Cooker - comforters

PiperBride

We have a company store one that I bought in 2002.  I bought the medium warmth down and it really does work for year round.  We keep our house around 68 in the winter and I throw a blanket over us if it's a really cold night.  I prefer medium because when the AC is on in the summer it's still not too hot.

Also, I bought it in the flax cover and use a duvet cover from PB.  The comforter itself is still pretty much perfect with minimum down shed.  I really like it.

Very cool. Thanks! I think I'm going to go with the medium warmth too, so we can use it year round if we need to, though we don't have A/C so I'm thinking we'll toss it off the bed come June or July.

Dear lord, no AC would kill me.  When is your baby due?  BF and leaking at night and no AC and July sounds like my personal hell.

Late April. It could suck, but we do have a window unit in our room that can cool the entire upstairs if we turn it on long enough and one for the dining room/living room downstairs so it didn't get TOO bad this past summer.

Our house is stucco and brick too, which helps keep the temp down.

You should be comfortable until June at least, that's good.  And a window AC works well, I didn't even know if you had that.  

There are always classy ways to stay cool, like kiddie pools with lawn chairs in them...one of my personal daytime favorites.

HA! A truck pool is my personal favorite. You can set your drink on the wheel hubs.

Is that something you buy at fleet farm or is that actually a truck bed filled with water that you hang out in?  My husband is from the range but a truck pool might have even escaped him.

LOL at Fleet Farm. I spent half my childhood in that store, sadly.

A truck pool, at least in my hood, is filling a truck bed with water (lined with tarp first of course). So klassy.?

PiperBride

Hey, if you were going to purchase a truck pool, you would either go to FF or a feed store.  I just guessed FF because there is one by my house.  I still love that store, they sell truly unique goods.

I have never been in a truck pool.  I might have to change that summer 09.  Why don't they do Rock of Love - Truck Pool!

I'll page you when we get ours filled up for the summer.

Good, I'm quitting my job (telling my boss tomorrow - eek!) so I should have more time to come over.
