What's the perfect mattress?

I hope everyone had a good holiday weekend. We had something interesting happen locally.

Our schools always had Good Friday off. This year some of the other faiths complained about it so the school board voted to have it be a regular school day but with the out that if someone took the day off, it would not be held against them.

Well 2/3's of the kids didn't show up for school, not mention the hundreds of school workers which included teachers and bus drivers.

Today the school board made the announcement that they would never again take the Good Friday holiday away.

Sandra, are those the only two forks in the setting? If so then where it is placed on the table makes a difference. In the photo the fork on the left appears to be the dinner fork, making the one on the right a dessert fork.

The shape alone makes me think of a special use. A shrimp cocktail fork would be an odd shape but smaller.

I know you didn't like it, Jane, but it's a Temur Pedic. I just loved it from the moment I laid down on it. And it was a adjustable frame. The moment I put my legs up and adjusted my back just a tad, it was like, "ahhhh".

Jane · « **Reply #304 on:** March 24, 2008, 07:02:50 PM »

I understand complaining for equal time off on important holidays, not against the time off for an existing holiday.

The people who are selling the bed on Craigs list love the bed but are going for a king size instead of a queen because he has sleep apnia like me and has to sleep like I do.

His wife wants to lay flat so they want to get a king because it's like two different beds in one.

You also tested the mattress in a warm store, they are affected by the air temps. The colder the temp, the harder the mattress. You might need to keep your bedroom warmer.

When we spent the night at the beach this summer our bedroom was overly warm, even for me. However, the temper-pedic mattress felt so good I looked into getting one.

Danise · « **Reply #308 on:** March 24, 2008, 07:05:49 PM »

Well, it's ten and I gotta run.

Have a good evening all!

Jane · « **Reply #309 on:** March 24, 2008, 07:06:39 PM »

We never did get a new mattress, we got a fake down mattress pad. It isn't great but it beats buying a new mattress we didn't need, except for our own comfort.

Jane · « **Reply #310 on:** March 24, 2008, 07:07:06 PM »

Danise, sleep well.

Now that others have mentioned it, I have vague memories of Apple Brown Betty in the Louis Pasteur cafeteria.

You knew Louis Pasteur?

DR Sandra:

Assorted forks. From left to right: dessert fork, relish fork, salad fork, dinner fork, cold cuts fork, serving fork, carving fork.

Jane · « **Reply #313 on:** March 24, 2008, 07:14:43 PM »

I prefer 4 pronged dessert forks to 3 pronged ones. Both are correct.

Congrats on the great news TCB! May the universe grant you another such favor next month.

Sorry to miss DR Danise. If I'd been paying attention, I'd have told her we love our TempurPedic mattress.

'night!

I had my first Guys and Dolls rehearsal tonight. It was... interesting. It's a new group that I've never worked with before, so I shall give it some time.

TCB · « **Reply #318 on:** March 24, 2008, 07:24:51 PM »

Thank you all for the congratulations. I think I may actually sleep better tonight.

Well, I have to be in Seattle at 6:15 a.m.; so I had better get ready for bed.

Good night.

I got a new pillow today.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #320 on:** March 24, 2008, 07:25:51 PM »

Time for bed....work tomorrow. Oh well.

We are having ice cream for dessert tonight, so I guess it will get to be a salad fork.

The thermostat on the hot water was broken-EASY FIX! We should have hot water in an hour.

Jane, I have never heard of an easy fix for a water heater before, but I'm glad you had one.

I just finished reading THE FRANCHISE AFFAIR by Josephine Tey. There are also two films, 1952 & ’88, plus a 1962 English TV series. Has anyone seen any of these?

Jane, I read the book ages ago, but didn't realize their were any films out of it.

Wonderful news, DR TCB.

I am watching TRADER HORN in TCM and it has turned into mostly a travelogue.

Edwina Booth caught an infection filming this on location in Africa and died from it.

Thanks to all for your information about your computers. I appreciate the information.

Good Evening!

I'm back from seeing Cry Baby...

DR JRand - I forgot to pick up a few extra Playbills on the way out the theatre tonight, however, I have no problem sending you mine.

Matt H. · « **Reply #327 on:** March 24, 2008, 08:22:53 PM »

I began my evening watching another NUMB3RS episode. This one involved the dicovery of a murdered policeman from 1990 and the investigation into it. Not a great mystery. I guessed it easily.

Matt H. · « **Reply #328 on:** March 24, 2008, 08:24:45 PM »

Next, I watched the remake of THE ITALIAN JOB on HD-DVD. Good cast: Mark Walburgh, Seth Green, Charlize Theron, Jason Statham, Mos Def, and Edward Norton. The first 2/3 was very entertaining, but it really fell apart in the final third which just turned into a ridiculous chase through downtown LA.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #329 on:** March 24, 2008, 08:27:26 PM »

As for the show... Well...

It's a very good and hard-working cast. -The prison yard workout/dance is pretty amazing in spots. Alas, I feel the show is swallowed up by the theatre - there's lots of air space on the stage. And the voices were strangely mixed low in the mix (tonight?) - and I was sitting just a few feet in front of the sound board!?!? In any case.. I had a relatively good time, but part of that good time was the intermission and post-show "discussion".

We shall see...

*DR FJL - I'm still trying to figure out your comment about the humor in this show and the humor in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. Seems like apples and oranges to me.
