I just drove by a Cleo's on my lunch break that was having a big closeout sale, complete with full mattress outside on the sidewalk.
Mine is about 20 years old (minus the four years I almost never slept on it in Memphis), so probably in the ballpark of ready for replacement.
In other news, having same-sized blue cans of tuna AND cheap cat food in your car makes afternoon snacking an adventure.
I am so tired of authors who are outraged that their articles are -- gasp! -- edited. This one said "This has not been my experience with other medical journals," and all I could think (but I'm not allowed to say) is "Well, some medical journals have pretty low standards. Maybe you should submit your paper to them." Jesus, they get SO offended at being edited. What on earth did they think was going to happen? It explicitly says in the Author Information page that articles are edited in accordance with the AMA Style Manual. What they hell do they think that means? (Actually, I'm sure they don't even read the Author Information, but that's not my problem.)
Strix, I highly recommend memory foam, especially with pain issues. But you should probably go to a store and check some out, even if you're not buying from them.
I have very pleasant memories of flirting both with meara and with Laura. I recommend the experience heartily.
On crushes, I have no advice. In the early years of this board, I often felt like I was crushing on the entire board at once. Pleasant, but could get overwhelming.
Hey, Karl... where is my flirtatious font?
Memory foam is awesome, and you can also just get a topper for that.
I got a nice memory foam topper this spring. I love it, but it didn't do enough to help D.
We're going out this weekend to sloungue publicly on beds not our own.
The mattress being memory foam as opposed to just a topper makes a huge difference imho.

Totes. And some regular mattresses have a memory-foam top instead of a pillow top. Though I don't know how much that affects flipability.
The only memory foam I slept on was hot as bajeesus
I have nothing to contribute to the mattress discussion.
I came in to say: I have barely worked today and it's been pretty nice. Started off by showing off my contributions to our Toy Drive gifts and admiring my teammates - we all had some fun shopping. Then shopped the outlet sale for something my sister wanted. Then chatted with our safety guy about the shocky-tingly thing my arm started doing recently and then trying to set up the track pad he gave me to see if that and a couple of exercises helps. Then it was pretty much time to go get lunch if I wanted to eat before my haircut, which I did, and then haircut and then post office, and I actually did a little bit of work after I got back before I came in here for a break but not much. ALl this slacking will probably bite me on the ass at some point but I'm enjoying it right now.
