I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

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.

Thrive to spite them

I'm getting a mattress for Christmas.

Momy and I went and tried some. There wasn't a huge selection in my price range. But I tried some expensive ones including one that was $7000 something.

It was fancy memory foam which I found to be uncomfortable. Not enough spring or something.

I hate memory foam, so test before you buy. I like a hard mattress.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

We also probably need to replace our mattress, but it is not high on our priority list.

I feel like fhe flatness if memory foam without the springs would bother me. I hear they're not as bad for heat anymore, but that would also be a deal breaker.

I wish some hotels had them so you could get a real world trial.

I feel like I've OD'd on mattress types and descriptions today! Gel-encased spring coil pillowcase flattop pomade memory core workout...STOP!

I'm gonna close some tabs...

The only memory foam I slept on was hot as bajeesus

That's what's kept me away from them. I am a stomach/side sleeper and I like a plush mattress.

I'm not a fan of foam either, it holds the heat on me, and I sleep very warm. I'm kicking off all the covers by 5 AM because I don't set the thermostat as low as I did in the old house. The complex doesn't want it lower than 65 because of fear of frozen pipes (I would think there's a long way to go before worrying about pipes at 65).

Dude, explaining to me how you've used my program since the 90s is not impressing me when I'm having to explain basic features of said program.

I have barely worked today and it's been pretty nice.

That does sound nice!

I don't know how much I got done today, although not for lack of trying. I've been stalking engineers to approve my code because I need to clear the deck to push more code. Plus I'm taking a machine learning class tomorrow, so I'll be away from my desk all day.

I would like to sleep for 12 hours.
