Damn you. I had no idea LL Bean sold bedding. I went to check out their stuff and then had to talk myself off a ledge of $14o sheets. And I bookmarked a wool blanket to buy in the fall.

That’s actually one of the only places I thought to look before posting this question. There stuff is pretty hit-or-miss with me, and the bedding were all definite misses.

I was hoping for a more traditional patch-work style one. After everyone’s suggestions, I’ve actually found a couple on etsy that I’m now trying to decide between!

thanks!

I have actually been looking at taking a quilting class, and yes, I definitely want something kind of folksy, I like that style! However, I am also aware that I am very clumsy, and it will probably take me many years of practice before I can produce a respectable quilt.

Oh my god, I went to Ikea two months ago because I needed bookcases. Even though I knew precisely what I needed and the number and all, it still took me an hour to get through that fucking store. I cannot possibly go back for at least a year.

Aw, thanks. I always read SNS, and I’ll comment if I have anything helpful to say, but I’ve never straight-up submitted a question before. I hope they don’t scorn me.

Hey, everyone. I don’t normally do SNS, but I’m hoping for some home-decor-stuff advice. Where can I buy a quilt for my bed without breaking the bank? We’ve been using a brown duvet from Target as a cover, which is fine, but I have a little extra cash just now, so I’d like to get a bed cover I actually like, ideally a…

Poor Chris Christie. Cast away like an empty Doritos bag, and after everything he endured. I hope he finds peace.

I’m kind of charmed by the idea of a parallel-universe Obama who really is trying to oppress gun-owners or institute sharia law or whatever, but is really, really bad at it.

Are you in Santa Fe? I ask only because my mother and I used to make an annual pilgrimage around August 1 from Austin to Santa Fe for a week. It was mindblowing how much cooler it is up there. Like, you needed a cardigan to sit around the plaza in the early mornings.

“Pretentious”.

Can I vote for Tom Franco?

They are so mean. And I enjoyed that, but I also never offered myself up as a sacrificial lamb for their teeth.

burn out is real. But your contributions were appreciated.

I employ a team of highly qualified nannies. I’m a fucking movie star, why are you even asking me this question?

Imagine if we speculated about men’s vasectomies in this manner. ORLANDO BLOOM: THE BIG SNIP? Followed by ten photos of the actor in swim trunks standing with a vaguely bow-legged stance.

Speaking as a Texan, Texas has been massively over-rated in this thought experiment. We are too big and unwieldly, and overpopulated with attention-whoring dumbasses and feckless people willing to line up behind a hometown hero. Within a month, we will have split into at least five warring regions, seeking only the…

Ivanka is trying to play the role Meghan McCain played for her dad back in 2008: appealing to young independents and moderates. It doesn’t work because the conservative party is far more extreme today, so aren’t that many of those people to court, and also because no one is convinced that Ivanka’s opinions are going…
