A warning: The people who were to me what Lori is to ita went and had twins and now are too busy to handle my Ikea-related business.

Uh-oh. ita, you better hit the stores quick.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I need to buy a new mattress/boxspring set. I don't want to spend over 500 bucks. Is it possible to get a decent one?

JZ has done a lot of research on this (because we desperately need a new bed), and it's very easy to get a great mattress discounted. For some reason the mattress business is driven by a weird brand name shell game where they switch names on the same product and then re-market it and (as noted above) the ticking is different and glayvin.

In short, there are a lot of high quality mattresses and box springs you can get if you know to go to the right discounter. The companies will dump perfectly great mattresses and box springs because they've renamed the same product.

Or, you could see if Aly Hannigan is done with her current bed.

I just found out (while looking for a better job than my current one) that my 1993 roommate (on JYA in Athens, Greece) has been working on her PhD across campus from me for 18 months now.

Also, my knives are dull, I have a magnet but it's not attached to the wall yet, and I really need a new mattress.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Hm. It's either horribly complicated or a stroke of luck, then. I need a full size mattress.

Allyson, the mattresses I have were bought from a local mattress factory and were MUCH cheaper than getting a name brand. I just went to the store a couple of times and laid on the mattress to find ones I like.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Quick reality check question: I just relaized I neglected to put in two pegs. The pieces each have two other pegs and one screw. Is that plenty, or should I undo it and add the other pegs?

Ugh.

The chain link one? Probably only if it's been worn out.

We need a new mattress badly.

Yes, but does your sister still have her hands?

I need a food processor. I made carrot soup last weekend, and it was tricky mashing up hot cooked carrots with only a hand mixer.
