Kumanani ndi Nthambi ya DuBois.Anali mtsikana wamtali, wakhungu lakuda, wokongola, akuwoneka monyadira pamaso pa mawindo opaka magalasi a tchalitchi chakale ku Brunswick.Brian ndi Tamara Bandle posachedwapa adagula malo omwe tsopano amawatcha kuti kwawo.
Poyamba, Bandles sanafune kuvomereza DuBois m'njira yake. Iwo amayembekezera chinachake chatsopano. Anali wonyansa kuposa momwe ankafunira. Komanso amamwa - kwambiri. Tikukamba za malita atatu kapena anayi (inde, malita) patsiku. .Ndiponso sizotsika mtengo kumuveka.Amakonda zida zamtunduwu - zonyezimira kwambiri (zonyezimira) zimakhala bwinoko.
Anatulutsanso kafungo kakang'ono. Anthu ambiri amaona kuti fungo lake ndi lokoma, koma fungo lake limasangalatsa m'mphuno za anthu ena.
DuBois ndi mtengo wa Khrisimasi wa Blue Ridge Mountain wa 9-foot.Iye ndiye mgwirizano weniweni.Monga iye ankakhala pa famu ya nkhalango pakati pa United States atangotsala pang'ono kuwonekera pakhomo la Bandle.
Brian adalamula, inde, koma sanapeze zomwe amayembekezera. Anayang'ana mtengo wochita kupanga wautali, koma adakopeka ndi kukongola kwa Du Bois - mtengo wake (wopitilira $ 200) umatanthauza kuti anali wotchipa kwambiri kuposa mitengo ina yabodza. Koma iye ananyalanyaza kuwerenga bwinobwino malongosoledwe pa webusaiti Williams-Sonoma.
DuBois atafika, mkazi wa Brian, Tamara, anali woyamba kuona tsinde lamtengowo m'malo mwa pulasitiki.
“Ndinali ngati, ‘Ha,’” Brian akukumbukira motero, ndipo Tamara anatembenuza maso ake n’kuchokapo.” Iye sanandikwiyire kwenikweni, koma anakhumudwa kwambiri ndi kusalabadira kwanga mwatsatanetsatane.
Ma Bandel, omwe anali asanakhalepo ndi mtengo weniweni, adachita mantha ndi chisamaliro chomwe chifaniziro cha painichi chimafunikira.Chotero adachita zomwe kasitomala aliyense wodziwa, wokhumudwitsidwa amachita tsopano ndi zinthu zosafunikira: "kugulitsa" mtengowo pawailesi yakanema.
Facebook ilibe chidwi - palibe ngakhale ndemanga imodzi yokha "ikupezekabe" yomwe imadutsa, koma nthawi zambiri palibe.
Webusayiti yomwe nthawi zambiri imanyozedwa, yomwe imayang'ana kwambiri pagulu ikuwonetsa "mukuganiza bwanji za galimoto yachilendo ija yomwe idayenda mumsewu usiku watha" kapena "Ndidawona imodzi pabwalo langa - ilibe mpweya."Kupuma - Turkey ", mtengo wa paini womwe umapangitsa moyo kukhala wodzaza ndi nyonga.
Cholemba choyamba cha Brian chinali chosavuta komanso mpaka: "Ndinagula mtengo wa Khrisimasi wamamita 8 pa intaneti womwe ndimaganiza kuti ndi wabodza ... woperekedwa lero ndipo udakhala mtengo weniweni," adalemba msewu. ndipo mkazi wanga sakukondwera ndi kugula kwanga.Ndi Fraser fir yomwe imawoneka ngati mtengo wabwino kwambiri, koma sindine wokakamizika kusamalira mtengo weniweni.Kufunsa mtengo 175 $.Ndi mtengo waukulu, ndipo ndalipira $225.”
Ngakhale kuti palibe amene wasonyeza chidwi chogula mtengowo (mutha kugula mafila anayi atsopano pano pamtengo umenewu kuti mupite nawo kwawo), ambiri asonyeza chidwi ndi painiwo.Kuona mtima kwa Brian pa zimene zinachitika ndiponso zimene mkazi wake anachita zinakopanso anthu.
Chifukwa chake, pamene mtengowo sunagulitse, adatumiza zosintha kuti akadalipo - monga mayi akudikirira.
"Mtengo udali pamwamba ndikudikirira mumtsuko wamadzi ofunda ku Home Depot mpaka ndidapeza mtengo.Sizinali zabwino, koma zonse sizinali bwino,” analemba motero.
Ndemanga ndi machitidwe adawunjikana.Posakhalitsa, adafunsidwa kuti apitirize nkhani ya mitengo.Izi zidasanduka otsatira omwe adalimbikitsa Bandles kukumbatira alendo osafunika.Woyandikana naye adamupatsa choyimira chomwe chinamasula Du Bois ku zomwe Brian adatcha "goli la Chidebe cha Home Depot.” Wotsatira wina anatumiza mikanda ya Mardi Gras mwachindunji kuchokera ku New Orleans. Anthu angapo anapempha kuti abwere kudzajambula chithunzi ndi mtengowo.
Kenako wina ananena mpikisano wotchula mayina. Akhoza kukhala Holly (Monyadira) kapena Noel kapena Betty.Heck, ngakhale Everett (akusewera Evergreen), Doug ndi Sam ochokera ku Basamu amwazikana ngati singano za Du Bois pa Bandles pansi.
Nthambi ya DuBois - youziridwa ndi Blanche DuBois mu "A Streetcar Named Desiree" - amapambana.Ndipo monga choncho, mtengowo unakhala iye.
"Tapereka dzina ndi jenda kumtengo," adatero Brian. Pakalipano, watumiza zolemba zisanu ndi zitatu zokhudzana ndi DuBois pa Nextdoor.
Koma mtengo umenewo unapeza zambiri kuposa dzina lokha.DuBois adagonjetsanso mitima ya Brian ndi Tamara.Ngakhale akunena kuti kutchuka kwapita pamutu pawo.Anafalikira, kutenga "malo ochuluka kuposa momwe ankayenera," malinga ndi mwini wake.
Iye tsopano ndi mlendo wokhazikika ku Bandells.Zosintha zaposachedwa zidalengeza nyumba yotseguka kuti anthu akumane ndi Du Bois Loweruka ndi Lamlungu.Ndipo, Tamara adati, Du Bois mwina adasintha malingaliro a banjali za mtengo weniweni wa Khrisimasi.
"Tsopano ndiyenera kuvomereza kuti mtengowo ndi wokongola ndipo ndikuganiza kuti tiyenera kukhala ndi mtengo weniweni chaka chilichonse," adatero Tamara.
