Buying A Bed At IKEA? Try It Out For The Night:

No longer content to offer consumers Swedish meatballs and self-assembly shelves, Ikea in Norway offered weary shoppers the chance to sleep over in one of its Oslo showrooms free of charge.

In late July, the public was able to spend the night in special rooms set up in the store, with a choice of bridal suite, complete with hanging chandelier and a round bed, or a luxury suite that includes breakfast in bed.

Others shared a bunk in the dormitory, while parents and children joined in the fun in one of Ikea’s family rooms.

And as an added freebie, customers will also be able to take their bedsheets home afterwards. “It’s a nice souvenir,” he added.

“We will also give them bathrobes with the Ikea Hostel logo on it, and some slippers, so they won’t get cold at night,” he said.

You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming.

No person really decides before they grow up who they’re going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you’re stuck with.
