Pregnancy Organizer Give Away!
April 1, 2013 in Pregnancy
I reviewed a Pregnancy Planner a year or so ago and realized I had the one they sent me to review in my desk. It is brand new and needs an owner!
When I was pregnant, I had the hardest time remembering things. This malady is fairly typical for pregnant moms.
Pregnancy Brain
It is inevitable, which is a shame during a time when you have so many details to remember. I was excited to get Pam Socolow's Family Facts Pregnancy Organizer and Planner to review.
Product Description
Becoming a mom is extraordinarily exciting! However, with so much to accomplish before the baby arrives it can also be hugely overwhelming and the Family Facts Pregnancy Organizer & Planner can help her get organized before the baby arrives.
With the Family Facts Pregnancy Organizer & Planner, everything she needs to plan for her baby's arrival is right at her fingertips. It's like having a support staff to find and keep track of all that essential information. Inclusive of:
- Baby Registry Information
- Lists for mom and baby
- Who to call when you go into labor
- Questions for healthcare providers
- And so much more!
This handy all-in-one resource helps pregnant women reduce the stress that comes from all she has to do to prepare for her new bundle of joy. Helpful tips and advice throughout. Written to accommodate both first-time moms and women who already have children.
My Thoughts
As I look through the different sections I am impressed with how comprehensive it is. I think that Pam covered every possible thing you could possibly want to keep track of. I wish I had something like this to look back on with my boys, with all the information in one place.
- Plastic Cover – When I got it at first I was a bit put off by the clear plastic cover, which shows the pretty cover underneath. I wondered why they did that. Then the next day after leaving it on my kitchen counter where T2 accidently spilled a drink, I realized the brilliance! My planner was as good as new. Good call on the cover!
- Journal/Calendar The calendar section could be used as a journalling section, with just the right amount of room for a few sentences each day.
- There is a place to keep track of your prenatal visits.
- I like that she doesn't assume that everyone has an OB. "healthcare provider" is what they are called.
- There are helpful tips along the way too. Some really good ones.
- Pen included – with handy place to store it. So you are always prepared.
I would have benefited from an Organizer like this when I was pregnant with my boys. I would say this is a great buy for pregnant moms! A way to keep organized during your pregnancy as well as a great way to look back on your pregnancy later
You can win one!

listening to a beautiful man's music, i mean a truly beautiful man. I have encountered men/boys that are trying to be beautiful or whom are physically beautiful, yet lack the personality to be considered beautiful even to the gods and goddesses. I recently met this divine creature and am spell bound. I mean, seriously spell bound. He has magical eyes and magic in his eyes. the 2nd day we met, he commented on how we both have fangs, then he proceeded to give me a piece of his ART. I am truly inspired. I leave it at that. I am optimistic that we shall be friends throughout space and time. It is bit of fresh air to my soul to meet someone with many talents, showing the world love, and to accept my love and be completely flattered by it.

|Johnny Depp
Are they still accepting self-tapes? I thought the deadline was Wednesday of last week.
|Kevin Bacon
Has it been cast?
|Kevin Bacon
I was just wondering if cast yet. Sometimes, if something gets cast, we can find the actors youtube audition, which we can then use to see what was wanted and what we could work on.
|Morgan Freeman
I'd say it's cast, since actors already tested for it a while ago.
|Morgan Freeman
Just checked on casting about, and it it's wrapped, the pilot was already shot.
|Glenn Close
Yeah it's cast and shot.
I would caution you against comparing your audition to on of another actor's to see "what was wanted and what we could work on." They cast an actor not a performance. It could be that they liked something about the actor and gave them redirects to get the performance out of the actor. What you see in the YouTube audition could be VERY different from what they wound up with.
Usually when casting kids, ESPECIALLY on the kids' networks, they are looking for look/personality/type/vibe/etc as much as, if not MORE than the acting performance that person gives. They want a kid to BE the character...to embody whatever it is the director/producer/network wants from the role. Your actor not going further almost always has more to do with THAT than with their performance or skill displayed in the audition.
If you are generally getting good feedback from auditions or teachers or coaches then let it go and move on. When the role that is right for your child comes along, they will book it!

