long; Cal King is 72 inches wide and 84 inches long. Maybe you just need to rotate the sheet.

depends on if you are 4 feet 11 inches or 5 feet 9 inches...
don't you think?
That is 5 feet 4 inches. nm
:
I am 5 feet 2-1/2 inches. nm
:
should be 5 feet 8 inches

Maybe a couple inches my way...sm
not much, and it has pretty much melted away now. Very windy last night, though. Had the trusty generator ready just in case. Sorry you have to deal with so much of the white stuff. You know how hard it is to predict the weather out here, so keeping my fingers crossed they are wrong about your area getting more. Have a hot toddie (sp?) and keep warm!
12 inches is not deep pocket--sm
12 inches is barely even standard these days. Mine is 21 inches deep. I need 22 inch deep sheets to at least stay on. You shop around and see where you can find that size for under 200 dollars. If you do, let me know!
Oh really? Even if they say accummulation of 1-3 inches, that won't stick? sm
LOL! I have no idea! It has to stick. It just has to. I mean, then that won't really matter if it doesn't stick!! I'll post pics when it's all over! haha
We are up to 5 inches of snow since this AM with more coming...sm
along with some ice by time my husband needs to drive home. I have no idea why we stay in Ohio! I cant wait for summer to come!!!!
Nope. Still 2 inches of snow on it!

5 feet 11 inches tall that is, why you cannot put - sm
quotation marks for inches on this is annoying.
A few inches of VERY wet snow for us just north of Montgomery, AL -nm

Lower NY state north of NYC, getting hit with sleet and ice! Few inches of it now. :( nm

My desk is about 6 inches high with papers =(. I have two labs & a yorkie on the floor next to me.
I wish I had time to clean my messy desk. I work so much better in a clean office.
Any Burger King commercial. That king is just creepy. nm

I only have the mattress pad, not the whole mattress, and it is heavenly. sm
I have lifelong back pain, and the memory foam is outstanding. I can't afford the full mattress, but one of these years I will. Until then, the 2-inch mattress pad has made a world of difference.
mattress question
I saw an advertisement for some type of bed that showed a woman sitting on the bed alongside a glass of wine, and the point was that the mattress absorbed movement to such a degree that you could sit down on the bed and the glass wouldn't spill. A newly married friend of mine has trouble sleeping in the same bed with her husband because his movement disturbs her all night, so I was trying to remember which mattress that was so I could suggest it to them. If you remember, please let me know, and if you have one, please let me know how you like it! Thanks.
Simmons has a mattress that is
advertised for that problem. Sure enough, when we went to the bed store, that's what the salesman directed us to. DH is a flopper, and he's big. Light doesn't wake me up, noise rarely wakes me up, but having hubby flopping around on a mattress that transmits motion sure does.
Mattress shopping
Anyone have an opinion? Pillow top? Memory foam? I currently have moderately priced pillow top that I bought last winter that just goes on top of the mattress. I have been able to fluff it up until just recently, but there doesn't seem to be any more fluffing to be done.
Mattress shopping
Hi, had a pillow top (trying to give away, are you close) and husband hated it. I liked the snuggling sensation but he just complained and complained. Finally had to shut him up and bought a standard mattress. UGH Kept the mattress in a latex wrap the entire time, it is looking for a new home before going to the dump.
Mattress odor
OK, this is a little gross, but I know you ladies are a fountain of knowlege about all kinds of things, so I'm hoping you can help. My adult niece just left after spending 2 months living with us after a rough spot in her life. She slept in my college daughter's room in her bed. There is a bad smell in the room, and I can't get rid of it even after airing out the room for 2 days. I have traced it to the mattress, mainly at the foot of the bed. She had a cat in there with her but it smells nothing like cat urine, and there are no stains at all on the mattress. I honestly think it's some kind of weird body odor, probably from the feet, and seems to have permeated an area of the mattress. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do to try to get rid of this odor, short of dumping the mattress? I'll do it as a last resort, but I hate to spend the money to get a new one. HELP!
We just bought a new mattress - sm
It's a Sealy. Can't recall exactly which one but lower end on the price bracket. I think it was about 1000.00 for the mattress and box springs.
We had one of those air beds for a long time and I will never ever recommend one of those.
My husband also has back problems and needed a comfy mattress so he wanted that number bed thing. It was horrible. I would wake up with lower back pain that would stick with me half the day. His pain was worse too.
Not to mention the fact that his side of the bed sprung a leak so after about the first year or so, there was no adjusting it to a comfort zone. Had to pump it all the way up and by morning, it was completely flat and he was laying in a hole inside the foam frame. It was cheaply made, uncomfortable, and a HUGE rip off.
Go for a Sealy, it's worth it. I'm loving it.

