And the tsuris is over! All is hopefully right with the world. At least my world.

For now.

Did you take some anti-inflamatories to get rid of the tsuris? :-)

When I was trying to be good, some years earlier, I rotated AND turned the mattress over on some kind of schedule of my own imagining.

I like the pillowtop mattress in our second room better than our mattress. For the day I finally get a new mattress for our room (probably when we move) I found this information....

We don’t attach pillow tops to our mattresses. If you prefer a plusher, softer, more enveloping mattress surface, you can add our free-floating pillow top. To ensure breatheability, our pillow top features a cotton and Merino wool cover. We use 100% natural latex foam for cushioning. This design delivers the comfort a pillow top should without the performance issues associated with synthetic toppers and pillow top mattresses. - See more at: http://www.sleepworks.com/resource/buying-mattress/pillow-tops-and-foam-toppers#sthash.qbXnJMYM.dpuf

Yes time for a new mattress and box spring - and don't forget a mattress topper that will increase the life of your mattress.....

Is a mattress topper this new-fangled thing I see on top of the mattresses at the mattress store I walk by on my way to the bank?

Krispy Kreme really was a phenomenon for a while. I know a store opened in Buffalo and people stood in line. It closed down within a couple of years, if I remember correctly.

I happen to live very close to one of the oldest Krispy Kremes around and it's still doing well. I never go there, though.

I'm confused as to what DR Jrand is referring to as a topper to extend the life of your mattress. A topper, to me, is what we got to put on top of our air mattress so we didn't have to buy a new one. Or you put it on top of a new mattress to make it softer or change the feel of it.

I would think you are referring to, the not so new, pillow tops attached to the top of new mattresses. Did you look at the link I posted regarding these?

We had them when I was a kid and I sold them every morning as a junior or senior as a fundraiser for National Honor Society. I always enjoyed them (not as much as Mom's), but I could never understand the craze appeal.

When one opened in San Antonio, I got to work a preview shift making the donuts. All I learned is that they like their fry oil pushed to the edge of being rancid, the same way that Starbucks likes their coffee slightly burnt. Gives it more of a flavor punch, in their opinion.

Thanks, Kevin. I'll look at it. I've never used Broadway Box. I may have to give it a try.

Around 4:00AM as I was finally falling asleep lightening flashed the beginning of a long lightening storm. Once I heard rain at about 5:30 I relaxed and drifted off. We are still had "extreme" fire risk here.

Has anyone ever tried a chocolate fortune cookie? I tried one for the first time tonight with some chocolate ice cream. It was so good.

I found this As Seen On Tv thing at my dollar store today. It's called Hair Bean. It was only $2.

You never know if these things are going to work. But I have very thick long hair. I am happy to report that it does work. Yeah!

Fred Meyer has sold them before. I've never gotten any because you have to buy a whole big bag and I didn't want to eat them all...or share them.

I've never seen one. The chocolate ice cream combo sounds better than the cookie alone.

Two long books became available at my eBook library at the same time. I hate when that happens, with long books anyway. The thing is, I was 23rd in the queue for the 2nd book that became available. I think my branch had extra books.

I'd prefer Rob Berman had won since he's a good friend. Elliott's a nice man and a good musical director.
