ha ha, i know what you're talking about sj.
when our ds was born, my mil send down this bassinet thing but it seriously looks like the actual manger that jesus himself was born in! it was covered in cobwebs and stunk! anyway, there was no way i was putting ds in it, so it is now getting used to hold firewood
it's very hard, as people have big hearts and they just want to help. most of the stuff we have been given has been great though
