Our bed is very high...I'm 5'5" but need a stool, which WQ finds very amusing.

Here's the bed as shown on the site that sold me the woodworking plans:

Here it is complete in the Master bedroom (note the height of the mattress):

And the comforter, which is to be replaced, looks like a doily!

I'm going with the funicular. A Pittsburgh tradition.

That's better than my exit strategy........

A modified T111 canopy ain't my style. I have 68 minutes of free fall time under a nine cell zero P canopy. The most fun you can have wearing pants!

I MUCH prefer the 9 cell as well. I see too many people hurt themselves jumping the seven cells.

The guy who runs the jump zone jumps a seven cell and nothing else. They're fast, but tricky I've heard. Make mine the nine?

One time as a kid I was headed downstairs, wearing socks, wooden stairs........ I hit the second from the top step and next thing I know I'm standing on the first floor floor. Basically my heels bounced from edge of step to edge of step all the way down while somehow remaining upright.
Don't know how but talking about skydiving made me think about it......

I bet you actually watched that movie. Guys love it. I just won't.

That movie is a classic. We quote stuff from it all the time. Castle Anthrax was great: "But first, the oral sex...then the spankings!" "First me!" "Then me!"...
Or the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch: " And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it."
Lots of great stuff in that movie!

[grins sheepishly] Just sayin'...

LOL, I guess you just have to be a guy.

. . .or Chris.

I know plenty of women who like Monty Python. Why do you think only men would enjoy it?

Lots of men dressing up like women?

? That's a reason why women don't like it? Lol. I don't think so. I'm quite sure that plenty of women like it.

I agree that loads of women like MP, too. I think it's the "British" humor that puts some off. I found Benny Hill a riot, too...in a frantic, made-to-laugh way. Silliness taken to a high art form.

We call those 'meals on wheels' here.

Okay today's pop quiz (except you can skip the like and share part):

It helps if you know what a rabbet is, doesn't it?

If you'd like something a little more modern and less lofty, you might look into one of these:

I'd love one. The bed ain't so bad either

 

[Ringel05]

Went to bed at 10:30, wok up at 2:30........ Hopefully I'll go back to bed soon........

Well, today is my Sunday this week, and then my schedule is going to change drastically. Lol. I'll be working Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday days and Saturday and Sunday second shifts, and having Monday and Friday off. I like that. It's a nice break in the week. Work for 2 days have a day off, work for 3 days and have another day off. Hopefully I like this schedule.

I'm going to take my little one down to Diamond Peak for some skiing in a few hours. They have some nice beginner slopes.

It is beautiful but I would not want a bed that high at my age when I rarely make it through a night without having to get up once or twice.

 

[Foxfyre]

Snowing a lot here Sticking too. I had to chain up to get over the Buckhorn. My kids are probably hoping school will close tomorrow.

All kids hope school will close tomorrow. Unless they have something really great to take for show and tell.

I get up often through the night too. When I jump off the bed, there's that split second that I feel as of I'm falling rather than jumping to the floor. I called and left two messages with the store I bought the bedding. So far, no one has called back.

I wonder if I can just forget about the box spring and put the mattress on the slats?

Yes but you are still young and agile. At my age that is a problem though I'm a bit taller between 5'6' and 5'7'. When we went to Texas in December, we were offered my granddaughter's bed which is an oversized queen and if she came home that weekend, she would take the standard bed of normal height in the guest room. I took one look at that bed--the top of the mattress was about at my mid chest--and immediately thought Hombre and I would make out with the standard bed just fine. It would have taken a block and tackle and a comealong to get me up on that big bed with my bad shoulder.

Well I hope you get it solved because it is beautiful and you should be able to enjoy it without any annoyances.

Will this be her first adventure on skis? How wonderful.
