At first I was wondering how this answered @FJinTegaCay 's question. Is he just supposed to drape himself in blackout curtains and not care what his kids look at online?

I thought "Blackout Curtains" was a software app David needed to download ....
My parents are having a tree cut down in Belmont and I need a large section delivered to a sawmill in Charlotte. The owner of the sawmill cannot meet the arborist company to have them load it up on his trailer.
Anyone know someone with a trailer & loader that could do it this week?

I hope one of the posters is a velvet Elvis. Or a black light Molly Hatchet album cover.

Is that going to be way bigger to allow for extra movement, or way smaller to restrict?
Or is it just standard size with lots of, um, accessories?
Next stage...
So Rant on:
I send some local guy a note about a set of speakers on Craigslist. Small Polk that will match my wife's larger towers and the center. It's literally the third surround system in the house and thus has a low priority. At $40 a pair, the price is right.
Here's the exchange: word for word. For the record: I did NOT respond immediately.... I've also filtered out his email address in the likely psychotic event that this guy googles his name....
Me:
I'll take them for $40. Where do you wanna meet?
This guy:
Hey Jim.. Will need your cell # so I can call you w/ directions.. picked up at my home so you can hear them play fine before you take them.. I will have connected to my receiver as stated in the ad. What time can you pickup today, between 1:30-5pm? Greg
Me: <no response> To be clear, I didn't see his super fast response, I went onto other things and being sick, I didn't worry too much about $40 speakers....
This guy:
classic BS talker... amf ! (for those of you not in the know, amf stands for adios mother blanker)
Me:
Wow dude.
I don't immediately respond and now you're saying I'm a BS talker and you sware at me? (admittedly, a spelling error on my part)
THIS IS WHERE IT GETS WEIRD:
This guy:
blah blah... so full of s***
no wonder.. sweetie boy loves his PHOOO PHOOO rodents! hahahahahahaha
INSERT PICTURE OF MY DOGS THAT HE"S GOOGLED...
So, he's gone googling and found a picture of my dogs and made fun of them. What are your thoughts on this??
And it continues....
Me:
Pathetic.
I wanted the speakers as rear satellites in a matched setup. I have the matching Polk front and centers. Why spend the time berating me and making fun of my dogs?
what are you possibly hoping to accomplish?
This guy:
spend your $40 on a REMEDIAL ENGLISH class so you can learn the really BIG words .. like SWEAR! Ive sold vintage audio for 30 yrs, and I can spot the TALKERS a mile away.. you don't read the fxxxing ad, send a phone #, and when I reply to your message ..immediately, like 20 seconds after you sent it...NO REPLY.. you disappeared huh? No.. You just wanna shop around and TALK... You weren't gonna buy s***. So easy to spot the morons... go tickle your rodents... Jimmy Bob
So I'd like to go on record as saying that this guy is the king of customer service. I highly recommend him.
LOTS of stuff for sale on Craigslist. Mostly speakers/electronics. Wanna know how to find him? Or more to the point, avoid him? He's in Greensboro, and his ads all start with the phrase "if the ad's running, it's still available...."
Rant off

"...it put's the lotion on its skin."
i sware James, you and your rodents may be better off.
EDIT
amn it! @stevezero beat me with the "Silence of the Lambs" reference.
Most people in craigslist I have ever dealt with are unstable or downright batsheet crazy. I have a different email when dealing with that crew
I'm not gonna ask why you have enough info in the email address you used on CL that he can find you on the web.
Unlikely to reoccur. I figured out the loose end and I'm sewing it shut now.
