This is not an easy grid.

hello, scrabbler

8:15 am

crosshair

Good morning, everyone. :)

8:15 am

HarryHood

hola

8:16 am

phaeton

hell...O stats pls

8:17 am

crosshair

Have a new bed coming today, and I knew I was in fr it financially when the sales person kept calling it a 'sleep system" instead of a bed--that and them having every part priced separately. Hit the pocketbook hard!

8:18 am

melonheadjujube

good morning

8:18 am

crosshair

Howdy. :)

8:19 am

Scrabbler

Oh, no, Crossy.

8:19 am

HarryHood

maybe for that price it also makes your coffee in the morning?

8:19 am

crosshair

So it should--it seems to do everything else. :)

8:20 am

crosshair

It is a "Legett and Platt" adjustable split-king bed of all things.

8:20 am

Scrabbler

I need at least one new mattress, really 2 so that the guest room has a nicer one.

8:20 am

HarryHood

circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of it?

8:20 am

Uneaixoise

Morning, all!!

8:21 am

HarryHood

hi une

8:21 am

crosshair

howdy, Une. ;)

8:21 am

HarryHood

we need new mattresses here

8:22 am

crosshair

they are insanely expensive things now--coil-less, bunches of layers that include cooling, memory foam, and a few other things I have no idea what they do.

8:23 am

HarryHood

it's been years and years since we've bought a new mattress.

8:23 am

welki

'morning, from the gal who got rid of the ridiculously expensive mattress and is now sleeping on a hybrid mattress bought online. my hips thank me.

8:23 am

HarryHood

what is a hybrid mattress?

8:23 am

crosshair

All I know is they sold me the second they laid me down on it, gave me the remote, and told me to push the "zero-G" button. :)

8:24 am

HarryHood

heh

8:24 am

Scrabbler

Zero G?

8:24 am

crosshair

it is one of those bleeding-edge foam mattresses that all the big adjustable bed companies are using.

8:25 am

melonheadjujube

Ah, mattresses. I'm having shoulder issues: biceps tendinitis and possibly other rotator cuff stuff. I have a zillion year old Temperpedic. Inertia and fear of being overwhelmed by choices need to be overcome.

8:25 am

welki

according to the mattress mavens, it's "old school," but it suits us, and is made in canada. edges are solid, crossy - that was one of the complaints we had about kingsdown

8:25 am

crosshair

yea, Scrabby, it is a pre-set, and the head of the bed comes up just s, as does the fot of the bed, then it add a slight arch for your legs. I swear I could feel my entire spine decompressing. lol

8:25 am

crosshair

foot*

8:26 am

HarryHood

this is all giving me anxiety. I think we will keep our old "hybrid" mattresses

8:26 am

Scrabbler

Will I be required to buy new box springs? Why replace those?

8:27 am

crosshair

melonhead, the best thing you can do is budget yourself first, then remove 10% for deals and coupons, then take the remaining figure and double it!

8:27 am

welki

we ditched the box spring and opted for a mattress that sits on a platform (but not adjustable)

8:27 am

Scrabbler

Ah. So is it lower?

8:28 am

crosshair

I had to do something, My apnea was destined to have me swallow my own tongue one night using a regular flat mattress.

8:29 am

welki

scrabs, that was another problem with our fancy-shmancy set - i needed a ladder to get up on the bed. the platform lowers it, and we opted for a lower mattress, too - so i can actually sit down on the bed, and my feet reach the floor when i get up (i'm sooo short)

8:29 am

welki

no cpap, crossy?

8:29 am

melonheadjujube

I wuv you, crosshair! Now I know I'm not alone in making life into a story problem!

8:30 am

crosshair

yes, but it gets very tiresome. I just hate the feeling of having air rammed down my throat all night by what is basically a very expensive vacuum cleaner that pushes air.

8:31 am

crosshair

Plus, I am a "side sleeper" with a beard. makes it very difficult with the mask.

8:31 am

melonheadjujube

Now, back to Babbling. . . hint for the im+ for nbt?

8:31 am

HarryHood

chemical ending

8:32 am

melonheadjujube

Thank you, HH!

8:33 am

welki

we're waiting for news that the closing on the house we've sold is complete - sitting on pins and needles until its "official"

8:34 am

HarryHood

sending you good mojo welki

8:34 am

crosshair

lol, Good stuff, welki!

8:35 am

HarryHood

first pass done. 42 left. must go make coffee

8:35 am

melonheadjujube

diamine

8:35 am

Scrabbler

I was off researching mattresses.

8:35 am

melonheadjujube

oh, PB for me. SORRYYY!!!!!

8:35 am

crosshair

here, the market is so hot, the average time a home sits for sale is about seven days before it is sold, and in most cases a bidding war develops. A friend I work with sold his home for 40K above asking, and the buyer bought all the furniture as well!

8:35 am

MLFAN17

i have been doing that off and on too scrab

8:36 am

Scrabbler

I already had that, melon.

8:36 am

crosshair

Bed/mattress research is a very dark rabbit hold with no bottom in sight.

8:37 am

MLFAN17

ty melon

8:37 am

Shirlockc

i would sell myself if i had another place to live

8:37 am

Scrabbler

Another concern is delivery--can I choose the day or will they tell me the day?

8:37 am

melonheadjujube

I feel slightly better then, Scrabbler XD

8:37 am

MLFAN17

my hubby and i want a mattress with no foam

8:37 am

melonheadjujube

yqw MLFAN17

8:37 am

crosshair

they dold me the delivery day. gave us a three hour delivery window, but they are taking the old bed away for us as well. :)

8:37 am

Scrabbler

Straw, MLFAN?

8:38 am

crosshair

told

8:38 am

MLFAN17

i have heard their are straw types but they can cause bugs

8:38 am

Scrabbler

I need to choose the delivery time.

8:38 am

crosshair

The bed will be here between 2 P.M and 5 P.M today apparently. :)

8:39 am

MLFAN17

they might tell you what they have and you choose from that

8:39 am

Scrabbler

That works better for me.

8:39 am

crosshair

The money it costs to buy them now, I am sure they will work with you as far as delivery goes, scrabby.

8:40 am

crosshair

the experience is on par with buying a new car these days!

8:40 am

Scrabbler

Grrrr

8:41 am

crosshair

I was so overwhelmed by online choices, that I surrendered, and just went into my local Sleep Country" store instead.

8:42 am

welki

(our house sold in less than a week)

8:42 am

crosshair

They had about 20 beds there from about 10 different manufacturers, and I could "test drive" them all.

8:43 am

crosshair

Indeed, welki; the current market is making owners of average, run-of-the-mill homes into instant millionaires!

8:44 am

crosshair

And average home on a town lot, a bit of a fixer-upper, is STARTING around 650k

8:45 am

crosshair

Nice turn-key stuff starting about 750-800K

8:45 am

MLFAN17

i have seen fixer uppers in canada too VERY expensive

8:46 am

MLFAN17

hokie carla

someone owns a house in OH and they used my phone number (which I've had since ~1996) in the documents, and I get calls and texts like every other day from someone wanting to buy that house. so annoying.

8:52 am

MLFAN17

hokie what the?

8:53 am

hokie carla

back during the election I got tons of texts from political groups for him and his wife. googled and discovered he died last Aug. I guess the house is still in his name for now.

8:55 am

MLFAN17

sometimes it takes these real estate places a while to take houses that were sold off of their webpages

8:56 am

hokie carla

mr. homie was telling me the people calling just make lists of people interested in selling and then they sell those lists to the groups actually buying

8:58 am
