Queen mattress and boxsprings and Doghouse
My initial thought - she left him, he's getting a new mattress and will never again sleep in the doghouse.
What's your story?

I got nothin', sir. Maybe that's why you're the writer and I'm just the reader.

No, no, no......he kicked her out, so he doesn't need a queen size bed, only a full size one. He kicked her out because she wouldn't allow the dog in the house so the dog house is no longer needed. Attachments:

Darn you, papaof2.....came back to see if anyone else came up with a story line on the Craigslist and it got me to thinking with one of my 2 brain cells. (the other is always thinkin' about wimmen) How about stories about free items on Craigslist?
Thoughts of ways of starting a story.....a woman is giving away stuff that her husband used to tinker with, then one day he simply disappeared. She was tired of his bs, but made sure she reported him as missing after 72 hours. Since it's been month, she thought "it'll be a good time to get rid of his junk". You're a tinkerer yourself just looking for parts to use on your own projects. What you don't use, you'll sell as scrap metal. Maybe make the washing machine a little bigger than normal.....but it's actually a time machine. You find what looks like dust inside of it, along with a lot of electronic gadgets and the drum is padded inside with a handle on the inside of the door. The man actually invented a time machine, but failed to properly seal the door, so when he went into the future, time aged him and clothing immediately. The lint catcher is actually a battery either of his own design or maybe he got at some military base surplus sale. Think of the movie My Science Project.
Snowmobile is actually an anti-gravity device which also generates its own force field. A families "crazy a$$ uncle" died, leaving them with this and other junk. Scrap metal guy won't come out to collect everything unless they pay him. In an area that's hidden, there's a "electronic key" which will actually start the machine. The machine can go as fast as you want to write it up as because the force field protects the passenger(s). Two pedals on the floor: left pedal gives you altitude when pressed, altitude goes down when foot is off of it. Right pedal enables the force field. Turn the handle bars in direction you want to turn to. Kind of an updated version of Flubber. Seatbelts optional.
Rather plain looking bookcase, but the front is hinged and when opened in a certain way (think Chinese puzzle), you see another world. A kind of Narnia story?
Printer prints the news of the future. Estate sale (again) and since you've been wanting to learn more about electronics and how thinks work, you decide to see if you can fix it. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, right? But once you open it up, what you see is NOT what you expected as there's a whole lot more electronics in it than there should be for simple print job. You discover a loose wire, fix it, hook it up to your pc and give it a test run. You never thought about your pc being hooked to the news part of the internet. Look at your trial printout and think fake news as even the date is wrong. A couple of days (weeks?) later, while checking out the news, you see the same exact article?! Maybe have the printer print out what ever news you're interested in like who's going to win the base/basket/foot ball game, some horse race and of course, the stock market. Maybe the printer needs a special cartridge that the inventor came up with. So, were there extra cartridges and if so, where are they? Maybe those people who gave you the printer simply threw them out and now you're pawing thru the city dump in search of them.
The 3 TV's are NOT broken, but made to work when all 3 are hooked together, with the largest showing you Congress in session for example. Using a RC type controller, you're able to get within 5'(?) of someone AND of course, there's audio. Push the stick forward and it goes by who ever you're looking at and beyond. Walls do not hinder your view, just push a little further on the control stick and you're thru the wall. Maybe there's a switch on the controller which enables you to see what and where things happened in the past and future? Thing is, NO ONE knows they're being viewed and if you want, record what ever you want while viewing. Imagine the number of red faces when the deals Congress/Senate/President make all the time. Load 'em all on Facebook or Youtube. Also, no more unsolved crimes.
The ottoman could also be used as an inter dimensional machine. Lay it on its side, unhinge several sides, fiddle with the legs and suddenly you have a doorway into another world, time, dimension?
