StreetLamp




It is with great fanfare and much excitement that I announce THEY FINALLY REPLACED THAT BLINKING STREET LIGHT ABOVE OUR HOUSE!
I noticed a ruckus and flashing lights outside a couple nights ago, and opened my door to the glorious sight of a cherry picker replacing the sick, flickering light that has been dogging us for the past 5 years. Nothing more distracting than watching TV and seeing the streetlamp flicker on...then off...then on...then off.

Craig's List

I'm doing some spring cleaning and selling a few things on Craig's List, including a bird cage. Some of the people I get emails from are baffling. Like:

"I'm interested in your birdcage if you still have. I don't have internet access so you can leave me an email at xxxxx@yahoo.com. Or you could just call me David at (425)xxx-xxxx Thank you"

Just don't call me late for dinner...

Why buy a mattress...

Suzy and I caved and bought a new mattress this weekend, to replace the aging and small 7 year old full-sized model. We'll get delivery on Tuesday of the Simmons BeautyRest, and I for one can hardly wait. Because After all, as close as you are to your partner, there´s one thing you don´t need to share: Sleep motion. Each Simmons® Beautyrest® virtually eliminates transfer of motion with a patented Pocketed Coil® or Pocketed Cable Coil™ technology blah blah blah. Hee hee.

It features a "pillow top" that's cushiony and squishy, as opposed to the temperapedic mattress material we've used (and used by NASA). Hopefully I'll be able to sleep better, and so will Suzy.

Mr. SalesGuy, Skip Winkerson, said some people come into the showroom with their pillows and take naps on different mattresses.

We did take a test lie in the "Rolls Royce" of mattresses, the $5400 model. It was nice. But $5400? Don't think so.
