The old Tom and Jerrys too. Steinbeck's a passion of mine, a passion. Three years ago I set out to read everything the man ever wrote and it took a year and a half to complete. Get me started on the archetypes in East of Eden or the humanism that undergirds To a God Unknown some time. Man oh man, re-read Grapes of Wrath as an adult who's experienced some disappointment instead of a teenager who can barely grasp the concept some time.Paul Anaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05777487147630173644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-86596747564696911442010-01-17T02:51:05.308-05:002010-01-17T02:51:05.308-05:00I hate missing out on iconic stuff like that thoug...I hate missing out on iconic stuff like that though.

Nobody suffers sticker shock worse than I do, but one of the many benefits to good sheets is that they last forever.Paul Anaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05777487147630173644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-3800361505166615052010-01-16T18:15:57.111-05:002010-01-16T18:15:57.111-05:00I keep buying less than "lovely" sheets ...I keep buying less than "lovely" sheets for my stupid king sized bed because I cringe at the price of really nice ones and then, of course, am never happy with the ones I buy.

I'm surprised to learn that it's not but boy am I glad I know now. I usually buy myself a new set of sheets every year and I'll be holding onto this article for the next time I go on a sheet buying adventure.Paul Anaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05777487147630173644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-85883681153919651742010-01-16T14:39:24.069-05:002010-01-16T14:39:24.069-05:00All marketing, like "no turn" matresses....All marketing, like "no turn" matresses.

I have been duped by the high thread count number when ordering sheets online and was extremely disappointed by the product but didn't understand why it was not what I was expecting. To me there is nothing better than slipping into nice luxurious sheets at the end of a really long day!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06642498848764240773noreply@blogger.com
