Pluggers by Rick McKee for October 01, 2023

Never understood the concept??

This pile of pillows on the bed is one of the stupidest ideas ever. What practical NEED do they serve? NONE! Load them up and haul them to the homeless shelter where they are NEEDED.

I get my own bedroom. Shortwave radio, over-the-air TV, computer, dust and friendly spiders. Oh, a homemade bed made with plywood and a seasoned single foam mattress. Every so often the dog gets under the covers. Wife’s bedroom is immaculate, except maybe when I visit.

No problem : No Wife and I use an NCIS “Gibb’s” bed ;-)

Show beds? Who do they show them to?

This has to be fake. That clock is showing 10:25, and no Plugger stays up that late.

I never understood making it a “show bed.” How many people inspect your bedroom?! All them stupid pillows!

i’m a minimalist & don’t want “stuff”. This would make me nuts.

I’ve seen people stack them on the floor at night, then put them back on the bed in the morning. They’re decorative, ‘non functional’ pillows ONLY.

We don’t have a show bed mode or house beautiful or ornamentals in the yard. Constant evolution.

Apparently that battle is one that cannot be won. One of the emperors of Austria slept on a military cot in his office. I’m sure he had great sheets though.

Extra pillows on the bed are for the dog to sleep on, also extra blanket s! Since the dog and I allegedly snore our bed isn’t Shared or showy. Or much visit ed by the queen who has the master bedroom king size bed to herself.

A waste of time, if you ask me.

Hilarious!

Oh yeah… don’t forget there is a right way to stack the pillows when you take them off the bed…. LOL

My wife always yells “You don’t get the concept of throw pillows!” and I say “I threw it on the floor. What’s not to get?”

Your bedroom is supposed to be a haven not a dust mite poo collecting paradise .

Many Pluggers have a show bedroom for the show bed. AKA, the guest room, aka, one of the kids’ former bedrooms.

I quit making my bed years ago when I went thru menopause. I had the Night Sweats From Hell™ for several years & needed to let the bed dry out in the morning. Now I just don’t bother – there’s no one else around to impress anyway! #TheJoyOfLivingAlone

Second cousin to “Don’t use those towels! They’re for show. Use the other one”

Another reason I’m no longer married.

What’s worse are “show rooms” …usually living rooms, where one is absolutely prohibited from living unless a posh party is in progress.

I guess they’re called “throw” pillows for a reason. :)

I feel the same way about a beautifully crafted meal offering or cake. I hate to mess it up by eating it.

I’m helping my brothers clear out my Mom’s house after her death. I literally threw thirty throw pillows out of one bedroom. WTH!

For me multiple pillows just mean extra comfort. Though I do avoid getting any of the nice ones messy.

For the love of god, man! Don’t do it!!

I’m with him…..

I call ‘em drone pillows.

The only time I make the bed is when I change the sheets. Mostly it’s just a rumpled mess. When I am ready for bed, I get in it and go to sleep.

She likes the pillows, she gets the pillows. All over on her side of the bed. Period.

Only bed which has throw pillows is the spare bed in “the teddys room”.

In 35 or so years in the house we have guests 3 times – and they were my niece and nephew when they were \very young and doing something with us the next day – so the teddy bears – big collection – .got the bed for themselves.

When I do embroidery of teddy bear related designs I make them into throw pillows and put them around the wall edges of the spare bed in their room that many of them sit on.

When it comes to our bed – since Covid started – I don’t even make the bed in the morning any longer.
