of us. With the way Rho thrashes around, I finally had to start sleeping in the living room...that was a year ago.

--New CD displays: I have this old CD tower that stores 200 CDs, and a couple of other racks that I've picked up to hold what is now a 433-disc collection. Rho has about 300, most of which are in two large boxes. I'd like to have a bookcase-like setup for them, so that they're easier to access.

I have a PayPal account if you wish to donate $$$.