ETFs vs. Closed-End: Read the Fine Print
Editor's Note: As part of Mutual Fund Monday, Gregg Greenberg also interviewed Richard Shaker of Shaker Financial Services, whose specialty is trading closed-end funds. to read that interview, please
Just because something looks and trades like an ETF doesn't necessarily make it so.
Investors often confuse exchange-traded funds, or ETFs, and closed-end funds, or CEFs, especially when it comes to investing in a single country. Nevertheless, there are significant differences between the two, and experts recommend reading the fine print before jumping into a particular fund.
"Investors need to do the same degree of comparison shopping they would normally do when choosing between funds, which means digging into things like expense ratios, historical performance and holdings," says Lipper closed-end fund specialist Michael Porter.Closed-end fund shares are listed on securities exchanges, are actively managed and trade intraday on the open market. They typically trade in relation to, but independent of, their underlying net asset values, or NAVs. That means that unlike open-end mutual funds, shares of closed-end funds can trade at premiums or discounts to their underlying NAVs, a feature that many investors find attractive. "For long-term holders buying a fund at a discount, all distributions are more valuable than they would be if purchased for a full dollar on the dollar," says Richard Shaker, closed-end fund specialist at Shaker Financial. "For short-term traders, being able to buy when discounts are deeper and sell when they are less is also an advantage." Conversely, traders can also short CEF shares they believe are trading at too great a premium. Premiums and discounts arise in closed-end funds due to swings in sentiment, shifts in perception of the fund's manager, historical performance and, of course, good old supply and demand. For example, The Brazil Fund's (BZF) average discount to net asset value has been 16% over the past five years. Substantial price appreciation, however, has cut that discount practically in half. The fund is currently trading at $39.30, just an 8.5% discount.

I have been a participant in politics, in one way or another, for more than 50 years and I have never seen a campaign more dishonest or lacking in substance like that of the Mandy Powers Norrell's campaign for the S.C. Senate. When she makes a charge that is retorted by the chairman of Lancaster County Council, she is either poorly informed or is outright misleading. We don't need a senator like that representing us.
Let's stop for a while and take a look at Lancaster County, and also our state.
First, a comparison of our state and Washington. Our state for a number of years now has been under Republican control (governor, House of Representatives and Senate). This has proven to have the same results as Washington. The last weeks and months have only been bad news for pensions, 401Ks, stocks, banks and other institutions. In all of these, the Republican-led government has consistently pushed deregulation and "Keep government out of our business."
It has been my honor and privilege to serve as your District 4 City Councilman for the past six years.
My entire adult life has been spent in service to Lancaster, including 28 years in law enforcement, retiring as chief of police; 13 years at the Children's Home, retiring as executive director; 26 years in the S.C. National Guard, including an overseas deployment in Operation Desert Storm, retiring as sergeant major; and I am still serving as a Commissioned Lay Pastor at Old Waxhaw Presbyterian Church and Wade Presbyterian Church.
You know me. You worked beside my parents at Springs, you taught me in school, you saw me grow up – you helped raise me.
You worship beside me, your children go to school with mine, and you love this community as much as I do.
It is because of you that I am running for Senate. I feel so blessed to have grown up here and that is why I chose to make this my home and raise my children here. You have given me so much and I want to give back – I want to serve you in the statehouse.
Last month I wrote a column called "What Politics Should Be." It was a hopeful invitation to my opponent and her supporters to discuss the issues I thought were important to our area: jobs and the economy, taxes and spending and education.
This column is less hopeful. It is called "What Politics Really Is."
I honestly cannot believe this happened, and if I hadn't seen it myself with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it.
I am a freshman at the University of South Carolina at Lancaster. One of my classes is University 101. Recently, Mandy Powers Norrell came to speak to us. Our teacher, Laura Humphrey, assured us she wasn't there to campaign, but only to talk to us about the voting process, about getting involved, and on the importance of voting.
I want to urge my supporters to take time when they vote to touch my name on the electronic ballot.
Although I am unopposed, unless you actually vote for me, no vote will be recorded, and a write-in could win the seat if enough write-ins for that person were recorded.
I pledge to continue working hard to serve the children of our district and to make our schools a place where all children reach their potential.
I am not a politician. I don't have a master's degree in education. I am one of the people. I haven't been "in the system for over 30 years." I don't have friends in the system. I have no direct financial interest in the school system.
I see children failing and our schools calling them a success, because it wouldn't be fair not to. I see children being pushed through school and advanced to the next grade when they are not ready. I see children screaming that they need help, and not finding it.

Looks good and helps protect the rear fender. I only use it when I need it, like when I'm traveling.

