It sounds like bamboo grows like mint. (Mom learned her lesson about putting mint in the garden--it soon took over that corner of the yard!)
Ha ha! Mine too!

Muah ha ha.
Tom, I'd recommend sateen finish cotton sheets in about 300 to 400 thread count. Feels much smoother and silkier than basic Egyptian cotton.
That synthetic silk fitted sheet I bought myself several years ago is 800 thread count and does legitimately feel a LOT finer and smoother than 400-count sheets I've had, but at least some of that may be due to the material, and I paid out the wazoo for it.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I have 1 set of 600 thread count sateen sheets, and they are HEAVEN. I did pay a whole lot for them, though - and I made sure that they are actually 600 count.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I have to say that the beech sheets Hec and I got as a wedding present wore thin and shredded completely to bits after about four years--but I also have to say that they got an unusually heavy amount of wear because (a) we don't have a lot of sheet sets, and when it was too warm for the flannel sheets we'd just wash the beech and put them right back on the bed, so they never got a break, and (b) we did have one other set of non-flannel sheets, but the beech sheets were just insanely much more soft and comfortable that we mostly ignored the others. If you can afford four or five sets and give each set a proper rest in between stints on your bed, oh they're lovely.

They've cancelled school for tomorrow due to cold. Subzero temps and REALLY subzero windchills. I need to figure out some indoor activities for tomorrow.

One inside activity my kids love is the treasure hunt. I just hide a bunch of notes around the house with each having a clue to finding the next until they reach the treasure one which is usually a coupon to turn in for a piece of candy or ice cream.

Timelies all!
I have a four-day weekend coming up, and I probably won't go more than a few miles from my house. Poor G has a business trip which requires him to fly out Saturday and work Monday and Tuesday. At least there's comp time...

I'm all jealous now--my dad just sent an e-mail saying that he and my brother are flying down to Tampa for the weekend tomorrow morning. He gets to escape all the cold of the next few days!!

That's a good idea, Gud. And easy to do.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I got the bamboo sheets.
