I just came back from the World Furniture market for the last week and because of the gulf storms, foam prices are going up 78 percent! and shipping will make it even more. If you are going to buy a bed cdo it now, this week or you will pay twice the price! Same on fabric sofas and chairs. And pillows.

Oh my gosh---talk about "sticker shock"!!! Thanks for the heads-up. Actually I'm not in the market for a bed--I blamed my poor sleeping on my mattress for a long time, now I know it was the need for a CPAP!

If you don't get a mattress soon, I'll hook you up.

I know a lot of people in the matress black market.

Of course there is.. I Just whatched The Godfather I for the 16th-million time last weekend so it was fresh in my mind.. I had to search for the script excerpt-

CLEMENZA'S VOICE

Hey, Paulie, I want you to go down 39th Street -- Carlo Santos -- you pick up 18 --

PAULIE'S VOICE

Yeah...

CLEMENZA'S VOICE (continuing)

-- mattresses for the guys to sleep, while you bring me the bill...

PAULIE'S VOICE

Uh-huh, yeah, alright... That...[?]...bill

CLEMENZA'S VOICE

Ya'know, you make sure they're clean, cuz those guys a'gonna be stuck up in there for a long

time, ya'know?

PAULIE'S VOICE

They're clean. They told me they exterminate them

CLEMENZA'S VOICE (as Rocco laughs)

Exterminate? That's a bad word to use: exterminate! Get this guy. Watch out we don't

exterminate you [laughs]

PAULIE'S VOICE

You think that's funny, or what?

CLEMENZA'S VOICE (laughs with Rocco)

Hey, Paulie -- [In Italian: Did you fart?]
