Somali Pirates


Somewhere off the coast of Africa


I believe that there is a boat load of


Somali Pirates sitting on my couch.


And I would gladly pay the Ransom to get it.

It's been so long since I ordered it


that I really can't remember what it looks like.



I think it looks something like the one above.


All I really remember is that it is black leather.


I haven't had a couch since November.


I miss having a couch.


I gave the one I had to the DIL and son.


My new couch was suppose


to be in around Dec. 10th.
I didn't really need a new couch but I wanted
one that was more kid and dog friendly.
One of my Son's and DIL's
have a membership in Direct Buy.
The first time I ever looked at a catalog
I saw this couch and thought what a wonderful price.
So I put in for one, saying that it could be my
Birthday, Anniversary and Christmas present
all wrapped up into one great gift!
So the Sweetheart gave in to the begging,
and I had the DIL ordered it the 2nd week in October.
I wrote her a check to pay for it right then.
I had no idea it was to be imported from
over seas somewhere, I don't even know
where it is coming from, I just know it was
to be here in 6 to 8 weeks time.
So the week before it was suppose to arrive
I let the other DIL come get my couch,
thinking the new one would be in the next week.
An Email came saying it would be delayed
and not be in until Dec. 17th.
Another delay, January 8th.
and another, January 27th,
And another, February 29.
Still no couch!!!!!
The latest date they gave us for
delivery is March 26.
I guaran~dang~ te ~ya,
it won't be here then either!!
I just know those Somali Pirates hijacked that
slow boat from China and are sitting on it
somewhere off the coast of Africa.

Dang those pirates ---they better not be eating on it.
We found some oak nesting tables we wanted for out living room, and they said 6 weeks...well 10 weeks later NO tables, we lost interest, got our money back and said
stick it...........well, not really, but I wanted to.

Talk about frustration! Hopefully it will come soon and will look like you expect it to!
I'm heading to China in June, do you want me to check on it?

Whattttt? That is nuts. You should get a major slice on your bill. Sheesh.

Sarah Lulu said...

I wonder if they are actually sitting on it? Lounging on it ...splashed with ocean spray as it might be!

That is insane. i hope you get it soon, since you've paid for it. I can imagine getting a refund would be a nother wad of red tape.

This is the most classic example of "Not counting your C - - - - - - - (Couches) before they hatch!

I do not know why you aren't a basket case with all the C - - - you've had happening for the past year & longer.

Randomly Pick & Choose & eliminate:

chickens
crap
chickens
couches
crud
chickens

That is what I call bad service ! Maybe you should get your money back plus interest!

Mikki said...

Gigi, I'm adding your couch to my prayer list!
Hope it shows up soon, or you get your money back!
