Amerisleep AS3 Reviews

  My Amerisleep AS3 Unboxing Video (Surprise, my voice is ridiculous!) If I can (just barely) do it, you can totally tackle a bed-in-a-box by yourself. Updated 10/15/22 Amerisleep's AS5 was recently featured as the 'Best Soft Mattress in a Box' by Good Housekeeping , with the panel of reviewers noting: Pressure relief for side sleepers Taller than other boxed mattresses Good customer service    Amerisleep Mattress Reviews  We've been happy Amerisleep customers since purchasing our first AS3 mattress more than 9 years ago. Now we also have an AS2 and an AS4 (the AS3 is still our favorite). Born with chronic insomnia  (even as a baby - my family insists I was a nightmare), the struggle to improve my sleep is my life. My husband, the overly-analytical mechanical engineer, was initially skeptical of a mail-order mattress, but he was quickly won over. 2012: Wine glass test, sans wine. I was fairly confident our brand-new mattress would pass with f

Laminate Floors

For those of you who doubt the durability of laminate floors, I present: Pica! A hyper Jack Russell is no match for this floor. Even her claws sliding across it do not do any harm. (Dropping an attachment from your stand mixer will leave a dent though, as I learned the hard way.)(Roomba also cannot be trusted after leaving swirls on the floor. Punk robot!) As an added bonus, since Pica cannot get much traction on this floor, she slides excitedly into the wall, the door, the fridge, (etc, etc!) whenever we come home. MUST.KILL.ROPE! MUST.FLIP.UPSIDE.DOWN! Aaaaaaaaugh!

Doggie Day Job

I needed to access an old Qwest bill, but was having trouble setting up an online account. I selected the Online Chat option. The representative and I got off to a good start. Providing verification that I was indeed the account owner would be simple enough, right? I told the representative my name, account number, and billing zip code, as requested. A few minutes passed before receiving any reply. "To verify your identity, what is the answer to your secret account question?" Ummm...my what? It's a bit stupid tricky to answer a question that hasn't been asked. I inquired specifically what the secret account question was. Another pause. "If you cannot answer your secret account question, instructions for resetting your online password can be mailed to you." I asked again WHAT IS THE QUESTION?! I wrote that I was sure I could answer the question, if only I knew what it was. No response. I wrote a few common question/answer combinations that I thought it

LINK UP! Blog Hop Time with LambAround

Happy Saturday, everyone! Wondering where the heck Lamb and her Sexy Nerd have been this week? Well, you know how we have been house hunting, hopeful of taking advantage of the super-low interest rates and buyer's market? We've been busy putting in an offer on... a 13.1 acre lot in the mountains ! Nothing is ever as clear cut and simple as it seems, is it? And now, my bloggy friends, let's link up with another Not "Baaad" Sundays blog hop. I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone else has been doing this week!

Linky Party! Come Blog Hop the Long Weekend Away

Before (okay, technically after would be just fine as well) linking up this weekend, I'd love, love, LOVE for you to take a second to vote for my latest Kenmore Genius Tips tip, which can be found at http://apps.facebook.com/kenmoregeniustips/?contentPath=/detail/732 via @KenmoreConnect . It's a pretty snazzy tip, if I do say so myself. It's all about getting your picky kids to eat (wonderful because parents just loooove getting child care advice from childless twenty-somethings, right?) You can actually vote once a day, but even just one time would be so super appreciated! And no new house yet, but we're going to spend the weekend looking and will be fixing up our home to sell. There's a house that looks promising (it has a cocktail pool!) online but was too expensive. They dropped their price this afternoon, which sounds like a sign to me. Alrighty, let's share some linky goodness with another Not "Baaad" Sundays blog hop!
