I had a not-so-great mother, who liked to deprive me of things we could easily have paid for. When I went to college, she didn't buy me anything, and I bought my own twin sheets with the money I made from my job and I didn't know to get twin xl and so they didn't fit. So I had sheets that I just had to lay on even though they literally didn't attach to the bed at the bottom. My duvet thing didn't fit either. My roommate complained that the room didn't look good because of it.

Pottery Barn Teen has a dorm room supplies build-your-bed feature, and I can spend hours choosing various Love Shack Fancy sheet, duvet, throw, and throw pillow combos.


Why didn’t you return the sheets and get a set that fit?


It's entirely possible that PP didn't know they could be returned. People who grow up deprived (necessity or for other reasons) often don't know things other people simply assume everyone knows

You should re-read the assignment.


DP. That is the assignment.


No, it's WANT to buy, not buy

I have this saddle and I have to say, it is the absolute best saddle I have ever ridden in. I bought it after my dad died, which is also when I bought my horse. I grew up riding with him. Check out used CWDs - the prices can be good and they hold up well.


Used saddles, like used cars, are the way to go! You'll be amazed at how much you can save on what's basically just like new.

I don't need one, but I would love to have a competitive dressage horse who is also good on the trails. I don't need one, but I would also love a beautifully restored car from the 1950s.

I had one as a child and I love browsing the catalogue. No appropriately aged kids to buy it for.

Though I know using them will not give me the kind of skin that they have - nevertheless I have this irrational urge to try them just to see on my own.

Ha!


Oh that Jane Seymour anti-crepe lotion is like an earworm in my brain. She’s so old and she has NO CREPE!


DP. I bought it last week. Just arrived.

Apparently the Tiffany heart bracelet is back because my 16yr old would like one and thank goodness I saved mine because those suckers now retail for $625! There’s no way I paid that back in 1999. Wow.