Having community wide yard sale and
had it not been for this post I probably would not have checked my bracelets out. This was posted last week but I thought some that replied might be interested to know it was exactly like they thought, more expensive than just the average and collectable.
Me too - more of a road block really, flat and wide. :) Also known as ,
Apple A$$ :)
An unfortunate trait inherited from my mother's side of the family.
Last night I patched my air mattress with....sm
I patched my air mattress with a grain of uncooked rice and some Gorilla Glue! LOL!! I put the rice in, put gobs of Gorilla Glue on it - it was a huge hole, and held a peice of duct tape on there a little while, then left it that way all night. This morning it was sealed! We refilled it all the way with air and it is holding just fine!
Aww! I loved that movie. Worst yet was Eyes Wide
Don't worry about it being too sexy. You won't be awake for those parts. The movie will put you to sleep in no time.
Doesn't she still live in that trailer? Or has she graduated to a double wide? lol

single wide are only kind to depreciate; hard to get loan

But this is not a school-wide accepted teaching practice, it is individual (nm)

But 275-pound footbal players are taller than 5 feet, therefore not so wide. nm

Two come to mind, a lamb's wool mattress topper - sm
for my mom that I knew she really, really wanted so I saved up (over $200 and I was in college at the time so not a lot of $ to go around), sent in a money order to Sharper Image and got it. The other was this great antique RCA mirror for my DH (he collects antique RCA signs and such), very unique, he loved it, and it hangs in our living room now.
You can check prices on line at places like Wal-Mart and 1-800-Mattress, etc.

Despise that wide-open mouth yawn right in front of my face w/o a hand or arm up to cover it.

why would Larry King ask him that
who allows the media to ask a question like this?
Boy you pay a lot for sheets! - I have a king - sm
that is a 12" thick mattress and I have 3 sets of sheets for the bed, and I know I did not pay more than $40-$50 for my "deep" pocket sheets (I have 2 sets of those) at JC Penney's. Shop around you can still get good quality and not pay through the nose.
Calorie King
I have not tried that but I have found an awesome website called Kimkins.com I first saw it on a magazine cover and then found the website. It costs a one fee of $60.00 to join but there are so many helpful tips and plans. Amazing stories by others and has a forum for people to help each other out. I started last week and cannot wait to weigh next week after bootcamp. Let me know what you think
Calorie King
Hear - hear - I'm with you on this one! I have been sipping water and not munching while working this month, and got a gazelle slider a month ago. I set it up right next to my desk, so I have to go way around it every time I get up, and I get on it every 2 hours. Its working! I will look up your calorie king and Kimkins. Something has got to work!!
I am Jewish but can tell you that King..sm
while the New Testament doesn't have everything older that the Old Testament has, the Christian Bible that I also have, the King Jame's version of The Holy Bible, does, indeed, have the 5 Books of Moses from the Old Testament! Just FYI. 
Heather on Larry King . . .
I found it interesting that she said Paul sent her flowers for the opening of Dancing with the Stars - the card said "To Mummy, from Daddy and Beatrice" - cute. She also said if it were left up to them, they wouldn't have a problem, it's the lawyers who are nasty.
Very good. If you can't find another use for the King...
sheets, you can cut the corners and still use them.
My hubbie and I went to see Lion King
and we just wore church attire, I wore a skirt and shirt and he wore Khakis and a button down shirt. For a matinee though I think whatever would be fine :-) Have fun the Lion King Is AWESOME!!!! I would definately pay to see it again!
King Charles dog question
I have been looking at this breed. Lost my Tasha this May, she was 16 1/2, part chow/lab. Starting to look and someone through a friend offered me a King Charles but it was from a puppy mill and had a 4/6 murmur at age 9 months. The breeder said and I quote "my puppies are good for 5 years so what's the problem." Talked to my vet and passed on that puppy but the breed sure caught my eye. I think I want a littler dog, Tasha was 55 pounds, and I love sikly hair and rather than the shorter hair. So if you don't mind answering a few questions, e-mail me -- thanks and congrats on the new addition to the family. Patti
Unfortunately that is what happens when you cage the king of the jungle
I don't go to zoos anymore, but I found as a child the saddest exhibits were the big cats, just pacing and pacing the perimeter of their enclosure, so very very sad.
Gotta love The King of Queens! : )

Since Maine is Stephen King's state
LOL
My parents both went to college with Stephen King
and he lives right up the street from my parents.
Pumba. Reminds of Lion King. LOL...sm
She is a pretty kitty and sitting under the tree like she is a gift for someone. lol
Did anyone see Tammy Faye interview with Larry King?
I was shocked by her appearance, poor thing. She was only 65 pounds. SHe was so brave to go on national TV in her condition, and so upbeat. I never knew much about her except from the PTL scandal until I saw her on Surreal Life, and she came across as very down to earth and likeable.
sapphires, Dairy Queen or Burger King?

Any Stephen King fans out there? Reminiscent of Captain Tripps? - nm
