See, I like challenges like this. Although I don't own a TV, I did move all the furniture in my apartment by myself. It was quite fun figuring out how to get the heavier pieces to bend to my will. Very Happy
LOL. I've hung drywall by myself. Beat that!
In case you're wondering how, I hung the upper sections first. I temporarily screwed 2x4s into the studs at the proper height, dragged the drywall to the wall, put a drill with pail of drywall screws & magnetic driver bit on a table next to me, then lifted the drywall up & heaved it over and onto the 2x4. From that point, I positioned it horizontally, held it with one hand, grabbed the drill (drywall screw already loaded into the magnetic driver bit), screwed it in about 2/3 of the way up in the middle, then put in the rest of the middle column of screws. From that point, I just worked my way out to the edges, then removed the supporting 2x4. Voila. Drywall sheets, hung by me alone. The lower sections were similar, except I had to also use shims to get them up to the right height. I actually lost 7 pounds in 3 days hanging new drywall in my living room.
40 sheets on a 12/12 pitched cieling(my attic now 3rd bedroom) just 2 weeks after having double hernia surgery, lots of trimming and angle cuts 'caus its a T shaped room thats 28' x 18'. The whole time my EX sat on the computer playing a game.
2x4 on the knee wall, T frame(2x4's and plywood) and a 2x4 nailed to the floor at the appropiate distance. Same process but it took me a week to hang it and another week to finish it. .
I still couldn't even stand upright.

I Would think this universal for everyone
Yet the difficulty in finding a solution remains
Jackets and blankets only do it so much. Dogs or cats don't stay to long one place before they want walk away. Nothing beats human warmth

I use dish soap, kills fleas better then the $20 flea soap. But the fleas seem to live in the sand around where I live (and I think the sand gets them from the squirrels). I give them a bath, they go out, and the next day they have just as many as before.

I have a cat and my feather pillow I do that with. Still I know what you mean even though I'm not the cuddle type it'd be nice to have a nice clean guy in my bed to put my arm around or the other way around. I should really get a single size bed instead of a queen one. Makes you think you're suppose to have someone or something lying next to you that's larger than a cat..

How about flea repellent, you can get the good stuff from a vet
