I've been sleeping on a hammock for the past 4 years. I actually dislike mattresses now. They hurt my back, and I wake up feeling like my spine is bent the wrong way. XD
Felt? Like feelings? Or like the fabric? If it's the fabric, it can be soft and squishy... like a kitten! But it doesn't purr, so not as good as a kitten. Our kitten is overweight. She can't even clean her back any more because she can't bend that way. She needs to go on a diet. Diet is a word that ends with a t, just like felt!

Depends on your level. Get high enough, they become more annoyances than anything. Then again, that could be said for pretty much any D&D monster....

I'm of the opposite mindset. More stores should be closed on Thanksgiving so people can spend time with their families. There's too much emphasis on materialism and consumerism these days, and people are getting disconnected from what really matters. People have all of Friday to shop - use Thursday to play games with the kids, pig out on turkey, and talk with your loved ones. Even if your loved ones are a bunch of cats.

Oh hey, I'm in that exact same mindset. I've ranted against the stores opening on Thursday for years, and I had to work Black Thursday last year, and I swore never again. It ruined my Thanksgiving...and I've more than half a mind to try and organize a strike against the stores opening on Thanksgiving this year. I think it's wrong.
What I meant was stores putting up Halloween stuff in September, and taking it down and replacing it with Christmas stuff October 31st. They skip Thanksgiving.
Organized strikes against stores opening on Thanksgiving?

Ah, I'm in agreement with you there. Christmas stuff shouldn't be up until after Thanksgiving, in my opinion. The lone exception should be fabric and craft stores, of course, because it takes time to put things like that together. But after Halloween, then it is time to start selling up Thanksgiving.
Hmm... maybe that's part of the reason our society is getting more "gimme gimme gimme" materialistic, and less grateful for the things they do have. Food for thought.

Hmm... nah. As I mentioned earlier, those Thursdays should be spent with friends and family, not picketing a store.
Besides, I've been around the boards long enough you should know my attitude towards it. People should let the stores know what they think with their money. If you don't like it, don't shop there. If enough people do this, then the stores will change their approach.
