LooeyVille @LooeyVille (48) • United States 12 Jun

The Replacement Suitcase Was Inadequate

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (48) • United States 13 Jun

I received the replacement suitcase from Delta Airlines on Wednesday. It is not nearly the quality of the suitcase that they damaged. The wheels are too small and not sturdy enough. The body isn't as sturdy. It won't hold...

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (48) • United States 13 Jun

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (48) • United States 13 Jun

I have a bamboo 48" x 52" rectangle piece of wood under my desk chair. It's been there 10 years. It protects the carpet and allows me to roll on the carpet. Except now it has finally cracked and broken. So I was just online at...
