My parents enjoy going to my sister’s home where her and her huband have a really comfortable couch. They both know it’s a Serta brand couch, but little else. I have the tag from the piece itself with things such as the order number(209368-0001) and the date 10/25/2000. I know there is a slim chance of finding the same one, but if anyone has suggestions, that would be great. Thanks!
I’m guessing it may be a sleeper sofa.
I haven’t seen it myself, but from the way my mom descibes it, it is like a Lazy-Z-Boy type of couch comfort wise, but not the size of a typical couch.
I actually just rechecked with my mom, and it’s a Sealy sofa. Sorry!

I want to find a shampoo for my puppy (12 weeks old) that doesn’t smell like ORANGES or MEDICINE…nearly all of the pet shampoos I have found either smell like that hand cleaner stuff made from citrus or they smell like pesticides…I just want a shampoo for my dog that will make him smell good, he sets w/ me all the time and he even sleeps next to me, (he’s a chihuahua) I hate smelling orange shampoo and the "flea & tick mediciny" Anyone know of any good ones??

Queen size mattress dilemma!!!?




My boyfriend and I are moving in at the end of the week. We bought a bedroom set that includes a queen size bed with foot board, head board and rails. We got a memory foam mattress that is 75.0 x 39.0 x 8.0, we are wondering do you have to buy a box spring to put under the the memory foam or does the bed support it already.

Here is the description of the bed:

•Solid wood and wood veneer construction. Tops, fronts, rails, and structural components are solid pine
•Queen beds come with three slats and center supports

Here is a picture of the bed:

can i use a heated mattress pad when pregnant?




I have a heated mattress pad on my bed and I’m 34 weeks pregnant. The control dial fell on the floor and turned on and I did not know it. It was on the high setting for about 1 1/2 hours while I was in bed. When I realized it was on, I turned it off, but now I’m afraid it may have hurt the baby. I sleep on my side, but roll forward a bit, so the side of my belly was on the bed. Does anyone know if it is safe to use heated mattress pads or know if it gets hot enough to harm the baby?

bed situation?




ok so i have been dating this man for a while,and we are now at the stage where we are going to sleep together, but you see i do not have an actual bed, i just have a tall air mattress, if i add one of those memory foam things do you think it would be ok? what else could i do. i dont really have the money to buy a new bed and he lives in a shared room, so what could i do, should i have him meet me at a motel, or will the air mat work? like i said i can add one of those soft pads to the top. please help

I purchased a large(ish) picture frame the other day, but they had put a big sales sticker on the glass, and I’ve wasted a lot of time trying to get the glue off.
Is there anything that will dissolve the glue and leave the glass shiny clean?

Thanks!
