And, if it's TRUE, I don't think there would be libel on anyone's part, as long as it sticks to the facts, and doesn't injure the place by making a subjective negative characterization. I'm curious. I've been watching the BB thing for 4-5 years, and it's definitely a worldwide problem. And if you do go to jail, I'll bring you a cake with a file and saw blade in it.

I'd have no qualms about buying used furniture, but I'd never buy a mattress, or anything upholstered. _________________________ The evils of tyranny are rarely seen but by him who resists it.

Exterminators come in and all top down comforters/bedding is usually discarded into the trash. The remaining bedding is washed at high temps. But, the thing is once they are discovered it is sometimes too late and may be traveling home with a guest that stayed in room. If you plan on staying away from home and sleeping in an unknown bed such as a hotel/bed & breakfast/cottage, the things to look for: - Rust colored staining on mattress/boxspring - Best place to look is between the bedframe and the headboard, that is where many of them will hide out and you would actually see them if you look there - Not only mattresses/beds are infested with these pests, they will take up residency in dressers/nightstands and other furniture. To be safe, I look every time I go someplace and I do it before I even bring any of my luggage into the room. Paranoid? NO, vigilant - yes. I don't need to bring any pesky guest back home with me. _________________________ Those people who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do. Isaac Asimov

Uhmnnn...no, but on a day like today I could definitely go for 90 degrees. We had some minutes of snow this AM, and later a touch of sleet, in Dryden. I'm at abt 1110 ft; Cayuga lake is 382, and figure 3 degrees change for every 1000 ft. of altitude. $\:\)$ _________________________ The evils of tyranny are rarely seen but by him who resists it.

Exactly, and cheap jet travel has been a prime contributor to making them a worldwide problem. When I say cheap, keep in mind that $16 in 1960 would buy what $100 will today, and it's cheaper, in constant $, than it was then. _________________________ The evils of tyranny are rarely seen but by him who resists it.
