Sorry, I don't know anything about soldiers in Mexico, but I do believe it took years to get those soldiers out of Korea.

He's already home, jabber. Yesterday or maybe a couple of days ago. I know it was before the ones from Korea came home.

Okay. I broke grandma's number rule: Don't discuss politics.

So I have a new quandary. What is the best thread count of bed sheets to buy. I have king sets: 600 thread count; fully reversible; wrinle resistant. And I don't like them. But I paid a lot for them. What say you?

I know he's home. Montel Williams and Greta Van Susteren worked endlessly to bring Sgt. Tahmoressi out of that Mexican
prison.

The government was also working to free him. I don't like when 'celebrities' take credit for something that wasn't all their doing. And regarding the thread count, from what I've read, anything over 400 is a waste of money. I only buy around 400 thread count, 100% cotton. There are some sheets out there that aren't 100% cotton. I don't like how they feel. Don't you just hate spending money on what you think is good stuff and it isn't?

We found a set of 1000-thread count sheets on sale over 7 years ago (before my brother died) and thought we had hit the jackpot. We bought him a set and ourselves a set. Got them home and couldn't stand the feel of them once we got them out of the package. They were too rough! We washed them for my brother and they took forever to dry, and never did feel dry so we didn't give them to Gary, we gave them to my other brother who loves them and is still using them.

Our favourites are soft Egyptian cotton...we've learned after many mistakes not to buy anything else. Most sheets are too rough on my skin.

Thanks guys. These 600 thread count I do not like one little bit.
And I think they cost a hundred dollars,or something crazy like that. I'm betting yonuh is probably right; anything over 400 thread count is a waste of money.

Eagle,
Where do you buy your EGYPTAIN cotton sheets?
