I know sure as shit that when I was married I didn't pick out a single couch, curtain or rug. I was fine with that and she stayed out of my 1 room.
Now I have the whole house and life is so much better. :)
I don't want to derail the thread but does your friend work on video poker machines?
I have a few nice monitors that came from poker machines but do not have the remote boards.
If not I'll post my own "wanted" thread.