Excellent quality, fit perfectly.
2hogs Posted:
The quality is fine but I would really like to have something a little larger. This was the only rack I could find that will work with a Danny Gray seat.
kelso_j Posted:
Perfect fit on my 2004 Road King Custom. I have a Corbin solo seat with the chrome v-rail. It is a great addition to my ride. Got rid of the leather fender cover...the chrome is a BIG improvement.
kelso_j Posted:
This rack is the perfect addition to my 2004 RK Custom. It was an easy install and fits well with the Corbin Solo seat with the chrome V-Rail. Thanks J&P Cycles!
Requires Adobe Flash Player
(1) Requires using the stock pillion seat mounting holes. If you cannot install the stock pillion seat, this rack will not fit your bike. (2) Can be used with other seats that attach the rear of the seat to the center bolt location. Rack mounts using the two rear seat bolt locations. (3) Can be used with other seats that attach the rear of the seat to the front seat bolt location. Rack mounts using the two front seat bolt locations.

The fun, flirty, fashionable golf blog - We cover golf for women & men... competitive players & casual fans. Golf is our passion.
Feb 8, 2010
Christina Kim, John Raser & New Media for Golf Fans
The Talent
Christina Kim: Embulent, engaging and ultra-talented LPGA golfer.
John Raser: Pro Golfer on the road to the PGA Tour.
The Tools
UStream: a website platform for live video streaming of events online.
Twitter: a social networking and microblogging service.
iPhone: an internet enabled smartphone designed and marketed by Apple Inc.
The Event
The Twitter Open 2010: A livestreaming "golf match for the ages" pitting Ms. Kim against Mr. Raser with a week of caddying hanging in the balance.
✩ ✩ ✩ ✩
The match went down yesterday, Superbowl Sunday, in Orlando, Florida, possibly marking the beginning of a new era in golf on the social medias ...or something like that.
I won't tell you how it turned out... you can read that here or here, or myriad other places... but suffice to say it rocked! Both as an entertaining golf show with two engaging stars, and as a demonstration of the power of the evolving social media platforms we have at our disposal. Though there are still occasional glitches, the potential is impressive, and when the players are as awesome as Christina and John it doesn't even matter that much. BTW, as you can see from the photo above, Christina was wearing an ultra-cute outfit.
If that had been the extent of it, it would already be impressive but Waggle Room's Ryan Ballengee took the social sharing to the next level by joining the new media golfers for intimate midnight three-way on ooVoo to discuss the day's event. Video chat... I meant a three-way video chat, filth mongers. ~ Anyway, it was a great way to recap/wrap-up the event and extend the virtual word-of-mouth message that there some awesome new ways to connect and communicate that can be engaging, immediate and relatively easy to use.

Please, please, please tell me when they do another one. That sounds so cool.ReplyDelete
Cool stuff. Christina Kim brings excitement to everything she does. Golf needs more of her.ReplyDelete
If this could be a way for us to get more and better and more events in the future it would be great. I just hope the FCC can do something about the low standards of US broadband speeds. If this were in Japan or even in France where speeds are higher. The quality would be far better.ReplyDelete
- MarcoMan2/08/2010 5:33 PM
If Christina was anything like she was at the Solheim Cup it must have bee a great show.ReplyDelete
What do the tours think about this? It will be interesting to see if they come up with stricter social media policies as more of their players get involved. For though, now I guess we better enjoy the creative content.:)ReplyDelete
This was a blast to watch. But wait until I take on Ballengee—now there's a match! ;o)ReplyDelete
Ash - Sounds like the next event might involve a couple of golf bloggers. Heather - Keep us posted on when you're beating ... I mean "taking on".. Ryan. Growl - You raise a good point about connection/download speeds, they are faster in Asia and Europe. Hopefully something will be done to improve on that soon. Shark - I agree. The tours have been know to respond in ... strange... ways. :o\ReplyDelete
Her book comes out soon...can't wait!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the lovely updates here...good to know the spicy sports news of the recent times.ReplyDelete

Tips and tricks for your next summer soiree
Looking to throw an all-out summer soiree that is bound to be the talk of the neighborhood? Or maybe just an intimate barbecue with some of your friends? Don't be afraid to explore new ideas for hosting your summer party, showing off your hosting skills to all your friends.
• Get your grill on: Creative grilling starts before your meat and veggies hit the heat, and a splash of citrus flavor is just what they need to stand out among the crowd. Add the tang of freshly squeezed lemon juice to chicken marinades and the kick of lime zest to spicy dry rubs for steak and chops.
• Shake up some cocktails: Grab a variety of spirits with a few favorite mixers. Place them in a designated area of the room along with lemons and limes for garnishes. This will take the burden off you to feel required to replenish your guests' drinks and let you enjoy your party. If you're looking for that perfect summer refreshment and a signature drink for your party, try making this simple yet delicious lime cooler from Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger of Los Angeles' acclaimed Border Grill.
Minty Lime Cooler (Makes 2 servings)
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup packed mint leaves
1 (12 ounce) bottle cold sparkling water lime slices and mint sprigs for garnish
Combine the lime juice, sugar and mint in a blender. Puree until smooth. Fill two tall glasses half-full with ice cubes. Pour half of the lime juice concentrate in each. Top with sparkling water, garnish with lime and mint and serve. For a Mojito, adults can pour 1 ounce white rum into tall glass with ice, and top with Minty Lime Cooler.
• Choose a theme: Everyone loves a good party theme. Pick a food theme like southern barbecue or Mexican. Or choose a theme for attire such as "all white" or "summer hats." Ambiance is also key, since it will set the tone of any party. Invest in some fun patio lights, lanterns or tiki torches to place around your yard if you plan to utilize your outside space.
• Don't forget the kids: If you know children will attend your party, have kid-friendly items ready for them to play with such as chalk or bubbles. Better yet, rent a bounce house. The kids are sure to entertain themselves for hours while parents can take a break and enjoy the party.

