My wife presumes this 'psychic connection' all the time, and it drives me bonkers... I'm not really sure, but I think lissa just pulled the same routine, here.
Respectfully,

P.S.
By "ruminations", I don't mean to imply that women are ruminants.

I totally agree. I've put together a bed, a dresser, a bookcase, and two end tables. I didn't even have any leftover parts! And the bed has been tested to withstand force.
IKEA is wonderful. Easy to put together and very durable. Definitely KaySky approved!
Hey dunno if you heard about this, but here (UK) a couple of weeks ago IKEA in London had a sale on and apparently all hell broke loose as people barged each other to reach the store! Some poor guy was knifed and several fights ensued aswell as people abandoning their cars along the motorway (Freeway) to reach the store. It was total pandamonium!! Must be some kinda furniture!!! Was Jesus the carpenter or something?

Well, Friday night is pizza night in my household, so I hope that helps. And in reference to the mattress tags, I guess the good old USA just doesn't know how to have fun. Maybe I should consider moving. England sounds like fun.

Pizza and Beer: The two MOST important food groups.
Pizza huh? I was going more for fish tonight but shucks OK you swayed me :) Pizza it is. Maybe I'll have tuna as the topping.....No anchovies though yukkk!!
I emplore you consider England for many things; rolling landscapes, quaint shops and old world buildings, it's history, cricket, it's relatively low crime rate and it's wonderful theatre... But fun!!!! No I don't think so :)
We're still looking the meaning up in the dictionary.

Indigo that is hilarious! You really made me laugh with this. Nice observation.

LOL
if it makes you feel any better,
I've seen women do this to each other...
so often in e-mail someone will jump into a response to something that was discussed a month ago...
and I'm all???huh???
ruminatingly,
Maribeth AKA embers
and BTW I also love the IKEA...but I've put together the bookshelf where I've put some shelves in upsidedown or wrongly placed because the pieces weren't labled and the pictures weren't clear...
but maybe that is the problem, maybe women really CAN'T follow the directions?
I better not testify in the civil case, huh?
and regarding the mattress tags...
only NEW mattresses have them...
and I thought all the mattresses in the UK were at least a hundred years old
(now I'm gonna get it)

Ohhh.
Nah you're alright. Some matresses are!.... And would you believe people come from far afield to go around old stately homes here in England to see 'em.... Crazy world really....
...But back to the original question - why are they on your matresses over there in the US? What happens if you do pull the tags off? Is there like a matress police? Would you be arrested, fined, imprissioned sent to a far away land what?
I must know the world is becoming crazier with every post!!!

Here's a confusing one. I used to write accounting software. Every package I ever worked on had what was called a 'cash' account. The confusing bit is that if someone gives you money, you subtract the amount they gave you from that 'cash' account.
For four years I worked on accounting software and I still never understood that one.

Ehg, I agree. "Intestines *on* a spit" is called Kolokokaretsia (sp?) -- it's been generally outlawed in Europe as a health hazard! I couldn't agree more. Pleh. Still, the folks in Crete usually interprete the law as merely a "suggestion". Generally though, I love Greek food (ok, though after living there for a few years I really, really wanted a burrito).
