me too. of course, it would have been an excuse to buy a new bed :)
Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

Oh shit, Vortex. So glad the damage was minimal.

Auto shut-offs are a wonderful thing, let me tell you...
So I got up early (for a day off) with the intent of making the most of the day.
Then I didn't get showered and dressed until 1:30.
Oh well.
Guess I'll make a target run and then get some lunchmeat.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Were they the good sheets? Invariably, when something spills, or snags and rips, it's the good sheets, the Egyptian cotton ones that I never could have afforded except on deepdeepdeep(deep!)discount. The scratchy blends? Nothing ever happens to.

no, not particularly good, but I liked them. It's the end of the bed, so I can still use them.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
How many sets of sheets do most folks have? We use white flannel from The Company Store, which is cool in summer and warm in winter. We have the set we use, which we wash weekly. Then we have our "retired" set, to pull out if something happens to our main set. We also have one set (with monkeys!) for the guest bed, and some extra pillowcases. That's it. Having the world's smallest linen closet contributes to our non-sheet having.

I have two or three sets of cotton sheets and two sets of flannel.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
We have about what you have, Robin, but right now it's a little bit more because we recently switched from a full to a king bed (and thus, inexplicably, have queen and king sheets). But pretty much we have the one set we usually use and the one set of flannel.
I am missing several of my pillowcases though. I am suspicious that they have gone walkabout as either gig bags or art storage containers during our most recent move. Which I know was almost a year ago, and we need to figure out where they are.

I have one set of flannel and three sets of cotton. That way I'm not obligated to wash them right away if I change the linens.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I have a lot, because I don't tend to throw sets away when they get worn out or stained, plus my mother and sister both like giving me sheet sets as presents for some odd reason.
