Though it may seem like more trouble than you want, the trick that women around the world have learned when they don't have the extra hand of a strong young masculine person to heft heavy pieces of furniture around is to 1. empty the item in question and/or 2. take it apart. Remove dresser mirrors or hutches, take out drawers from chests, etc. So empty the contents and move it. The hardware store probably has some of those sliders that come in all shapes and sizes for moving things (some are large for very heavy objects, like grand pianos).

I'm for the first time ever using my computer in a wireless fashion, hooked up to some school's unsecured site in this area. The wireless network in my own home isn't set to let anyone in and I haven't figured out how (I have to dumb down my security settings), but at least I know the computer can do it. And it's such a nice day to make this discovery--I'm sitting outside my son's guitar lesson as they work on a beautiful Spanish guitar piece. One of those fast, charismatic pieces that are classic babe magnets for handsome young men with guitars. . . :)
