Twenty years ago, in anticipation of the arrival of our baby, a glider rocker was secured. It proved fantastically well-suited to its task of rocking-baby-to-sleep assisting, but, as baby evolved, it became less useful, and more like an annoying tippy chair (at least in my more strident eyes).

With my stridency now unfettered, I listed it on Kijiji a month ago, where it joined many other glider rockers for sale (perhaps also victims of growing children). For weeks I had no bites, but last week someone from Wellington pinged me; they retrieved it today. $30. A good deal for them, and a little less tippy clutter at 100 Prince Street.
