  1. I saw Tartanic last year at the Renfest in Texas. They are so awesome! I can't wait to see them again. Have you ever heard of Clann an Drumma? Check out their video "Culloden" on youtube.
  2. Unfortunately it happens to me all the time. I usually have to do a combo of lots of Tylenol, a heating pad and a facial massage from my wonderful hubby.
  3. Now look what you did! I just discovered that Ikea has a Hemnes sofa table that would look perfect in my living room! Road trip this weekend!
  4. I was still typing my previous post when you posted this. Yes, it fits a standard king mattress. We did not buy the slate and I think that is where our problem was. As I posted earlier, we had to buy a huge sheet of plywood and put that in under the box spring and mattress. We tried it without first and it felt like the mattress was going to fall through to the floor. I could stand to lose a few pounds but I'm not that heavy! Lol!
  5. We have the Hemnes king size bed, 8 drawer dresser, 6 drawer chest, mirror and 2 side tables. They are about four years old. As another poster mentioned, I think a lot of it has to do with how the furniture is put together. My husband, who is very handy, took his sweet time putting each piece together. It took him days to get it all done, he used wood glue in addition to the million screws and pegs that came with the furniture. Our house will fall down before this furniture comes apart. Lol. That being said, we are pretty easy on our bedroom furniture so it all looked brand new until we moved this summer. After that almost every piece had 2 or 3 scratches on it. Our furniture is dark brown/black so I covered it with a black magic marker. It looks good as new again! I also wanted to mention that we have a sheet of plywood under our mattress because the bars they provided to hold the mattress up did not seem very sturdy. Long story short. It is not the best made stuff out there and you will have to be gentle with it. I have to keep my three year old from hanging on the drawers. If you are really hard on your furniture you might want to spend more money on something more heavy duty. For our family though it's beautiful furniture at a great price!
  6. We live in SA north of Stone Oak and we got some rain Friday night, but nothing today. My son had a soccer clinic this evening and it was so humid I was melting.
  7. Bacon, I bought a pack about a month ago and it was $2.49, the same as it has been forever. Last week it had gone up to $4.00. Seriously? They didn't even have the decency to let the price creep up. They just hiked it up all at once. On a good note, I usually pay 2.99 a lb. for chicken breasts but I found it on sale for 1.87 lb. I bought 12 packs!!
  8. Thanks! I really don't know anything about the Bears. I'll have to look into them. Wait, I'm supposed to be narrowing down my choices not adding to them. Oh well!:lol:
  9. Maybe you ladies can help me. I am having an identity crisis of sorts. I love, love, love Brett Favre. I know what you're going to say but I still love him. Anyway, I don't know what to do now that he has retired. I really like Aaron Rodgers and I think he is going to have an awesome career! I also like Clay Matthews for obvious reasons! But I love Colt McCoy (hey, I'm from Texas) and you just can't get much better than Tom Brady. Do you see a pattern developing here? Hehe. I just don't know who to root for this year. I can't stand Dallas or Tony Romo and Houston is just so lame (the team not the city). What do you think?
  10. If it were me I would demand that the boys be a package deal. There is no way in the world I would let her take two of your children and leave one out. She is horrible for suggesting it and I would tell her so.
