I heart my mattress

Ohhh I love ours too but we have a tempurpedic. It's very, very comfy and when we sell the boat it's coming with us, the old mattress can stay with the boat. We had to get a new custom made mattress for the oldest kid's bed (it's in the bow of the boat) and she was so mad at us because the new one isn't as comfy as the 20 year old one.

ION, I'm accruing overtime as I wait for powerpoint slide to print... 12 copies of 30 slides. I've been printing almost all day, I'm gonna be here for at least another hour while my husband takes the kids to the movies. To make matters worse I have to come in tomorrow to finish the rest of the slides and print them. ugh Work sucks!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Anybody research-y around? I'm comparing 1990 and 2000 census data, and I'd love to use median household income, because I think it's dramatic, but I don't know how to take inflation into account. Or if it's even worthwhile. This would be one aspect of a paper that's not a huge deal to begin with. Anyone?

ETA: The prof said something about comparing to median income citywide, so maybe I'll play around with that.

Jesse, it looks like this will adjust for inflation: [link]

So, the numbers didn't come out as awesome as I would have hoped, but at least it only took five minutes! Edit: HA HA! The places where income didn't go up, it's the projects! Am genius.

I'd be all "Mom! I can't do boys younger than the mattress I'm doing them on!"

Having bought my first mattress in 1996 I'm good on this issue for the forseeable future. Though I actually sleep on the Tranquilizer Couch and only put my bed to use when sex is one of the menu options. Barring a roof leak, this mattress is going to outlive me.

I bought my mattress in 1994, when I moved to DC. It took me a while to figure out that my mother didn't want me to buy a double bed. first, she said it wouldn't fit, so I measured. Then, she offered me a twin bed from the house, which was 2 hours away. Then, she wanted me to buy a screen so that men would not see my bed when they were in my studio apartment. heh. silly woman.

Nope. :( Which means, they probably fake-tried to deliver them yesterday when I wasn't home, and I'll have to get them at the PO on Tuesday.
