sleeper sofa for sale

[jenej.livejournal.com]

I've got a sleeper sofa for sale, located between Davis/Union Squares. It is a queen sized sleeper. I bought it from Bob's Furniture a few years ago, the maker is Rockport. The color is called "celery" but it really looks brown/tan. Material is microfiber and it has the "goofproof" treatment. The material is in great condition, as is the mattress. The seat cushions are a little soft after a few years of sitting, but are in good shape. Couch is 77" long, 35" deep. Would need it to be picked up 12/9 or 12/10. $125 cash on pick up.

winter work - baby sitting, organizing, odd jobs

[susan mclucas]

I am looking for some gainful employment over the winter, till my bike school opens back up.  I like to take care of kids.  I play guitar and know quite a few songs kids like.  I have a masters in education, CPR and first aid.  I also take care of old people or anyone who needs extra help.
I have helped people organize their houses.
I can do editing or transcribing.
If you don't mind the cold, I'll teach you how to ride even over the winter.
