it seems no one has yet found a great solution that is cheap. I definitely will not invest in anything I can't take with me when I move a second time, because I'm moving into an apartment that, like my previous 7 or 8 places, will be temporary.

Line the walls with fat people?

How do I know a few of the "husky" men here are going to pummel me for that one?
