I need a bed

[Mercutio]

Merc,
What did you buy?

None, yet. I spent most of last week with my parents. I wanted to buy a Serta Mattress from Overstock.com and just be done with it but I was convinced not to.

What's more fun is that each chain has it's own models from each manufacturer, so you can't directly compare.

You might find one that you like at one store, and another store won't have it. But they'll have something comparable -- but subtly different in some way.

So true. This infuriated me no end....

:dunno:

Marriage Bed by Edwina Sandys.

 

[LunarMist]

I don't remember it being on the diagonal.

 

[Mercutio]

Apparently I get to go bed shopping next week. Finally.

 

[LunarMist]

Yay. Did you need permission? :santa:

 

[Bozo]

You picked one helluva week to shop for a mattress!

 

[LunarMist]

What is happening this week in particular?

 

[Mercutio]

What is happening this week in particular?

My parents want to pay for it now.

 

[LunarMist]

Cool. Go for the queen size and maybe find a lady to christen it with. :cheers:

 

[Mercutio]

The, uh, possible candidate is getting an ovarian cyst removed, oh, right about now, actually, and she probably isn't going to want to think about any amount of christening. Plus, she is all the way over by Groltz so it would have to be a very large bed if I wanted to do something like that.

 

[LunarMist]

Damn. You seem to find the women with medical problems. :erm:

Where is Groltz, in Minnesota?

 

[Mercutio]

Washington State. He's neighbors with P5.

 

[LunarMist]

Oh, that Groltz. :idea:

 

[timwhit]

He hasn't been around here for about four years.

 

[Bozo]

What is happening this week in particular?

The last shopping week before Christmas.

 

[LunarMist]

Why banned?

 

[ddrueding]

Why banned?

Not banned. He just made that his avatar. No idea why.

 

[LunarMist]

He banned himself. :bglaugh:

 

[LunarMist]

The last shopping week before Christmas.

Yes, but beds? I have to hit the stores hard on Sunday.

 

[timwhit]

Not banned. He just made that his avatar. No idea why.

Maybe his wife banned him...

 

[Mercutio]

Maybe his wife banned him...

Last I talked to him he was divorced and he decided to switch to pure lurk mode. I don't know if he still lurks or not. That was a few years ago.

 

[Handruin]

I used to chat with him on occasion outside of SF, but something happened and I think maybe I upset him (not sure why), so he changed his avatar and info to read banned. He in no way is banned.

 

[Handruin]

For whatever it is worth, his last post was in 2006 and the last time he's been here feb 2009.

 

[LunarMist]

Washington State. He's neighbors with P5.

Jump on a plane and go there in a few months.

 

[Mercutio]

Jump on a plane and go there in a few months.

I would like to do that. Especially Washington state, which I understand is beautiful. But by then she'll be back in Wyoming.

 

[LunarMist]

Then go to Wyoming. Is she anywhere near Yellowstone?

 

[Mercutio]

She's in Laramie most of the time.

Her tumor was 35lbs. She lost a quarter of her body weight. I'm still trying to wrap my head around that.

 

[ddrueding]

Wow. I suspect that I would notice some time before a tumor reached even 10% of my body weight.

 

[ddrueding]

Laramie is beautiful, the least objectionable part of Wyoming, IMHO. Snows less, pretty country, near CO.

 

[mubs]

As DD said, I'm surprised she didn't notice earlier. Poor thing must have suffered with so huge a mass in her insides.

Oh, that is just awful. Is she terminal?

 

[Mercutio]

Usually if they get that big and you aren't dead they probably aren't going to kill you.

 

[LunarMist]

I wish I had a 25% tumor that could be removed from my stomach and ass.

 

[LunarMist]

So did you get the good bed?

 

[Mercutio]

I've been three different places and haven't made a decision yet. I really don't notice a difference between a $500 mattress and a $1400 one. I suppose the more expensive ones last longer but I don't know that for sure.

 

[time]

Check the weight. Higher grade foam - and possibly more springs - is heavier. If you can barely lift it, it's likely to contain expensive (= durable) materials.

 

[LunarMist]

Buy the ~$1000 one. I'm sure the $500 one is probably weak in some areas.

 

[LunarMist]

Did you finally get the bed for Christmas? Is your ladyfriend recovering?

I was wondering about the same things.
