FaithManor Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Seriously, I'm heading to Kohl's for their ladies cashmere sweaters that are on sale dirt cheap for dd and our honorary dd. Then to JcPenney for a sweater for self and jockey's for dh. I'm a little freaked. We've been staying pretty close to home and haven't been buying clothing or other type items that bedbugs are attracted to. Now I'm feeling really paranoid and of course one CANNOT WASH CASHMERE IN HOT WATER OR THROW IT IN THE DRYER TO KILL THE LITTLE DEVILS! Talk me down from the cliff or I might need valium just to shop this Christmas season. Faith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FaithManor Posted December 2, 2010 Author Share Posted December 2, 2010 Mariann, I think that technically, my valium is supposed to be "a life of prayer". However, this bedbug thing just CREEPS me out! So, if I must shop tonight and no one has placating words of peace and good will and bedbugs are not currently inhabiting Kohl's and JcPenney, then I am afraid that I will be INHALING ALL THE LEGALIZED SEDATIVES THAT I CAN GET MY HANDS ON! However, I'll try really, really hard to save a little for you my dear online buddy! Faith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeFe Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 I didn't realize the bedbugs were still a big issue. I haven't seen much about them the past few weeks. This is when I like my ignorance! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few weeks ago, I went back and forth making and canceling hotel reservations b/c www.bedbugregistry.com had some mis-information (someone had mixed up two hotels -- twice :001_huh:). But, this cashmere sweater thing, :ack2:; what's a shopper to do?????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanna Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Oh, I don't think this is a good time to buy things that can't go in the washer or dryer. Maybe pick something else up for the girls?;) You can't beat shopping at Kohl's -- they're great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spryte Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Is this the Bedbug Paranoia Club? May I join? Please? We just returned from a family trip to NYC. We checked and triple-checked the bedbug registry. We grilled the bellhop who carried our bags to our room. He assured us that they even have dogs come weekly to check for bugs. (I had no idea dogs could sniff out bedbugs?!) I *still* think he was being secretive about bedbugs. We pulled apart every bed, checked the curtains, the seams of every upholstered item, and checked inside the drawers. ...And still, I did not sleep until after 3 am. 3 days in NYC, and not a sign of bedbugs anywhere. But I am still paranoid. We are home, everything has been washed and I am *still* jumpy! Crossing cashmere off the holiday shopping list...

I could not fall asleep for about 2 hours - I tossed and turned and made myself nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarlaS Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Every time I leave Kohl's, I have a nasty headache from the chemical off-gassing. I doubt any kind of insect would be living there (not for long anyway). I don't know why it's worse with Kohl's, than other stores, but it is.

twoxcell Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 What's is with the bedbug thing? This is the only place I've heard anything about it? Is it an East Coast thing or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
