Re: Couches? Fabrics?
AH, put me in the OCD category then too, I really dislike how microsuede *looks* because of the way the fabric rubs as well . That was the other reason I wasn't really considering it at first. Thanks for all the advice so far...would consider Ikea or Pottery Barn but the nearest Ikea is a few hours... |

Re: Couches? Fabrics?
Regarding Ikea slipcovered couches... I have two, the Ektorp sectional and the sofa. The sectional is the beige color and the sofa is white (I have a living room and a family room, just so that you don't think I have some whacky decorating scheme going on.) The pros are that they are definitely was... |

Re: Couches? Fabrics?
Hi, for sure you need the measurements. We picked out a great set of furniture and ended up having to exchange it because what we thought looked great in the showroom looked terrible in our house. It was all about lay-out and we picked a sectional and instead a couch and two chairs w/ottomans looke... |

Re: Couches? Fabrics?
My only advice is to shop with your living room measurements. Sofas and couches look a lot smaller in a giant showroom. When dh and I first moved in together, we picked out a set with sofa, loveseat and armchair.....We ended up having to return the armchair, because it made it impossible to walk in ... |

Re: How attractive do you think you are?
I call myself an 8. I think there is more to it than physical. I am physically attractive BUT I need to lose the 10 lbs I gained last year.

Re: How attractive do you think you are?
With or without make up? I can go from a 5 to a 10 in about 20 minutes! It's amazing what a shower, a quick hair blowout and well applied make-up can do for a woman  In all honesty, I think at the ripe age of 40, I'm aging well among my age peers...so I gave myself an 8. |

Re: Yes/No...should parents reward their kids for...
I think kids should be rewarded for good grades, but they should not know about it beforehand....and money should not be the only motivaton for good grades.

[quote="Zoe|1364352052|3414231"]Sonnyjane, here's an article on why learning cursive is important. It has to do with fine motor control and brain development. Also, fun fact, apparently January 23rd is National Handwriting Day. :bigsmile: http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/memory-medic/20... |

Re: The lost art of handwriting...
Yes, I personally use cursive everyday when I take notes at meetings etc. I find it much faster than printing. My kids are 10 and 8 and they are learning cursive at school still.
