...and went shopping for a wedding present.    

Nice bike!!

Looks like Bell Square!   AUGH!!!

It is, lord help us - but I live close by, and I wanted to get the prezzies on the way home.

Oh - I used my refund to order a Hotbodies undertail for the SV.  I tried cleaning up the fender, as you can see, but the plastic is just too soft to work with well.  I make holes for the turn signals, and the bike's vibration enlarges them.

I used to live right up the street from there...  And for some unknown reason I'd let my wife drag me there once or twice a year...

:x HELL!

It's getting worse too...  I was there the other day I had to go to Zales for the ring inspection... I wasn't shopping...  But yeah...  It's getting more and more like the Beverly Center every day...

HORRID!

It's fine as long as you know what you're looking for and make a beeline for it, then leave.

Yeah...  Unlike the Beverly Center...  That place is the worst...  Every store is some over-priced name brand that I've either never heard of or would never wear...

I just shop at Target.   :lol:

I'm looking around my apartment and seeing a lot of Target and IKEA.  

IKEA used to be super cheap...  Not so much any more.  But...  I'm typing away on my IKEA desk right now.

After spending my whole adult life with a futon, I finally got an IKEA bed - the bed and the mattress together were less than a mattress alone at the Sleep Country down the street.

My wife is in charge of that stuff...  She went out and spent a bucket of cash on the "Bowling ball" mattress.   :dunno:

I'd just sleep on the floor and spend the money on beer...   :lol:

I'm discovering a color theme.  

That's not a futon?  It so low...

My wife got a 4-poster that's about 7 feet off the ground...  I get vertigo just trying to get out of bed in the morning.

When she found me I was sleeping on a foam single on the floor.   :lol:   It was free...   :dunno:

Oh, is that how you got your username?   :lol:

Yep, it's an honest-to-god bed... I can hide under it, as long as my head doesn't have to fit all of the way under.  :p  And the mattress actually has springs.

Yeah...  I can't even wear shoes that are too tall...   Ropeswing incident when I was 15... Almost died...  Screwed up my back for about 6 years...  Still have nightmares... All that good stuff.

I'm better than I was though.

That bed looks like it's 4" off the ground...  I don't even think I could get my boots under there.

OK, I just tried to slide under the damn thing.  I run up against the side board... er... before I reach my head.

I know I can fit under the slats, though, from putting it together; they're higher than the side boards.

I guess you need a Plan B for the home invaders...

I just keep my friend Louie by the bed...    It's far too dusty under my bed...

Ja, the only thing I really wanted that I think would have done some good is a good big dog.  Like my sister's Golden.

I dunno...  My Louisville Slugger scared off some dipshit that walked in my slider while I was sitting in the next room...   :x

He hopped a 7' fence in one jump.  

I chased him a while, but I guess he could run faster scared than I could angry...  Plus I was in my slippers. :dunno:

Oooh, I thought you meant a dog.  When I once again have a place of my own, I will have a big dog.