On-Demand Versus On-Premise CRM
Are There Performance Differences?
Jim Dickie and Barry Trailer | 02 March 2007, 13:00 | Customer Relationship Management/CRM | View Preview
Since the release of the original paper two questions have consistently been raised: 1) Is On-Demand for real? And 2) In addition to core CRM capabilities (contact management, opportunity management, forecasting, etc.) what other functionality are firms looking to enhance their CRM platform?
The verdict is in and while not unanimous it is clearly beyond reasonable doubt: On- Demand is for real. In the early years of hosted solutions, arguments could be made about lack of access, speed, security, customizability, uniformity or affordable carriers. Essentially all of these have been addressed by enhancements to the applications and the ubiquity of high-speed, relatively low cost and wireless Internet access.

Because my mother's given me more nightmares than terrorists, I decided to walk to school today. Nothing wakes you up more than a brisk 40-minute walk through Madrid at 8 A.M.

Penthouse PauperMember
Very well researched and written article. Most of my sentiments about John's history to a "T" It also touches on some of John's sentiments, too! John has stated that he wanted to put out songs fairly regularly so Creendence Clearwater Revival was on the charts almost constantly. I think that's why the music is in most people's conciseness today. It was so beautifully produced and arranged by John that it sure does stand the test of time. I remember back in 1968 when "Proud Mary" hit the charts I was 20 years old and fell in love with a sound that I still cherish so much to this day. 1968 to 1972 were such heady days in music and John Fogerty was at the forefront of it for me, and for a lot of other people also.
It is refreshing that someone so young would take the time to investigate John Fogerty's history in Creedence Clearwater Revival and hit it just about spot on. I say bravo!!!!!
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
Today is the present, and this is a gift my friendsJuly 19, 2013 at 11:38 am #1232
Ms Anderson sure can pack a good punch on the arm when she talks about music. She is a musician herself, and her handsomely wordsmithed essay on Creedence is an enjoyable read.
She talks about listenin' to, I Put A Spell on You as a teen when her Pops would play it while barbequing on the weekends and how it captivated her neurons.
I loved the parts when she tried to explain the long-lasting impression John's music held over us as a nation.
The tricky thing is that unless you lived during the late 1960's, early 1970's, you really have no idea on how rotten the world was. Creedence gave the world HOPE. Just as simply and plainly as hope can rise, like bread waiting to be kneaded and placed in the dish in the oven – the world needed the music of Creedence.
Anderson gets into the later discovery of the nitty-gritty of how people flat-out stole from this great composer, but in the end – good triumphs over evil. Thus, the release of, Wrote A Song for Everyone. The compositions are slicker with better tune compression (and other technical terms start to take over the essay) but Anderson writes with a certain flair for all things earthy, good and wholesome.
Creedence was good for the soul in the 1960's and as good as they were then, they're sounding even better (how is that possible?) these days. In either the original skins of Creedence, or in the slicked-up and captivating modern versions of those Creedence classics, having a listen to Fogerty's songs will set you right up for the day and anything that comes along.
Have a good day and thank you, Guessy Gal for bringing this nice article along for sharing.

Koans and the 12 Steps
A monthly meditation meeting discovering how 12 Step practice and Koans influence each other.
At Santa Rosa, Every Second Friday of the Month, From 7 – 8:30pm
You are invited to join us for a monthly meditation meeting discovering how 12 Step practice and Koans influence each other. No experience required in either 12 Steps, Koan practice or meditation.
Sitting with the 12 steps will deepen their influence upon you, enriching your life of recovery. Applying koans will take you deeper yet, in all aspects of your life; they bring a practicality and usefulness today, just as they did in Lin-Chi's time (9th century), where you can pass your wisdom (prajna) on to others, especially to those you sponsor. This has been a powerful experience for me.
The format is sitting with a koan for 25 minutes, then opening it up for discussion.
We meet on the 2nd Friday of each month. The step we'll work on will correspond to the number of the month.
Please go to my blog for more info: 12 Steps and Zen Koans »
Together let's take this leap from a 100-foot pole! After all, what worked for me can work for you.

