Comments on: Furniture scavenging: does it appeal, in the age of bed bugs? http://bedbugger.com/2007/06/29/scavenging/ bed bug news, information, activism, and support Sat, 21 Nov 2009 07:14:38 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: nobugsonme http://bedbugger.com/2007/06/29/scavenging/comment-page-1/#comment-4152 nobugsonme Mon, 02 Jul 2007 03:22:19 +0000 http://bedbugger.com/2007/06/29/scavenging/#comment-4152 Spiracles sounds like a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiracle" rel="nofollow">buggy scripture</a>, Winston. Yes, you speak the gospel of Bedbuggers. I commented in a similar vein on the AT comments--people need to "think different" (as Apple used to say); It's not the dumpiness of the dumpster that you find it in, it's the secondhandness of the stuff, that mean it may be infested-- so antique stores, estate sales, thrift stores and NYU dumpsters are all suspect. Spiracles sounds like a buggy scripture, Winston.

It’s not the dumpiness of the dumpster that you find it in, it’s the secondhandness of the stuff, that mean it may be infested– so antique stores, estate sales, thrift stores and NYU dumpsters are all suspect.

Buggy Sun, 01 Jul 2007 13:53:59 +0000 http://bedbugger.com/2007/06/29/scavenging/#comment-4148 A spiritual thought for a Sunday morning from Spiracles 6:13 " God forgive us for transgressions committed both knowingly and unknowingly" This may fool a deity but not bed bugs. Just a reminder to beware of all the pre owned, antique furniture and mattresses that are out there smartly packaged yet hungry with savings. One can still see the mattress vans ( the black helicopters of BBs) combing the streets despite council hearings. While we may not look for bb bargins there are people who do it for you Caveat Emptor! A spiritual thought for a Sunday morning from

If the blog isn't recognizing you try hitting logout on the top right, and logging back in again via the same link (which will morph into "login" once you logout). The same login works here as at the forums. Nomo, you mean Patrick's comment about being cautious about picking "anyone up off the street"?
