Record and skip commercials. I rarely ever see one. When the local news comes on I wait 10 minutes and start at the beginning. This way I have banked time that allows me to skip the commercials. Anything other than the local news gets recorded and watched later on. For me, that’s very little, as I don’t waste my time watching a lot of tv.
Only thing more irritating is someone posting utter garbage like this, and having the gall to post it in the NEWS forum.
I leave how he says my Giza cotton is made in a region between X, Y and Z... i.e. his Giza cotton is made in Giza, Egypt.
Why whine at us? Tell him!
WHY EGYPTIAN COTTON
Throughout the past three centuries, Egyptian cotton has prevailed as one of Egypt’s biggest competitive advantages. With an established reputation of being the “best” cotton in the world, its softness, strength and superior characteristics, have positioned products made of Egyptian cotton as the world’s finest.
Egyptian cotton has not gained such a reputation without reason. Egyptian cotton “is” the world’s finest cotton and the following characteristics are what sets Egyptian cotton apart from other natural fibres:
The length of the fibre makes it possible to make the finest of yarns without sacrificing the strength of the yarn
The strength of the fibre makes fabrics more solid and more resistant to stress
Its ability to absorb liquids gives fabrics made of Egyptian cotton deeper, brighter and more resistant colours
Its softness feels like nothing else in the world
Egyptian cotton is hand picked which guarantees the highest levels of purity. In addition, hand picking puts no stress on the fibres - as opposed to mechanical picking - leaving the fibres straight and intact.
All these factors have resulted in Egyptian cotton being by far the best cotton in the world. Fabrics made of Egyptian Cotton are softer, finer and last longer than any other cotton in the world.
The Boll and Branch radio ads are worse, saying three presidents have slept on their brand of sheets. I want to know which Presidents! Carter, Clinton and Obama perhaps?
I like Mike
He’s a self made man
He likes and supports our President
He’s a Christian
I can think of plenty repetitive commercials I would get rid of before My Pillow
I actually own a My Pillow and get great sleep!
Egyptian Cotton is very different from American cotton. The fibers are very long and very fine.
I remember when I was a kid some yo-yo string folks claimed their string was made from Egyptian cotton.

I’m with you. I do JUST FINE with my Walmart sheets, but of course I’d never tell anyone.
Speaking of commercials...….. is it my imagination or are there more ads being run during talk radio shows than there were a few years back? The shows are constantly breaking away to them. Besides that the hosts often use show time to do more ads.
I find myself tired of listening to the same ads day after day. I’ll turn it off when they start and often forget to turn the show back on.
I know its for revenue, but it seems a bit much.
Suffering from ad fatigue.
Cotton?
Triggered!
I was watching FS1 (basketball) and saw an Amy Klobuchar commercial, a Plugs Biden commercial and a Saint Mayor Pete commercial.
I’ll take Mike Lindell anyday.
I flip channels to avoid all commercials.
Ridiculous amount of commercials, especially medical ones.
Perhaps you prefer to buy products from poofters and the mentally insane?
Lindell is a class act and you should support him unless you’re a lib-troll.
“What’s wrong with home grown American cotton?”
Egypt-grown cotton is very very good because of their climate and perhaps the species grown there. Look it up.
One commercial i really like and laugh at is the doctor walking into the patient’s room saying his license has been renewed— not really.
The very best cotton grown is Sea Island Cotton of the Caribbean and Carolina low country. But it is also rare, thanks to the Civil War and subsequent boll weevil attacks, so what little there is, is used up by men’s shirtmakers- good luck finding anything else made with it. The next best are the other Extra Long Staple cottons. While these cottons originated in the tropical Americas, the varieties bred from them later became famous when introduced to Egypt. But be cautious- Egyptian cotton comes in all grades and all staple lengths, so just because it is grown in Egypt or labeled ‘Egyptian’ means nothing if it’s not ELS cotton. In addition to breeding, the fertility of the soil also determines quality in that the more manured or richer the soil, the longer the fibers. Hence the excellent Giza cotton and US river bend cottons. The finest ELS cotton - is grown in both Egypt and in select suitable parts of the cotton growing regions of the United States, and includes the very rare Pima cotton which is grown in the US.
But 95% of the world’s cotton crop has slightly shorter fibers, and is called upland cotton, used for denim, etc. It’s easier to grow and process and is more resistant to disease and pests. It comes in long and short staple varieties, none quite as long as ELS.
Then there is short staple cotton that pills like crazy - used for flannel, etc.
Mike can use US developed and grown Supima Extra Long Staple cotton
I own a My Pillow and you might not like the commercials but I can tell you it is truth in advertising. Best pillow ever!! I kind of understand because those radio commercials on Rush Limbaugh’s show for Dinovite are excruciating irritating.
