My mother is horrified to learn that I have yet to buy a pad for the rug I've had for a year. Apparently, with every padless step I take upon the rug, I am shortening its life exponentially. I don't really see why this makes sense, but I am willing to accept it. After all, she is my mother.
I've done a little internet shopping for a pad and still haven't purchased one since they are more expensive than I want them to be (i.e. more than $20). It occurred to me that perhaps a likely place for bargain rug pads would be the same place I purchased the bargain rug in the first place.
I go to the website. I type in "rug pad" to the search window.
In reply, I get this message: "Couldn't find results for 'rug pad,' searching 'rug' instead."
You know what? There were plenty of results for rug. Probably because it is a rug store.
Thanks, technology!
