Final Check
A. Fixing Up Furniture
I feel proud when I can fix up furniture that oter people have disposed of. Instead of spending a lot of money on new furniture, I'll recycle an old chair thrown out by a relative or an ugly bureau I've found in a neighbor's trash pile. I like the challenge of trying to restore them to their orighinal condition. I often find a beautiful piece of furniture hidden under many coats of paint or vrnish. At first it is hard to determine how good or bad the piece underneath really is. I must carefully remove the old paint or varnish. If it becomes evident that the quality of the piece of furniture is good, I sand it until it is smooth. Then I stain it to bring out the wood's natural lines and colors. Finally, I apply new varnish to preserve the wood from damage by water or excessive heat. Fixing other people's "junk" has been an inexpensive way for me to get some beautiful furniture.
B. Barbara's Date with Her Cousin
Barbara can finally laugh about the time twenty years ago when she was so desperate for a date that she paid her cousin twenty-five dollars to go with her to the senior prom. She admits that she had very few dates in high school. However, when the prom tickets first went on sale, Barbara hoped that some suitable fellow would fall for her charms and ask her to the prom, and maybe even ask her to go steady. It didn't happen. Back then, people didn't think it was very "ladylike" behavior to actively pursue a date with a boy. But Barbara wanted to go to the prom so badly that she didn't care if her actions seemed improper. Despite her fear of rejection, she got up her nerve to ask Gary. He already had a date. So she asked Emilio and then Chuck. They also said no. One week before the prom, she called her cousin. He said, "Okey, but it will cost you. " He wanted ten dollars to accompany her to the dance and another fifteen dollars not to tell anyone at the prom that they were related.
