With all this mattress talk, anyone have a Tempurpedic?
Comments (34)I know this thread is old, but I came across it when doing a search for something else. We have a true Tempurpedic thick mattress (not the thin and not the pillow top.) We bought it because I was having back problems. The bed is wonderful in the winter, and really keeps you toasty. I have no problems with my back in the winter. In the summer, the bed gets too "soft" for my back. I think one reason is because our bedroom is south facing and gets very hot in the afternoon...therefore the mattress heats up and softens. I have the hot flashes, too. LOL We keep our thermostat around 72-74 in the summer (65 in the winter.) Also, I am "fluffy" so the extra weight makes the mattress sink down even further when it is warm. On the other hand, my DH is thin and he loves the mattress year round. We fight over the thermostat settings. He wants it warmer in both the summer and the winter. Ugh!!! I have found that if I place a thick mattress pad on top of the Tempur in the summer it helps keep my body heat from heating up the mattress. I take it off in the winter, so that the mattress can "catch" the cold from the room and firm up more. If I had it to do all over again, I would have either purchased the thinner mattress (these are firmer, but would make the overall bed thinner and hard to cover) or purchased the Sleep Number so that DH and I could have our own settings. Moving around the bed is a little difficult and there is absolutely no support for the back if one of the "kids" jumps on top of you. Wink, wink!...See MoreSophie sent me a baby from the rainbow bridge
Comments (32)You took the words right out of my mouth, Nina! Milo (who we have nicknamed Fuzz) has filled my heart with such happiness, though I still grieve my sweet Sophie. <3 I'm so glad your Olivia found one when she did. :) That picture is the most adorable thing! Update on Fuzz AKA Milo. He has been to the vet and had his first set of shots and I got his deworming medicine, which he already finished. He left with a clean bill of health. :) We are socializing him with family member's and friend's pets at home and he has done very well. :) Sadly, we have no puppy classes where I live (I live in the Appalachian mountains where our closest Walmart is even 35 minutes away). The only classes we have are pet co and it's just for training. So we are sticking with family and friend's dogs who we know are vaccinated and healthy, until he finishes his round of shots. I want to say thank you to each and everyone of you. You are all so kind and your words all mean so much. I truly love this community!...See MoreBuilt In Dog Crate
Comments (30)murraysmom, for most dogs, their crate is a place of safety and security. Many prefer to go to their crates to avoid any chaos that's happening. And if they're home alone, many dogs prefer being locked in their crates because then they don't feel "responsible" for the entire house, and it reduces their stress level. It's not sad, it's recognizing that dogs have different psychological needs than we do, and meeting those needs - rather than trying to make them conform to ours....See MoreGood afternoon!
Comments (12)My week is ok, thanks for asking. I had to come back to work off of vacation and that was a bummer. My boss is picking on me in some sort of weird man ego bid to impress the newbie who he is in a weird bromance with, despite the fact that dude cant even clock in on time, so that is annoying but I have friends everywhere at work so I just ignore him and do my work and make my money. I was welcomed back by my shifts with enthusiasm, as they say prefer to have me there over the people who cover for me when I am on vacation. That is always a nice feeling when people say nice things like that. During the first part of the week I was still on vacation and a little restless so I painted the bottom half of one of my bathrooms. The top half was a bright blue , the bottom half a horrible brown, with a white chair rail separating the two. Painted the brown a navy blue, and it looks a million times better. I hate that I left it like that for so long. Brown and gray make me sad. Got my septic tank pumped. Just barrels of excitement around here! I also ordered some veggie seeds and some plants for my garden. Got SO to go get me some compost/manure and some more dirt to top off my raised garden beds. I will plant his collards and cabbage and my broccoli in a few weeks. I am noodling with the idea of trying to grow onions this time. I want to get some more of those garden beds. I might not this year but I may. Next year for sure but maybe this year. I really really love them. Got my hair done too, which was the true highlight of the week. (see what I did there?) I started my eating plan for the team weight loss competition and that is actually going better and was easier to start than I thought it would be. But its always easier on days/nights I work. When I am off and at home its a bit more of a challenge. But I am sure I can do it. Had a week long back and forth with the company that picks up our trash. They did not pick it up last week. I called every day after our trash day and they said they DID. No, you didn't. Well, we will get it tomorrow. They didn't. This went on every day until our regular trash day again. It wasn't picked up again. So I finally called and told them that they could either come pick it up THAT DAY, or I will be bringing it to their doorstep, and they finally picked it up. I am always exceedingly nice when I call for things like that, because my mother taught me that you always get better results. But eventually somethings gotta give. WITCH SWITCH FLIPPED! And I got a weeks credit on my bill. I just want them to give the service I pay for. Its so frustrating. I went to the eye doctor today because I am on my last pair of contact lenses. I had SO drive me because I was really tired after working last night. It took way longer than I thought it would and we passed a Krispy Kreme that had the hot light on both on the way there and on the way home. :( I told him he better not stop. We can go back after my competition is won! Or lost. Whatever. I am happy that my prescription has not changed, and I was happy that the doctor did not try to push Lasik on me again as he has done every year. I believe he actually sold his practice but still works there, and probably no longer gets commission or kickbacks or whatever doctors get for such referrals. Leo is having one of his spells where he throws up all his food for a few days in a row. This happens every few months. The vet does not know why. He does not feel bad and still eats, drinks, plays, and annoys the cat. He just throws up a few times a day for a few days then he is fine. Its gross and I wish the vet could help, but I guess its just a quirk of his. So we are waiting for this bout of whatever it is to pass. So some good, some not so good, some mundane. Just happy to be alive to ramble about it. Enjoy your weekend!...See Morechisue
