Hope all went well Crankin, as I am sure it did!

Trek, your new place sounds great, glad you and Knotted are happy with it! Give her my best.

My new bed was delivered today - so I decided to get a set of new sheets as the mattress is thicker than my old one. Went online and searched for sheets for mattresses that are x inches thick and my jaw dropped. SALE prices were well over $100, with "regular" prices much higher than that and I'm not talking about 600 count Egyptian cotton sheets either. For full size sheets, it isn't like I've a "California King". What kind of dope are they smoking? I went to Bed Bath & Beyond and found a nice set of buttery soft sheets that fit great for <$50. Perhaps I'm in the wrong business. It's also the first time I've looked around that particular store and I can see that I need to be careful about when I return.

I don't need to buy sheets very often, but I was really shocked at the prices - and that I found much better prices at local stores than online.
