Yep, @athenian. 8)

The blanket is the perfect weight for summer temps, too.

Thanks for your thanks! Woman Happy

 

I'm an Egyptian cotton lover for it's soft strength, but this ringspun blanket feels really nice.

 

Good to hear you have a pretty comfortable spare bed.

 

When I was doing my airbed research, I found out that if you use it directly on hardwood or other flooring, it will likely shift around.

Which has been happening, even though it's up aginst two walls.

 

So I'm getting the affordable gym/exercise mat (also multi-use) below from Walmart to put underneath.

Yoga and pilates mats could work as well, but just one wouldn't be long enough or wide enough, so several could get pricey.

 

Hope the one I receive is good and tacky.

The dude doesn't come with it, BTW. Woman Wink

 

Yeah, my previous microwave also thankfully worked for decades, and I didn't replace it until it finally bit the dust, LOL.

Yours could always have an unfortunate "accident", though... Woman Wink

@feline groovy,

 

The blanket looks soft even in your pic. I need another blanket like you know what...lolWoman LOL I have a weakness for nice bedding and linens. I just donated a bunch of towels and blankets to our local animal shelter. Now I have more room for, well you guessed it...more linens and things!Woman Very Happy

 

My airbed is really nice. I don't have hard floors, just carpet and the dang thing still wants to move around.Woman Frustrated Your mat idea is a good one. Yes it's too bad the hottie doesn't come with it though...darn!Woman LOL 

 

My microwave oven, oh dearWoman Surprised. I really don't mind that it still works well...it's just that it looks sooOO old. The thing isn't even called a "microwave" oven ...it's got a name on the front..."RADAR RANGE" ...LOL!Woman LOL

Um, here's the really great current microwave price at Walmart: 
Rollback 
Now: $38.18 
Was: $54.99 
Save $16.81 
Ya know, it could be your back-up for now... Woman Wink
 
Love that you donate linens to your local animal shelter; I do the same.
Wish more people knew that they're really needed and could donate as well.
 
BTW, I'm a big fan of throws, LOL, but they've got to be rectangular with a length at least as long as I am (68"), heh.
 
That's interesting about your airbed; hope the mat helps it stay in place.
 
"Radar Range" brings back memories!  Woman Very Happy