Cool Animal Inspired Lighting for Children's Rooms
Light up your child's room with our current pick of stylish animal themed lamps, wall lights, and night lights.
One of my favourite online stores, Nubie, really hits the right note with unusual children's lighting by hip US brand Offi. Take your pick from either the stylish My PetLamp Dachshund Light (left) or the Howee Pup Graffiti Lamp (right). For those who are creative and delight in customising things, you'll be pleased to know that the Howee Pup Graffiti Lamp, as the name suggests, comes complete with red and black marker pens which can be used to customise the lamp with your own patterns or Banksy style graffiti.
Each light uses a low voltage 12 watt bulb, making them perfect quirky night lights for your little tots. Each light is £52 and both are available in a variety of colours. I'm coveting the Dachshund light for my own bedroom – It's about the closest I'll get to owning a dog at the moment… Two kids and a dog will tip Hubby over the edge methinks!
Another favourite in the lighting department is the design classic Pigeon wall light by Ed Carpenter for Thorsten Van Elten. This light attaches to the wall by a retro clothes peg and comes in a variety of colours. It's £59 and is widely available on-line, including from the Little Baby Company, yellow terry jumpsuit delight by Danish label Alba Baby, and in store at Liberty.
We featured these super cool illuminating pet lights from Leigh Harmer last year. Made from lightweight polypropylene, you can sit them on a floor or side table, and they're safe enough to be used as nightlights and they can also be picked up by your child. You can get a cat, sheep, or dog with prices ranging from £34.50 – £48.30

I made this recipe exactly as written. Even in my large metropolitan area, it was tricky finding the kirsch, so plan ahead. For 5 adults, the entire recipe vanished quickly. It was delicious with a mellow, complex flavor. I used Cabernet Sauvignon and Penzey's spices. After it was finished simmering, I transferred the mixture to a large thermos type pitcher so it would stay hot/warm for serving. Absolutely delicious. This will be my new pre-Thanksgiving and pre-Christmas meal beverage. By the way, I popped out the cheesecloth spice bundle and heated it with apple cider and a cinnamon stick in the microwave for my teenage granddaughter.
I made a batch of this for Thanksgiving, everyone loved it, and it quickly disappeared. The only changes I made were: Sweet red wine, 3 cinnamon sticks, thin slices of lemon & orange instead of zest, and only 1/4c sugar (since I started with sweet wine). I made a second batch exactly as above, only adding 4 cardamom pods and some candied ginger, and that came out great too!
Down under we enjoy this served chilled or jellied with a vanilla panna cotta. Have made it for Christmas in July when temperatures are more suitable to a warming drink.
Added a couple extra cinnamon sticks and a few extra cloves... With those, turned out great.
I did this recipe last year and all of a sudden my in-laws liked me much much better! I would absolutely suggest this for any cold weather holiday!
This is so yummy. The kirch really takes it to another level. Sweet, warm, perfect. Best mulled wine I've made or had.

"Summer's here and the time is right" for the next installation of an intoxicating Bhakti Groove playlist.
If you think the weather is the only thing sweltering and sticky hot, just wait until you pop this mix on! I always strive to create a mix that's not only appropriate for class, but also equally yummy for a drive to the beach or that outdoor summer concert, or even a spontaneous dance party in your living room.
In keeping with the theme and season, you'll be in for some "hot fun" Sly Stone style, while Guru, the Isley's and SOJA examine the anatomy of a "summer breeze."

This ad gets the distinction of "most sexist ad I've seen this week" …
(Update April 5, 2009: Oops! YouTube pulled it, but there are plenty more sexist ads in the sea.)
And this one gets the nod for "most racist."
Both ads via Feministing.

