I was looking at Bed Bath and Beyond the other day - regular pillows$40-60 and the stay cool one I wanted was $90.  So, I went to target and bought a great stay cool one from $15 and it is comfortable. We don't usually spend more than $12-15 on a pillow.  I wash them regularly and when they've reached their max life, I just chuck them.

 

I would but redneck is hugely picky with his pillows - he wants buckwheat now *sigh*

Related side story: my parents insisted on down blankets and pillows when I was growing up.  Even our sofa had down.  I was forever sick with sinus infections and puffing on an inhaler.

 

Move out, discover that I can actually breathe at night when I don't use a down comforter.

 

16 years of torture over some stupid feathers.

Speaking of goose down, we haven't seen stretch. 

She must be plucking her chicken like crazy...

I've been busy ripping off 4 layers of wallpaper and god knows how many layers of paint off the wall. 

I'm taking a break a few minutes before I go pick up the Tornado, from scraping off popcorn ceiling. I hate that stuff they put it in every room including the bathrooms:girlwerewolf2xn:
