Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
We have a second savings account( i put in like 1% of our paychecks , gift dollars, and 1/2 of other unexpected money) , not a lot of money in it, but it is where we save money for the next project. That's how I keep from charging things like paint,lawn mowers, sofas , etc.
I have one of these accounts. Waaay more money has been going out than going in though.
Those floors will be gorgeous, beth!
That's going to be a gorgeous floor.
My sheets reflect the vagaries of inheritance. My father was the only child in his mother's family, so we got a hodgepodge of household goods like sheets and dishes. Then we've wrapped antiques in sheets to transport them, and the sheets have gone back and forth between here and Nashville. The result is that I have way too many sheets, mostly top sheets. I'm in the process of trying to sort some into sets to give to a group that works with homeless families. That means that there will be sheets strewn about my living room for the next couple of months. My favorite sheets, because they're the softest, have blue machine embroidery that my mother did and have "Clark" written on them in indelible ink. That puts them at at least 30 years old, because that's my great-aunt.
Come to think of it, I probably still have my extra-long dorm sheets. I kept the top sheet in the back of the car for impromtu picnics or whatever. The only use it has seen was as a privacy curtain for a pee-in-a-cup emergency (poor kid had to go so bad she was sobbing) in a parking garage where we were trapped due to traffic.
My dorm sheets were given to my by this old lady who my mom used to visit. She also gave me her trunk form when she was a nurse in WW II. From the floral and ribbon design on those sheets, I wouldn't be surprised if they were from the same era.
Ridiculous question: I'm watching a movie from TV, and I just realized it's letterboxed, even though I have the new wide TV. Do I have to be watching HD channels (or DVDs?) to get the full-screen action?
Do you have a HD box from TW? I can press the "#" button on the remote to change the picture size.
I have 3 cotton and one flannel set of sheets -- enough for me and the Castro couch downstairs if someone is visiting.
According to housekeeping experts you should have three sets, one to have on the bed, one to live on the linen closet shelf, and one to be in the wash so that you're never caught out short for emergencies like unexpected body fluids or the stray iron left on the bed all day....

Not yet, which would do it -- I'm watching the old-style TV on the new-fangled screen. The idea of paying even more for cable makes me sad.

They don't charge any extra for HD service.
Really? I thought it was like $8/mo more. In that case, I'll go to the cable store next week!
They have a $8.95 "HD extra" package, for 4 or 5 channels that are HD only. But if there's an HD version of a cable channel that you're already paying for, then it doesn't cost any more.