Tagging has become a integral part of our day to day life, may it be book marking, storing file information or for that matter blogging. Tags make it much more easier to find content and is also more easier to maintain.
WordPress came out with a tagging system called Taxonomy with the release of WordPress 2.3 and since its conception and release it has become a integral part for most of the bloggers.
WordPress allows you to convert your categories to tags using their inbuilt functionality but that leaves a lot to be desired. The conversion is not perfect and that is why there is need for something that helps you manage tags in a much better way.
Better Tags Manager (BTM) is a plugin that allows you to manage your tags with much more ease right from your manage posts admin section.
The usual way of managing tags is by clicking on the post and then editing it, BTM saves you both time and efforts while helping you easily edit your tags.
Once you have downloaded and activated Better Tags Manager you can visit your Manage section to start using the plugin.
In the manage posts section you will see a new icon next to your tags, clicking on it will show you a HTML textbox using which you can easily update your tags without even refreshing the page.
Once you have updated your tags click on the save button and your tags will be updated, clicking on the cancel button will restore you to normal.
In addition to editing single tags you can also edit bulk post tags at once, or add tags to all the selected posts without individually editing them. Adding tags to all posts can be useful when you want to search for a keyword and add tags to all the posts you feel are relevant to the keyword.
To add tags to bulk posts you will need to enter the tags and select the posts you want to update tags for, clicking on the Add Tags to All Posts button will add the tags to the selected posts.
You can also choose the Bulk Edit Mode where you can edit individual post tags and update them all at once. To use bulk edit mode click on the check box and click on Filter or Search button.
Once you do that you should be able to edit the tags for all the posts displayed in the results. After editing the tags click on the button in the top left hand corner called Update Bulk Post Tags to update all the tags you have updated.
And last but not the least with Better Tags Manager you can filter out posts which do not have any tags and add tags to them.
To filter out posts select All Post Which Do not Have Tags option from the Tag Options drop down and click on the Filter button.
There are many different ways in which you can put Better Tags Manager to use and I would love your feedback and opinion on whether BTM will be useful to you or not. You can also let me know additional features you would like to see and I will try my best to incorporate those.
Visit Better Tags Manager release page for other news and downloads.

I Had a Tempurpedic Bed Replaced
Posted by
ARIZONA -- We purchased a new Tempurpedic Bed in 2004, and recently decided that it was not living up to it's warranty. I called the company and explained my concern. They asked me to perform a couple tests on the mattress and take photos. I sent the photos and heard back from them within the week, and was informed that they would be replacing my bed with a new bed.
Approximately a week later I was contacted and a time was given for the delivery. It took about 3 weeks but they delivered the bed promptly, on time, set up very professional and the old mattress hauled away. The new bed is beautiful and I feel that I have no reservations about referring this company.
P. S. I love, love, love, my Tempurpedic Bed.

This company is in the top 5 of worst customer service experiences I have ever had. I still regret purchasing their product and threw it out, a California king mattress, 5 years after it was purchased. It had started to sag after only 3 months and although I had my paperwork and it was under warranty, they refused to replace it. The boxsprings they did replace, because they broke after only a few months. The company rep actually asked if perhaps I was too large of a person and my weight was causing the damage. I said "I don't know, do you think a woman who weighs 120 lbs is too large"? Both a shoddy product and customer service experience with them. Never again will I buy anything they sell.

Break down of mattress
Posted by
consumer regrets
I sleep on a Tempur-pedic mattress and I am one my 5th one now. They last for a couple of weeks or a couple of years but after this they do break down. Mine is at the point that I can barely got off the mattress in the morning due to so much pain. Mattress has been replace 5 times at no cost to me but now I find myself in same position of having to fight with the company to get a mattress that doesn't break down after a few years. These are extremely expensive mattress's and they surely should last longer than a few years. When they are new, most of the ones I have slept on they were great, they just do not last. At first, I had no problem receiving another mattress at no cost, due to the 20 year guaranty. After I had returned so many defective mattress's, they told me they will have to start pro-rating the cost. The mattress that has just broken down is only 5 years old and should not be failing. I believe the first ten years is an unconditional guaranty so it looks like I will be fighting with Tempur-pedic again. Just so you don't think you're crazy if you have one and it is not as comfortable or painless as it once was, it's not you, it's the mattress. They just do not last long.

I got a test sample of the material and by the sample, I could tell its a pretty weak mattress.I don't see the point paying thousands for something that seems weak. Judging by the material, I got it wet and it was like a sponge. It tore pretty easily before that as well. I figured a big mattress would break down before 10 years was up, let alone 20. I love my bed (its nothing fancy, but it was built to last obviously. Its a spring but it works for me. Its over 30 years old, but hardly slept on til recently....I got it from my grandmother...very good condition. I never get back aches.)
trmn8r on 12/26/2011:
There's a few things here. First, if the mattress goes bad time after time, it is likely that this pattern will repeat itself. Next, if the company keeps replacing mattresses, it isn't surprising (though perhaps not legal) that they are saying they will start prorating them. They are probably hoping you will give up and go away, if they have given you 5 for the price of 1.
How long ago did you buy the first one?
GenuineNerd on 12/26/2011:
You would be better off buying an old-fashioned innerspring mattress set-preferably a two-sided one-those have been proven to last for years. If there is a location in your area, I would recommend the Original Mattress Factory. They make a high quality product. Gimmicks like Tempur-Pedic and Select Comfort are just that-gimmicks. Same with the one-sided "no-flip" mattress designs today. When it comes to mattresses, the two-sided innersprings are best...just choose the firmness you need next time you shop for a mattress set. I am happy with my Original Mattress set-and I've had it for 7 years now.

