A Man With a Truck

Yep. That's what I want: I man with a truck.

While contemplating buying a futon today, I came across a big dilemma — delivery fees !

Both of the futons I considered buying only cost $99 - but the delivery fee at one store was $60 (it would get to me in a week) and the fee at the other store was $99 (for same day or next day service). One store even offered assembly services, for a fee of course.

But if I had a man with a truck...

I mean, if I had a man with a truck, I wouldn't have to worry about delivery fees or setting up the doggone thing myself. He would just...handle it.

Now, before you think, "Lottie has lost her damn mind," I want you to consider a man with a truck. To me, a man with a truck — and not just some little, pretty luxury SUV but a good heavy pickup vehicle — represents someone who is down to earth; someone who isn't afraid to get his hands dirty and help someone else. To me, a man with a truck represents a hard worker — you know, someone who can do some heavylifting (lol !!!)

Let me stop. I'm being bad.

But seriously, real men own trucks. My dad has a truck. He hauls all things big and small in his truck — wood for the fireplace, furniture, all my sister's junk. He gets on the highway and takes care of business. How many of these little city boys you know have a truck?

So, that's what I want, a real man — a man with a truck.

What are your thoughts?
