but then there's nothing to protect your feet from something creeping up off the floor and into your bed! Yes, I'm still traumatized by the things my brother said to me when I was THREE that would happen at night. Well, and, see: critters in the house. I had a skink in my stove for 2 months last summer. Plus one under the sofa and one in the linen closet. It's the freaking Wild Kingdom around my house!
You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
You had a skink?!?!? Prehensile tailed? Those things are adorable. Like wee baby cartoon dinosaurs...
eta: I am perhaps trivializing your skink trauma. This is not my intention. The only ones I have seen were pets and therefore not free-range.

I don't disagree! But I like something covering my shoulders even if it isn't heavy ( my birch sheets are very light, is pretty close to silk in terms of insulation, weight and thickness) and the topsheet accomplishes that. When it is really chilly, I wear a shirt to cover my shoulders so I don't wake up with cold-aches.

The one hiding in the sofa cushions was a horrible shock. I still have shuddery flashbacks about it. The one in the stove, I knew about and didn't mind so much. The one in the linen closet, I thought was an ordinary dust bunny until, well, it clearly was actually alive and not liking my attempts to vacuum it up.
How often do you have to wash your duvet cover?
eta: Congratulations, tiggy!!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
seriously this benefit crap is going to be the death of me. I have done all the math and to my calculations - taking out stuff pre-tax for FSA, plus the min (I know, don't lecture) retirement contribution, and transit - I will be bringing home $300 less than I have been per paycheck - If that 300 is less than what I plan to spend on those reimbursable expenses per paycheck, then I am coming out ahead - correct?

Don't ask me. I've got a long neck and big eyes full of grit. And a bulbous feathery tail.
