Jesse, I think Sears is probably a good call. The last mattress I bought was from American Mattress, but I think they're only in Illinois.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Suzi, I'm so sorry. It's so hard.
Matt, I'm sorry for your friend. I feel like I've been hearing way too much about brain tumours lately.
Jesse I bought my mattress at Sears 8 years ago and it was a good pick. (It was middle range, nice, thick pillow-top. Still comfortable today. My only regret is that I didn't buy a protective cover for it.) At the time, the Sears brand, at least in Canada, were made by Sealy. I don't know if that is still true.

We have The Original Mattress Factory in Ohio and have been happy with out mattress purchases from there.
ION, I am back at home and at work. What the actual heck. And also Bah. I needed more vacation.

That's where we got ours, and we really like it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ugh, Matt. I'm sorry to hear that.
Mattress success! I hope it works out. The guy was so happy I bought one, after lying on all of them! I have to say, the most expensive one in there felt great. (I did not buy that one.)

I'm debating getting a Marvel Unlimited subscription and shifting my comics subscriptions to digital. I've a hard copy person all my life, but I'm realizing that between limited storage space, no real interest in collectability, and aging eyesight, having a physical copy of a comic is more nostalgic than useful. And I won't have to drive to the store to get my books.

Not really seeing a downside there, Connie.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Since DH and I are seriously thinking about moving, we're looking at getting rid of books we can reread on Kindle (if we are ever likely to reread them) like mysteries or novels which were good, but probably not compelling enough to reread. There are books which are not kindleable, like art books or old favorites, so those we will keep, of course.
Lots of culling in our future.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Much as I love having physical books, I'm facing the truth that it's getting harder to read them. An e-reader that allows me to enlarge the text as much as I want is better. Also better for saving space. The only books I want to keep are the ones that can't be downloaded and a few favorites for nostalgia.
I probably should get a new mattress but I have other things I want/need to spend that money on.
My hands are so cold I can barely type. I should do something about that.
