Ooh, that reminds me that I do have a sexy picture of me that I could use as an avatar. I will need to get on that.

This reminds me. There is a bus shelter downtown with a picture of a naken woman's torso with red boxing gloves covering her breasts. I think that'd be a great avatar.

Couldn't find that but there is this one:

I think they've changed the marketing for them, so they're going by different names now, but I have yet to lie in a bed anywhere that is as comfortable. Go find one and lie on it and I dare you not to buy it.

Do you like a soft or firm mattress? I've slept on a bed with at least a latex top (if not latex the whole way through), and it was pretty nice. Good for allergies, too.

Old school tempurpedic, yes, but the new beds for the past few years take no breaking in. The lma has the latex sealy -- he hates it and prefers mine.

In other words, JP, get thee to a furniture store and check the beds out for yourself.

I saw that on a recent trip and am still kicking myself I didn't take a picture of it for Gwinky. What's your excuse?

I thought I'd be able to find it online. Maybe I should pay attention to what it's advertising.

My mil has a Tempurpedic, and we've slept on it at her house many times, including for a two-week stretch. I'm not a fan. It conforms to your body, there aren't pressure points, etc.--all good. But if you want to change position or--heaven forfend--roll over, you have to heave yourself up out of your weight-created ditch. There's just no spring-back to help you move around. And that also makes them impossible for the kids to jump on (granted, not a serious flaw if you don't have kids).

On the recommendation of someone here, we got a natural latex mattress (with a wool-filled quilted top and an all-cotton cover) from flobeds.com. I love it. It feels really soft, but doesn't lack spring and is perfectly supportive. I've had much less lower-back pain in the four+ years we've had it.

Tell that to the company that makes them. They say it's latex. http://www.betweenthesheets.co.uk/la...ing-sheets.htm

The Houston Press came up with a helpful diagram and definition. (We have a street that was once full of live music venues that has recently been taken over by high-ish end bars, and the indie music folk have been bitching for the last week about it because the last live music venue on the street announced it is closing at the end of the month.)

Their definition: "(n) An individual who has an over inflated sense of self worth, compounded by a low level of intelligence, behaving ridiculously in front of colleagues with no sense of how moronic he appears."

So what's the female equivalent? A Hank?
