Spouse insisted that our bed would have nine freakinâ pillows. That all had to be moved off every night and put back every morning. I tried to be reasonable. I tried being unreasonable. I tried hiding a couple of them. And I tried just tossing them over her side of the bed (she came to bed later than I did, in those days). Next option was move to the guest room, but I didnât have to do that, she finally agreed that I had a right to suggest changes to my very own bedâs decorâŠ
Sister bought a new couch ⊠3-seater, 78â long. With pillows, it seats two if theyâre intimate. âJust put them on the floor.â, she says; then even the dog is tripping over them; oh, no, sheâs making them into her bed.
Remember the âfadâ in the â50s, early â60s of getting a new couch and (generally at momâs insistence) getting the matching, form fitting thick clear plastic cover that rendered the thing so uncomfortable as to be useless? And some people wonder why Iâve never marriedâŠ
At my wifeâs insistence (and despite my vocal puzzlement) we have 5 throw pillows of various sizes (tho all with variations on a silvery fabric) that we keep on the bedroom floor until the day the house cleaners are due, at which point they go on the bed. We have never actually lain upon them or used them for anything.
Tough topic at our home. We both agree we need a new sofa. We also agree that finding one that doesnât look like something from an airport lounge or a corporate waiting room is going to be a long hunt.
Guess that goes along with the current style of condo/apartment house architecture â something from a futuristic prison movie. Reminds me of a song â something about boxes, little boxes, and theyâre all made out of ticky tacky.
Really, really, really wish we didnât have to move.

On the plus side: if you donât know what to get her you can always get her a new pillow.

Throw Pillows? It sounds like they are specifically made for Pillow Fights.

In my opinion, throw pillows are a worthless waste of money. Nice thing about being divorced, I donât have any throw pillows in my apartment.

My wife doesnât have a thing about throw pillows but I do have to deal with her horrendous bed-making. I mean whoof!
