    Something has to give, i just am so tired and tired of being sick. Sleeping a lot yesterday and today should help. I know as a diabetic it takes longer to recover from an illness and that is still new for me. Oh well, i'll make it.

    My wife and i were still sleeping on a water bed till a few years ago. The pain docs had a cow when they found out. We ended up getting a good (expensive crap) mattress and it sure made a difference. We had a memory pad topper on it for a bit but took it off and found we did better without...
