Jolie Kerr:

So true. If you are going to invest in something, pretty bedding lasts a whole lot longer than most other purchases. Practical.

Grew up in a house where making the bed was just "how things work." No questions or demands. Not bragging on myself. My mother was just the type of woman who grew up a certain way and, by example, taught me the benefits of the bed as sanctuary.

See my reply below re: eucalyptus oil.

All you need to add is about a 1/4 -1/2 teaspoon each time. The thing is to add it during the rinse for best results.

Jolie Kerr,

Same super early morning situation on many days where there's no time.

Now that this post is buried, I will venture to say that (will leave to your imagination) was involved because you never saw two guys laughing so much while jerking around trying to get my car out of the ice.

Ahh, That makes sense. I live in a one of those "small house" developments (duty now for the future!!!) and our driveways are not very big. I forget how long and wide some of the driveways can be/if you live on a large property far from the street.

Where I am, almost all the lawns are covered with snow. Mine is the exception because we had SO much snow, the plow guy pushed it into a mountain in my front yard, which left, after some rain, a patch of grass about 12' x 10'.

I learned to dicker if short on cash. Next time, make it up to them.

Yeesh. $90.00? People in my area pay $30.00 to $40.00, and this is snow country.

Private moral humiliation for the act if done as a last resort—in private. Make it public and it moves on to looking for judgement of character.

True enough. If you are not the snooping type, doing so is a major dilemma. Perhaps she didn't go into detail expressing herself adequately, but there could be the point where you just say, "Your sketchy-ass behavior gave me the strength to swallow my pride and check your shit out. I'm not proud, but at least I'm not…

And by reality, I mean sad show.

And now we just have stories of baby oil and that reality TV show.

It couldn't be weirder than the Sex and the City version.

"("tummy" is the scientific word for "stomach")"

I am so sad that this information about the death of Nancy Moates is relegated to a "dirt bag."
