I’m building a patio with stone pavers. I’ve already established about a 4" rock base. Now I’m going to put in an inch or so of a sand bedding before laying my pavers. I was wondering how long after I put in the sand bedding do I need to lay the pavers? Because it’s so hot and sunny, I’d like to put in the sand layer tonight and not lay the pavers until the morning. Will this cause any issues? Thanks!

I’m looking for a king size, 4-6 inch memory foam mattress pad. Right now Walmart has the best price of 5 for 6". I checked Amazon, Target, and Kohls and they are too pricey. Are there any other stores or trusty online sites that have what I’m looking for at a reasonable price (0 or below)? Thanks in advance

My parents are having a big garage sale next weekend and they are selling some decent stuff (i.e. furniture, etc.), so it should bring in a decent crowd as far as garage sales go. Anyway, I have a mattress and box spring set that’s been in my storage unit for 3.5 years and I’m going to put it in there. I think I paid 0/650 or so for the set when I bought it. I slept on it for a year and then put it in storage, so it’s about 4.5 years old. It’s queen size by the way.

How much should I list it for?

I’ve also got an older TV, which is about 27" in. What do you think? ? ?

I bought a 4" Spa Sensations Memory Foam mattress topper and it arrived this morning. It came tightly compressed to about 1 1/2 ". I’ve been letting it air out on a flat surface in my bed room with fans and fresh air all day/evening. I expected a strong chemical smell, but there was very little and it’s completely gone now. I really need to sleep on it tonight and besides, I have no where else I can put it. However, the instructions say to let it sit for up to 48 hours so it can fully expand. I just measured it and it’s almost at 4" now. Has anyone else bought one and slept on it the first night? I’m not going to like ruin it or anything by sleeping on it, am I?

I hate life now my dad thinks I’m some kind of smartass kid who can get straight A"s.8th grade I got c,d,b,f now I got aaab in standard classes so now he’s signed me up for mandarin Chinese and 4+ honors class’s and I don’t know what I’m Going to do. Also he’s making me do wrestling next year so I have to go to a wrestling summer camp (against my will) and I preordered Harry potter 7p2 tickets and I can’t go now which is making me upset because I used to be very suicidal when I was living in Ethiopia as a missionary kid and I read alot of Harry Potter books because the let me relax and think. I don’t want to do wrestling and I want to do swim team instead but he said I don’t have the potential to do swimming team and there’s no way in he’ll I’m going to juggle 4 highschool honors classes with mandarin chinese with a 3.5 hour practice Monday through saturday. I really suck at wrestling so I don’t want to do that either I’m really depressed because my dad uses all of our money to send people over to Africa to fund mission trips (I’m and atheist I don’t believe in that shit) so we can’t move out of our 3 bedroom house with 7 people in it so I am sleeping on a blowup mattress with my
Younger two brothers and My sisters In the room across my dad is also a cheap basterd and for Christmas he gave me 70$ to spend on clothes while he sent 4000$ over to Africa for his little missionary projects. I am doing swim team for my neighborhood now and I like it. Also my dad leaves the baby with me during the day and I watch it alot my father likes my siblings more he barely talks to me without a demand or choor never if he can help me out my mother is the only person I like in my family she also thinks my father is a dumbass as well. I just wanted to vent my feelings into something right now im on my "bed" on my cell phone (I worked for to buy) so anyone wanting to tell me ways I can relieve my stress would be greatly appreciated.

What company makes the softest duvet cover?

I need a cover for my down comforter and I’m really big on softness so I’m looking for an Egyptian cotton sateen cover. Nothing too heavy either. I want to spend no more than about 0. I’m considering The Company Store’s "Legends" Egyptian cotton comforter cover, but am wondering if you have any other suggestions. Thanks.

what is a good title ?

For an english project i wrote a poem about the book " If I have a wicked stepmother, where’s my prince" But i cannot come up with a sutible title can you give me any suggestions that might work … a short one would be nice

here is the poem

My name is Lucy,
I am an artist,
Like my mom was,
I used to live in California,
With my dad,
Just dad and me,
No mom,
Cancer took her when I was three.

Then dad met Mara,
Life changed,
We move,
Not across town,
Across country,
I had a stepmother,
And twin stepsisters,
The evil kind,
Like in Cinderella.

New state,
New house,
New school,
Hard to make friends,
Hard to fit in,
Hard to adjust.

I lived in the basement,
With an air mattress,
No bed,
My dad,
And evil step family above me,
A bit isolated and sad,
New rules,
New chores,
New life,
Just like Cinderella.

Time passed slowly,
I learned to like school,
Especially art class,
Made 2 friends,
The real kind,
Met a boy too,
He played basketball,
I though he might,
Be my prince charming,
Coming to the my rescue,
Even took me to the prom,
I wore a fancy dress,
But I was no Cinderella,
And I sure didn’t have,
A fairy godmother.

I did have,
A stepmother though,
I was learning to live,
With her rules,
I was beginning to adjust,
Then she bought me,
An easel,
For my 16th birthday,
The real kind,
An antique,
The kind I had always wanted,
A wicked stepmother,
Wouldn’t do that.

Dad gave me a painting,
My mother had painted,
For me,
To have,
On this special day,
I melted.

At the prom,
I didn’t lose my glass slipper,
I had lost my head,
Prince charming,
Or so I thought,
Wasn’t the one for me,
Perhaps I didn’t,
Need rescuing after all.

There was a nice guy,
His name was Sam,
He wasn’t a prince,
He was an artist like me…
i like that idea i was thinking somewhere along the lines of just lucy or me name is lucy… can you also rate my poem or at least tell me if you like it

help with air mattresses?

Hi,

can somebody suggest me a qualitative air mattress? I don’t need it very fancy, the only requirement is that it has to be long (tall), at least 85" because I’m really tall and i can barely fit in the one i have right now.
Thank you, John
