Amen to that! NEVER let them see the checkbook - just give them an allowance!

You'd think so, wouldn't you! It will probably feel that way if I ever do get this thing made! We have a king bed with a 22 in. deep mattress!

My mother does, and in my younger years I used to feel sorry for her. Then I grew up and realized SHE'S the one who picked him, and actions have consequences.

I feel your pain! We bought a new bed a little over a year ago, with an 18" drop.
I am in for making some monster sized quilts, or putting on a white bedspread and making long bed runners and shams.
I want at least a couple that "fit"

My dd married a man that i really tried to talk to both of them about...(really incompatible), but they just "had to do it".
Thank goodness their are no children.
Sometimes the price you pay for poor judgement is higher than is deserved

My old viking died, repair man said $99.50 for repair and they don't make parts for this anymore... came home with it...told DH about it and looked sad....I'll go to thrift shop to see if I could find one I said. No he said, you will only buy someone else's problems...get a new one. OK, I had already been looking for a new one, so that evening ordered one from ALLBRANDS. Happy camper!!!!

My DH and I have a great system for our Hobbies - we share with each other what we're doing, working on, etc. but he pays for his, I pay for mine and as long as we can do that, we don't really 'care' what the other one does. It works for us! I will say he did splurge for me Christmas and hired a house cleaner since between work, quilting, taking care of other family members, there weren't enough hours left in my day! Gotta Love the man