Don't buy a Tempur-pedic if you aren't the exact size of your sleep partner
Posted by
We purchased a Deluxe Queen Tempur-pedic mattress from Slumberland (separate review there, stay as far from that store as you can). My husband is 6'5" and 250 lbs, I am short, 5'4" 150 lbs. We were told that you won't feel a thing from the sleep partner. Well, that is absolutely not true. I am forced to sleep on the edge of the bed, because otherwise I roll towards him. They won't tell you that the mattress sinks in all around, causing the whole side to cave in.
This might be an okay mattress for average sized people that are the same size, but if you are 2 completely different sized people, PLEASE do not buy any Tempurpedic mattress, you will get stuck with something you will be very very uncomfortable sleeping with-the biggest $3000 mistake I've ever made.

great review, very helpful. these types of mattresses are not good for people who like a hard mattress. as you said, they sink all around your body, and allow a dis-alignment of the back.
Sparticus on 06/02/2009:
Thanks for the review. We have been thinking of getting one. I have a bad lower back and thought this would help me sleep. We might have the same problem.
Plots on 06/02/2009:
VERY Helpful review! Thank you SO much for letting us know!
L Lake on 06/02/2009:
I almost bought one of those Tempurpedic mattresses. I changed my mind when someone told me that they get hard during the winter months hot during the summer.
I did pay around $150.00 for a Tempurpedic pillow, and it did get hard in the winter and hot in the summer, so I got rid of it. It's hard to pitch something that cost $150.00, but would be beyond hard to get rid of something that cost $3,000.
If you ever want a new mattress, I can't recommend Sterns and Foster enough. A good nights sleep may be worth selling your current mattress, because sleep is such an important part of your overall health.
Thank you for your post. It was very imformative.
goduke on 06/03/2009:
I found a tempur clone that had a "firm" option (the authentic doesn't). Tried out both the plush and the firm. The plush definitely gave a feeling of falling off the bed, but the firm was an amazing feeling. Bought and I haven't slept that well in many, many years.
lessthanzero on 06/09/2009:
I can't say enough good things about the Tempur-Pedic, king size
Rhapsody bed. I have had a couple of really bad back surgeries, and found that the "regular" bed we had starting to cause more issues. When we purchased the Tempur-Pedic I found that not only did my back feel so much better, I got a much better sleep. Not sure about the bed the OP purchased, but have never had the problem stated with the Rhapsody bed, and my wife is much smaller and lighter than I am.
Sparticus on 06/09/2009:
I wish you could try one out for a night or two. I have a horrible back and am spending so much money on chiropractors and doctors that I am considering getting a new bed to help... But with so many options, and many of them so expensive, it is hard to pick. These Tempurpedic beds are the most expensive of the bunch... and if I find out it gets hard/uncomfortable in the winter, I would be ticked off for spending so much!
Anonymous on 06/09/2009:
Spart, we bought one a couple years ago. It was the best sleep investment we ever made. I too have a bad back and even had spinal fusion. If it was not for our Tempurpedic bed I would never get any sleep. They have me as a customer for life. And we have experienced none of the issues the OP has. I wonder if they may be got a Tempurpedic knock off? A lot of places are selling look alikes as Tempurpedic's these days.
Buy the way they do not get hard in the winter. They are warm in the winter and cool in the summer as they hold one tempeture pretty much all the time. Spart, Tempurpedic has a 90 day in home trial, give them a call.
fbchic on 06/09/2009:
Hello, OP-ster here. No, it wasn't a knock-off. It was a Deluxe Tempurpedic, queen size. In all my research since, and also making sure I wasn't crazy, and also shopping many other beds/stores, what I keep finding over and over is those that are diehard lovers of Temps are a high percentage of people with serious back issues. I don't (didn't, I do now after sleeping on one for 3 months) and if you read all over the net, you'll see a similar pattern. For normal sleepers that don't have previous back surgery, car injuries, etc... this is not a bed I think you'll like. Also, it depends on how long you sleep. I sleep 8-9 hrs a night, and that is WAY too long to be in one exact position-you WILL get stiff, no matter how comfy your bed is. I also live in extreme climates, -40 winters, and the bed is VERY hard. I'd go broke keeping my house at 73-75 degrees all winter just to keep my bed soft!!
Anonymous on 06/09/2009:
fbchic, we bought the King Size, I had back issues and we live in So California. So it all works for us. Like you say some swear by them and some swear at them. Got to get what's right for you.

