This is a weird one...but I lived in a really cheerp place once with some electrical wiring on the outside of my unit. Two months after living there, my electricity went from $15/month to $250 a month. Electrical company would do nothing. The month after my next door neighbors moved out, it went back to $15! I am sure they were somehow tapping into my wiring and I was paying for their electricity, too. This is the same place that, the day I moved in and went to order a pizza for my friends for helping me move, I found out that the pizza places wouldn't deliver to my neighborhood because it was to dicey :/ I moved out the day my lease was up!

I have just...obscene...amounts of yarn and fabric. Rather than beat myself over the head for it, I decided to think of it as smart planning. When the zombies come, I'll be the one with all the supplies to keep people in clothes for years and years *mwahahahahaha*

I don't think rumpled means messy. I "make" my bed every day, but all that entails is pulling the duvet cover up to the pillows and maybe flopping the sides a bit to get it to puff back up. I love the soft, rumpled, cozy look and think that platform beds with precicely folded corners and everything tucked sternly under the bed look so cold and stark and uncomfortable. it's just an aesthetic, not a value judgement on messy vs. clean :)

I just recently became par of the cult of the duvet, lol. I can't tell you how luxurious it feels to me to pull that duvet up over me at night, the crinkly feathers inside, the soft down, the puffiness. Hearing the cats try to walk REALLY TALL as they traverse the other side of the bed looking for a place to lay, lol. I LOVE it :) I got a queen cover and two shams online...I think it was Amazon...for around $60. I LOVE it so much. I'm thinking about getting one or two more at Ikea, because they're only $35 there and they have several patterns I love.

But yeah, when I first started looking for duvet covers, I had a heart attack. They can be over $1,000!!!!! Luckily, I just comparison shop online forever until something I like comes down into my price range :)

I used to use the chair method, but I recently redid my bedroom and the chair is now on the opposite side of the room. I bought an over the door hook set-up and that's where I hang my jeans, work pants, bras, etc. that have been worn once or twice or even three times, but can still be worn again :) My closet is narrow, but pretty deep, so I can close the door to hide them, but they don't interfere with the all the way clean clothes hanging in there :) I love it and will never go back to being a chair person again!

It would have been nice if you could indicate what each poultice is used for....

Oh man, such guilty feelings over this one.

I can't seem to brush my teeth without the water running. Over the last 4-5 years, I've been able to cut back to keeping the water off until the final steps, but then toothpaste goes everywhere and I need the running water to dip my toothbrush under every 2 seconds. And yes, I've tried using a cup of water, but it just doesn't work for me. This is the only way I can brush my teeth :(

I shower in the morning. I sleep alone, but with two cats. I have always changed my sheets whenever they feel funky, which is usually a week to a week and a half. I have many different sets of sheets...I'm a bit of a sheet whore, lol...so I change them more often than I wash them...then I do a big load or two of all the sheets in hot water and have a linen closet full of delicious sheet sets to start all over again :) I usually change my mattress pad every 3-4 sheet changes. I usually wash the blankets on my bed every 3-4 sheet changes, as well.

Now, my son....I change his sheets weekly, as well as all the blankets and mattress pad. He's a stinky, dirty boy even with his taking a bath at night, lol.

I have mostly cotton sheets, in the 200-350 thread count range. I have maybe 3-4 sets of flannel sheets, about 4-5 of plain sheets. One set is bamboo. I have never "worn out" a set of sheets, so I don't even know what that's about...maybe if you only have one set that happens? I dunno. I have sets of sheets that I've had for over 15 years. The elastic on the fitted sheet is a bit questionable, lol, but the actual sheets are still perfect.

yes, I am a sheet addict and I'm not ashamed to admit it!

Um...no. Yes, one CAN use an old sweater to make a pillow...but not this one. It's pretty unattractive and lumpy :(

ooOoOooh, I've never heard of these, but I am a huge toasted sesame bagel fan. Now I want one!
