My current doormat was $14.99, but a: it was half-off; and b: it's on the covered porch and comes after the large, hardcore mat that we got when we had dogs. A regular doormat gauntlet (we also have one on a low spot on the path to the house).
Seems like everyone's got a tale to tell.

I’ve bought an $80 doormat. Those nice water hog ones from ll bean in the big sizes, like 4x6? Essential if you get snow.
They live in a high-rise apartment building in Virginia.
To be fair, they’re moving into a nice new apartment after years in a nearby apartment that was honestly kind of a dump. But it’s also the only thing on his list. So I stand by my saltiness. Which is mostly in good humor.
My all-time favorite doormat (which IIRC was actually a Christmas present) was this one: [link]

Our doormat says "Hope you like dog hair"

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
JZ got the Good Place doormat: "Welcome! Everything is Fine."
And, you know, everything has NOT been fine so I find myself in disagreement with the doormat every time I come home, but don't want to get rid of it since Jacqueline got it.
Also, Matilda spilled a big latte all over it and it has a big stain.
So that's the story of our doormat.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Everything is Fine was always a lie, though. Having a big latte stain kinda makes it better.
brenda's doormat is a good one

Love Brenda's doormat and, thanks to flea, have been looking at Water Hog doormats. Our doormat was, I dunno, probably $20? And it's all faded and stained now after less than a year. Which, I didn't super care until flea came in with the Water Hog...
I'm every advertiser's dream. Except, I don't always but, so maybe not.
Dinner with a friend tonight, and I can't wait. You, know, the friend you get to mutually share all the good, bad, and ugly from the last month since your last dinner? Yeah, that one. And it has been A WEEK chez Jen.
You all, how can it be not even two weeks until Christmas? One of you fell down on the job, is all I'm saying.

Just got a call from our insurance broker. State Farm is no longer going to insure our house, so...I have to get a new insurer by March. Fun.

WTF? I knew they weren't issuing new policies but I didn't realize they were dropping people.
Oddly enough, I was just on the phone with my credit union this morning since my Travelers non-owner auto insurance is going up from ~$190 for six months to $225. I mean, $30/month was already ridiculous for basic liability insurance. If my credit card doesn't come up with a decent rate, I think I'm much better off paying the daily rate to the car rental place.

Technically since my building has three units it counts as an apartment complex (as far as they are concerned). And they are dropping all of those.
The Garden Apartment having its own address is nothing but a hassle! I wonder if I can get it...decomissioned or something.
