Boy you pay a lot for sheets! - I have a king - sm

In Reply to: I don't know where you shop, but Target has them for under 100 - sm
that is a 12" thick mattress and I have 3 sets of sheets for the bed, and I know I did not pay more than $40-$50 for my "deep" pocket sheets (I have 2 sets of those) at JC Penney's. Shop around you can still get good quality and not pay through the nose.

Any Burger King commercial. That king is just creepy. nm

It was not just about the sheets

fitted sheets--sm
I understand what you mean. Measure not only the height of the mattress, but measure the length, as well. California King sets vary in the length, I believe.
I had run into a problem when I bought a queen-sized pillow top. Mine measures 21 inches in height. Try and find oversized fitted sheets for that, which do not cost almost $300! I finally found some at 22 inches and they stay on very well. Prior to that, I had to buy 20 inch sheets and use the elastic clips, which look like garters, across all four corners. Those helped too.
I have turned those sheets every which way
but loose, have about 3 sets and nothing has been working. I am making notes of all these answers and check the mattress out. It is huge and thick so have to get the measuring tape out.
Followup to getting sheets to fit
What would I do without all this wonderful information? I took the information about measuring the mattress. I measured the width and length. They were Cal Kings and I had been buying the regular king and kept getting popped during the night with those sheets pulling off. A relief is here! I got Cal King and lo and behold, I have slept for the past 2 nights in perfect bliss. No more pulling away from the corners. Thanks to all for the suggestions!
Maybe dryer sheets between the
pages? That's a lot of dryer sheets.
When I was recently car shopping, looking at used cars, there was only one I sat in and instantly got out of due to that smell. They should Febreze a car before they show it to prospective buyers.
Towels and sheets are the one load
I never use softner sheets on because it seems like there is a waxy coating on them that I don't like. They don't seem as absorbent or clean-feeling. I take my own towels with me when I travel because at people's houses they feel coated with wax, and at hotels they have that fishy odor sometimes, like school gym towels - ugh. I think that smell comes from using bleach but then not drying them thoroughly before stacking. Yuck.
Can you rub fabric softner sheets on it?
I do that with my animals actually to help them with the static in winter. Or a spray bottle with water and some liquid fabric softner squirted over things. Easier and cheaper than 'Static Guard' in a can.
Good luck and congrats on your new furniture! 
bounce dryer sheets?
But, I don't know what it does to the paint...maybe someone else will chime in or maybe Google will have the answer :o)
why would Larry King ask him that
who allows the media to ask a question like this?
Calorie King
I have not tried that but I have found an awesome website called Kimkins.com I first saw it on a magazine cover and then found the website. It costs a one fee of $60.00 to join but there are so many helpful tips and plans. Amazing stories by others and has a forum for people to help each other out. I started last week and cannot wait to weigh next week after bootcamp. Let me know what you think
Calorie King
Hear - hear - I'm with you on this one! I have been sipping water and not munching while working this month, and got a gazelle slider a month ago. I set it up right next to my desk, so I have to go way around it every time I get up, and I get on it every 2 hours. Its working! I will look up your calorie king and Kimkins. Something has got to work!!
I am Jewish but can tell you that King..sm
while the New Testament doesn't have everything older that the Old Testament has, the Christian Bible that I also have, the King Jame's version of The Holy Bible, does, indeed, have the 5 Books of Moses from the Old Testament! Just FYI.
$300 for SHEETS? Try Wal-Mart, Target, or Ross!

fabric softener anyone? Bounce sheets?
so towels do get that musty odor.......but I find fabric softener works REALLY well.......no complaints so far
oh and I use TIDE with bleach (also works on colored clothes) for washing......(but I love the smell of Gain, just think Tide washes better)
Thanks for the idea!! Never thought of the softner sheets! nm

sheets or liquid fabric softener?
do you find that one is better than the other with line drying?
Heather on Larry King . . .
I found it interesting that she said Paul sent her flowers for the opening of Dancing with the Stars - the card said "To Mummy, from Daddy and Beatrice" - cute. She also said if it were left up to them, they wouldn't have a problem, it's the lawyers who are nasty.
Very good. If you can't find another use for the King...
sheets, you can cut the corners and still use them.
My hubbie and I went to see Lion King
and we just wore church attire, I wore a skirt and shirt and he wore Khakis and a button down shirt. For a matinee though I think whatever would be fine :-) Have fun the Lion King Is AWESOME!!!! I would definately pay to see it again!
King Charles dog question
I have been looking at this breed. Lost my Tasha this May, she was 16 1/2, part chow/lab. Starting to look and someone through a friend offered me a King Charles but it was from a puppy mill and had a 4/6 murmur at age 9 months. The breeder said and I quote "my puppies are good for 5 years so what's the problem." Talked to my vet and passed on that puppy but the breed sure caught my eye. I think I want a littler dog, Tasha was 55 pounds, and I love sikly hair and rather than the shorter hair. So if you don't mind answering a few questions, e-mail me -- thanks and congrats on the new addition to the family. Patti
Unfortunately that is what happens when you cage the king of the jungle
I don't go to zoos anymore, but I found as a child the saddest exhibits were the big cats, just pacing and pacing the perimeter of their enclosure, so very very sad.
Does anyone have any good links for homeschool sheets for 1st grade? sm
I am now homeschooling my 1st grader, but didn't want to "buy" a cirriculum. I was hoping to find some websites online I could use as kind of a guide and print out some worksheets from. TIA!
Gotta love The King of Queens! : )

Since Maine is Stephen King's state
LOL
My parents both went to college with Stephen King
and he lives right up the street from my parents.
Pumba. Reminds of Lion King. LOL...sm
She is a pretty kitty and sitting under the tree like she is a gift for someone. lol
Did anyone see Tammy Faye interview with Larry King?
I was shocked by her appearance, poor thing. She was only 65 pounds. SHe was so brave to go on national TV in her condition, and so upbeat. I never knew much about her except from the PTL scandal until I saw her on Surreal Life, and she came across as very down to earth and likeable.
sapphires, Dairy Queen or Burger King?

Think what you need are called deep pocket sheets. Try Linens n Things, Bed and Bath, JCP. nm

This native NYorker agrees! Nice restaurant meal & clean sheets

Any Stephen King fans out there? Reminiscent of Captain Tripps? - nm

A King mattress measures 78 inches wide, 80 inches..
long; Cal King is 72 inches wide and 84 inches long. Maybe you just need to rotate the sheet.
