The wife and I had trouble with mattress's, we finally bit the bullet for a Sleep Number bed, now we are both happy. 
Only matters if the wife is happy. All others are secondary and coincidental.The wife and I had trouble with mattress's, we finally bit the bullet for a Sleep Number bed, now we are both happy.
No, the husband has to be happy in this instance, we get free mattresses from his insurance company because he broke his neck.
We bought an 8K Serta once, but we were too busy with the move and whatnot to get at the insurance company, but he always gets first pick.
My parents did not understand that you are supposed to replace them. I think my mom still has one from the 80s. Sleeping with the husband was a revelation (in many ways, LOL) but like I was like, "OH you mean you aren't supposed to ache from head to toe when you get up?"

I found foam to retain the impression of my six different sleep positions. It just has the start of a coffin now.
My backyard neighbor came over today. Said he has killed 19 squirrels this year. 
I'm not worthy...
I'm not worthy...Can I have your neighbor's email address? I want to send a congratulatory card and maybe an amazon gift card. LOL.

He probably doesn't have a email addy, he's from Kentucky.
Btw, before anyone gets bent out of shape about that comment, my maternal Grandfather's family is from Meade County.
One more thing... One year, tried all spring and most of summer to get the air in my Jeep working properly. In August of said year, stopped at a Jeep dealer in Kentucky on my way to North Carolina. 2 hours later, I was back on the road with a replaced pressure relief valve. Been working ever since. That was @ 10 years ago.

Speaking of North Carolina, my Grandmother from that state just called she's 94. What a sweet lady. Mountain Girl, Southern Belle. Ancestry.com knew from my dna that part of my family had settled in North Carolina. Pegged right down to, "North Carolina Blue Ridge Mountain Settlers" and "North Carolina Foothills & Upstate South Carolina Settlers." Pretty wild, a?
79F outside. Not quite hot enough for ice vest.
Gave Steel all three antlers last night at the same time as a recovery/birthday present. He wasn't sure what to do at first. Would pick them up one at a time and move them a few feet away back and forth until settling down to chew. The forked one is his favorite.
Talked to a old friend of mine on the phone that I used to work with. He still calls to see how I'm doing, God bless him.
Today is a good day. Going to take that long lonely walk to the shower, spend time with God and microwave some Schwan's pot pies to eat while watching Netflix.

* Don't beat it, eat it *
Black & Blue, Creamy, Buttery, Steakhouse Risotto with Cremini Mushrooms, Baby Spinach and Sweet Cramelized Onions ... Rich and deep flavors abound in this risotto. Steak and blue cheese are a classic pairing. Mushrooms, nutty Parmesan and beef demi-glace add even more umami depth. Crammed with healthy spinach and caramelized onions. Bon Appetit

... maybe that didn't come out right, but this meal sure did !!!
I haven't killed a squirrel this year, or last, or the year before. Well, maybe one (1) somewhere along the way in there, to put an afflicted squirrel out of its misery. Afflicted animals shouldn't suffer.

Well my war with squirrels like, will never end.
I also agree like, with that sentiment for pets like if they get chemo or something. I've always thought, "It's one thing to have chemo and know it and quite another to not know it and get chemo anyway."
Vets always say "Oh, said animal won't SUFFER" and I'm sure they charge exorbitant amounts for like, the pain meds too but vets have to make a living, and I always think "Vet Psychic needs to prove to me this is not about maintaining his practice, at the expense of my bank account." I mean THEY have to do it. My first cat was paralyzed and the vet was like, "Well, I ain't got no clue, but I can do a 1500 dollar surgery to check out the spinal cord to see if it can be fixed."
When my parents were like, "Umm... NO." I was not even mad. Even I saw the absurdity of the situation (I was six) and frankly I had been coming in to feed my cat petfood off my fingers because that is the only way he would eat."
Sometimes it's cruelty to go on, and in that case I felt a Miserable exploratory surgery was going to do my cat no good ,and just make the end of his life worse. I got to hold him as he died, and that is good enough for me.
I have a feeling he won't be mad at me in the afterlife but I am afraid there may be some pets waiting for their owners, going "Do I ever have some words for you,"
The oldest cat I ever met was like 28. My HS pal was super rich I think the cat may have had its own butler or pet. He showed it to me and it was all weird and growly and missing chunks of hair, and I was like, "I wasn't really going to date you before but if this is how you treat the things you LOVE, I am going to get far, far away."
LOL I would have a butler for the crazy, but somehow.... No.

As much as I hate squirrels, I don't want to see them suffer. Someone suggested when I live trapped them to take the trap down to the lake and drown it. Nope. Couldn't do it and Jackie couldn't either. Never believed in those, "leg traps" either, or whatever they're called.... maybe that didn't come out right, but this meal sure did !!!

I'm not afraid to be strait up with my vet...I will ask them point blank, is this a cashectomy or can you really help this animal to be more healthy/comfortable...it's funny but they seem to "get this" and give an honest answer. This is a double edged sword because on a couple of occasions, it led me to decide to euthanize my pet rather than subject them to questionable medical practices...a rock and a hard place is nowhere one wants to find themselves...
Everyday things that were once a "foreign language" might include home ownership and maintenance and repair requirements to a dwelling's structural integrity and ancillary systems such as HVAC, plumbing, wiring etc. Maintenance and repair of transportation vehicles, be they autos, bikes or boats may have seemed like learning a foreign language at one point. Unless one digs ditches for a living, they virtually have had to learn a foreign language to become proficient and professional in their career choice and excel and advance as they learn and use knowledge.
Along the way, we all have "touched" many things we didn't know "what it was". Sometimes regrettably and other times with a joyous epiphany.
So it is with cooking. At times, it's like learning a foreign language and I delight in finding many foods and favor combinations I've never heard of or tried before. Often there are associated words and meanings I don't understand. Google is my friend (actually DuckDuckGo) ... and I don't get screwed at the drive-thru
