Today on the Dano show... - Dano Mar 24, 16:33 15
- Shouldn't the training department be the ones who are fired for this many poorly performing employees? -- nm - David, Techno-Optimist Mar 24, 16:44 4
  - I think they just like cycling through temps because they can pay them less and not give them benefits. -- nm - Dano Mar 24, 16:45 3
    - unionize that shop, Dano Rae -- nm - moles Mar 24, 16:46 1
      - The scuttlebutt I heard was that the union was the problem with keeping the temps on. -- nm - Dano Mar 24, 16:49

    - David defers to me on color since he's color blind. - Kim Pine Mar 24, 17:03 1
      - Also, Kim doesn't take it seriously like some women do. I put more thought into the furniture we buy than she does. - David, Techno-Optimist Mar 24, 17:07
- It might be easier to list the things we agreed on. -- nm - pmb Mar 24, 16:42

    - (I actually love to bicker. I wouldn't want to agree and the small stuff matters too little to care. ) -- nm - miss amanda phones Mar 24, 16:39 1
      - I like to think she and I got all the bickering out of our sytem *before* we got married. -- nm - Spawn Mar 24, 16:40
  - whats the big deal, close your eyes when you sleep? who cares what the color is -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 24, 16:35 1
    - This. And it's in the bedroom, tucked away. -- nm - con_carne Mar 24, 16:43

- or this one: -- (link) - kelly Mar 24, 16:10 30
  - I like the second one a lot. But I generally go for stripes and geometrics. -- nm - mara Mar 24, 16:32
  - This one (2nd) -- nm - CovingtonCat Mar 24, 16:15
  - I'm not crazy about either one. -- nm - David, Techno-Optimist Mar 24, 16:13 15
    - What about this one? -- (link) - kelly Mar 24, 16:19 14
      - I like it better than the other two but I'm still not dazzled by it. - David, Techno-Optimist Mar 24, 16:33 6
        
        Here are a few I found that are in this price range that I like. -- (link) - David, Techno-Optimist Mar 24, 16:39 5

        Then I'm taking back Jason Heyward and calling it even. -- nm - David, Techno-Optimist Mar 24, 16:52
      - My "you mIght also like" was this, which I love. -- (link) - miss amanda phones Mar 24, 16:31
      - I like this one best of the three, but only if there is *actual* color in the room besides that. -- nm - loosilu Mar 24, 16:26 3
        
        and I like the stripey one second best. -- nm - loosilu Mar 24, 16:27 2
        
        The tan and brown one is also my favorite, but I don't know what color walls I'd pick if that was my comforter. - kelly Mar 24, 16:30 1
        
        those are neutral tones, so you could go with any color on the walls, really. - loosilu Mar 24, 16:31
      - I still like the 2nd one. More color. -- nm - CovingtonCat Mar 24, 16:23
      - For that kind of money it should be a hell of a lot nicer. -- nm - Spawn Mar 24, 16:22

  - Is there a third option? :) -- nm - Stephen of Ireland Mar 24, 16:13 6
    - see, I answered without having to say this :) -- nm - CQ Mar 24, 16:14 5
      - Will and I have completely different tastes most of the time. I'm shocked I found 2 choices we both liked, although I preferred a few others he didn't - kelly Mar 24, 16:22 4
        
        the orange sounded nice, especially if you're going to do brown/beige (cough) for the bedding. -- nm - loosilu Mar 24, 16:28 1
        
        We'll probably wind up doing the stripey one, but I really like the tan and brown one. -- nm - kelly Mar 24, 16:33
        
        heh :) Jess and I are lucky that way. We pretty much have the same tastes -- nm - CQ Mar 24, 16:28 1
