For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for June 09, 2022

pretty simple, huh?

Yep. Colonial style.

Three months later, You’re the one that said you like it.

With Head and Foot Boards, make sure it’s long enough.

And the headboard won’t get scratched by the handcuffs.

Wagon wheel bed. Elly must like the old West.

Do they still make beds with footboards??

I thought that went out with WWII!!

“I want whatever she wants. Life is easier that way, trust me.”

“Oh, Jon, I’ve always wanted to make love to Gre… er, YOU, in a chuck wagon!”

According to poor John, a bed is a bed is a bed……it doesn’t matter as long as it has a mattress, a box spring, and a frame.

Wanna find out if you and romantic partner are compatible? Go furniture shopping.

Happy wife, happy life.

Jon shows the side of man’s preferences. I’ve built my own headboard for my current bed twice, both times with a simple sheet of plywood. All I need is something to keep the pillow on the bed. If it’s functional, it’s good.

Exactly! Man: It’s comfortable. Woman: Does it match the drapes? The paint on the walls? Is it karmically compatible? Is it better than the bed that bitch next door bought? Does it come in pink?

Yeah. I mean really, all it has to do is be comfortable and not move out from under me unexpectedly. Now if we were talking about a car, then we’d have a conversation, but this is just a place to sleep, snore and drool.

Yes, yes. YES!

John has the attitude most men have; utilitarian. Who needs an expensive bedroom suite?

Doesn’t look very wide to me.

Men = Function over fashion.

Women = Function? FUNCTION?? WE Don’t Need No Stinking Function. IT’S ALL ABOUT FASHION!!!!

She is picky on the bed, he’s the car fanatic. To each their own…

Venus vs Mars…Mars is simply practical

It’s my house again today. Must be a guy thing.

Works for me!

Do people really say bedroom suite? I’ve never used that expression in my life. I tend to say/hear bedroom set. Hmm. Maybe it’s a Canadian thing?

Why I’m in a store for 5 minutes to buy something that would take 5 hours for the wife.

I like the style. I think you have the option of removing the decorative footboard piece. In many cases, you can use the shorter footboard piece as your headboard if you want a lower style one. So says a person who doesn’t use a headboard at all : )

It looks like its on the axle of an old wild west wagon…

And will any of their old fitted sheets and/or blankets fit the new bed?

Oh, gee. I’ve always wanted to sleep next to a wagon wheel. /s

“It’s flat, it’s wide, it has a mattress.”

Just like Elly!

I’m sure that when my parents went shopping for their bedroom set, my father was just as interested as my mother was in the aesthetics of the furniture. He had a good eye for beauty – after all, he did pick my mother to be his lovely bride!

Saw a TikTok the other day that listed all the things a man needs to do to keep his woman. For a woman to keep a man all she has to do is show up naked and bring food. Think that fits here

That’s how they rope you in—“I like it, so YOU must like it too…”

Got a Scandinavian modern bedroom set, solid walnut, with a bookcase headboard 64 years ago. It still looks great and has held up well, dresser drawers still slide correctly. Love the bookcase headboard. A lamp my husband made in 8th grade I.A. shop sits on it and my phone and our eyeglasses are right there at night.

Somewhat related: Hubby and I had a queen-sized bed, and all was well until we got a miniature dachshund puppy. (AMAZING how much of a bed a small dog can take up!) The first night, I ended up with only half of the top sheet. Hubby explained that he needed the rest to keep the dog covered! No, this story doesn’t end with a homicide, lol. The next day, he proudly presented something I hadn’t even thought of – a king-sized top sheet. Worked like a charm, and neither hubby nor puppy ever had to spend a night in the “doghouse”.
