Enforcer84 Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread Yup. Best-known as the frontman for The Replacements' date=' the greatest band ever. His solo stuff has wandered between good to great with occasional moments of absolute crap, but his latest is firmly in the "great" category. And it's only $0.49, so everybody should buy it.[/quote'] I liked the Replacements. I think. I'll give it a check out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliceTheOwl Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread It cost me $30 to send a large four-pound box to Seattle via priority mail. Raise shields before looking at the price tag. It was actually less than $15. Apparently, mailing things to members of the US Army is cheaper than it might be, normally. Makes sense, though. It's not like she ASKED them to send her to a war-torn country. (She tells me she's seen a camel spider, but it was "only a baby - about the size of my hand." ) I have another reason to be happy. Josh and I got a memory foam mattress topper. Wow. I could get used to not waking up sore all over, feeling like I spent the night on the floor. When I get in bed, I slowly sink in, and it moulds to me. It feels like falling asleep on Mom's lap, back when I was small enough to do such a thing.

AliceTheOwl Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread Almost the same, exact thing. The only difference is the brand; this is a store brand, developed by one of their vendors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliceTheOwl Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread out of curiosity' date=' how much was the mattress?[/quote'] A little under $200 at Target. We're doing some belt-tightening to afford it, but I figure it's worth it. For the first time in several years, I haven't been waking up with aches in my hips and shoulders.

Hates me some yellowjackets, yessir. I'm pretty kind to animals. Take black widow spiders and rattlesnakes out into the country. Yellowjackets, I kill them. No mercy. Something about being stung by the horrible things hundreds of times in the past. Though I find I'm mostly immune to their stings. Got hit by one three years back in the face and last year in the arm. Slight bump that went away in a couple hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edsel Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread I was stunned yesterday to find out that the Oklahoma Department of Transportation (my employer) had done a market study and decided that I should get a 9.12% pay raise.

Nice to hear, my cynical nature can be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has a cover that has about an inch of plush padding, then the memory foam itself is about two inches thick. I can't even feel our rock-hard mattress underneath it. I suspect I could camp out on the floor in this thing, though I don't want to try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I find I'm mostly immune to their stings. Got hit by one three years back in the face and last year in the arm. Slight bump that went away in a couple hours. I've killed 6 wasp/yellowjacket nests this year around my house. One of them was huge. It was in the downspout on the corner of my house. I kept spraying it, and more and more kept flying out. I think I counted 21 dead bodies after it was over, plus all the larvae in the nest. I dunno why I don't like 'em, I just don't. Bees, on the other hand, I loves to pieces. We got a friggin' swarm of them around our blue spireas last year. It was nice to see them all humming around, working. And they were really friendly, too. When I needed to adjust the sprinkler I'd just move the bush aside with my hand. The bees would buzz around me, not bothered at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemming Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread Yep. Bees are cool. I dealt mainly with underground nests of yellowjackets. Those you wait until darkness, then dig them up while pouring boiling water on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