Online Order Process a Nightmare
Posted by
SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS -- I order numerous products online because I travel 70% of the time and don't always have a lot of time to shop at local stores. It's easier ti find it online and have it waiting for me when I get home. However, I advise against ordering anything from Tempur-pedic online at their store. First, the correct sales tax is not calculated at the time of purchase, nor is there any warning at the time of purchase that the amount being authorized is different than what you will be charged. Second, it specifically states an email confirmation will be sent within 24 hours of the order being placed. It has been 7 business days, and I still haven't gotten a confirmation email. Though it does not say so on the website, it takes up to 21 BUSINESS days to process the order. I emailed customer service and after 3 days received a response that they were unable to locate my order??? Meanwhile, I had called the customer service line and found out about the 21 days and miscalculation in price.
I do have to say the customer service reps were super helpful and nice, but they do not make up for the horrible ordering process. BEWARE of ordering from Tempur-pedic online.

Hang in there as the Tempurpedic is worth every penny you pay for it. We have had one for a couple years now and love it. There is no better bed on the market for people that have back issues. We found a local store that gave us a nice discount, delivered it for free and hauled away our old box spring and mattress. So going into a local store may pay off for you.
TXonlineshopper on 05/26/2009:
Yeah, I should have just taken the time to buy one at the store. We have one already, but we are buying a better model for our new bed. Next time, we will NOT be buying online.
zeldaz on 06/09/2009:
Rather than bother spending thousands for a TempurPedic, we bought a mattress-topper at Costco. We loved it so much, we got them for the kids, too - and haven't come close to the cost of a TempurPedic. It's been three years, and it's as if they were new. I knew to stay away from TempurPedic when I tried to order a sample piece as described on their commercials and never received it. Then I was supposed to receive a callback. Still waiting four years later! It's just not worth it - my back is great with a mattress topper - and I did suffer from our regular mattress. Good luck in whatever choice you make.

|If you give OHmommy rain boots....
|If you give OHmommy rain boots....
|Written by OHmommy
|Tuesday, 13 May 2008 19:00
It rained all day today and I could not have been more excited to wear my new Hunter rain boots.
However, I threw them over my jeans and realized that my outfit would not work. My jeans were simply way too bulky and boot cut. I needed skinny jeans. Skinny jeans became popular when I was pregnant with Fifi and I have had my eyes on them ever since.
I didn't want to invest in an expensive pair because skinny jeans are essentially jean leggings and my post pregnancy body is just not ready to go there yet. Yes... 15 months is considered post pregnancy in my world.
I dropped off the kiddos at preschool and ran to the store with Fifi. Marshalls... brand names for less "Shop On." Perfect for me. I was ready to get my shopping on for the perfect pair of jeans for my boots.
As we dodged the rain in my ballet flats, I noticed a huge sign in the window that read "SHOE MEGASHOP." We walked through the doors and I knew that I was in big trouble. They totally re-vamped their shoe department. They placed all 5,000 square feet of DESIGNER SHOES directly in front of the store by the entrance.
I was in trouble.
I could end the story right now and tell you that I did not even make it to the jean department and walked out with new sassy shoes instead.
That is precisely what happened.
I spent over an hour drooling over stilettos, wedges, and cute sandals. Fifi lead a path of destruction and opened every box in sight. In the newly organized shoe section, each shoe was neatly displayed on top and the available sizes were boxed underneath. It made shopping for shoes so much easier and Fifi had a blast admiring pumps and placing them in and out of their respectful boxes.
We were in shoe heaven!
"This?" She pulled out shoe after shoe and slipped them onto her chubby feet.
I have been looking out for the perfect summer sandal for days at the park, pool, and playground. I can not do flip flops anymore for I believe my legs look too manly, heavy, and muscular. I wanted something simple and with a little bit of a heel to slim down my legs.
I found what I wanted in shoe heaven for just under 30 dollars.

If you give OHmommy rain boots, she will need jeans to match. When OHmommy shops for jeans, she gets distracted by shoes. When OHmommy buys the shoes, she finds a cute top to match. When she puts together the cutest summer outfit, it rains. And when it rains OHmommy will put on her rain boots and realize she needs skinny jeans to match.
Mr. OHmommy is hoping is doesn't rain for a while.
