I have asked myself: If we do get into an adult community and it ends up just as noisy as the mainstream, then what? Where would we go from there? I guess the best thing to do if we really are so destined to live in noisy environments, would be to strive to buy some trashy old trailer in some trashy old trailer park. That way there would at least be no rent/mortgage. Just a small fee for the use of the lot it was on, and that can’t be more than a few hundred a month.

Right now, though, we have to figure out how to stop this lower back pain I wake up with so often. I pulled the 4” all-memory topper off to see if sleeping on just the original 4” regular foam and 1” memory topper would help since that is firmer and doesn’t sag as much, but it doesn’t.

It seems the only types of mattresses I don’t have problems with are water and air mattresses. I’m hoping that if I got a coil mattress that would solve the problem but since I don’t want to spend money until after the move, we dug the old air mattresses out of the shed and will see how my back does with that if it doesn’t leak. We set it up on top of the original foam mattress so that if it does spring a leak in the night I’ll at least bottom out on the foam and not the wooden platform. To me, air mattresses are way more comfortable than foam, but I’m getting older now and I just don’t know if my back can take the kinds of mattresses I used to sleep on. I just know that foam, memory or not, is a no-no. I need coil, air or water. I did some research and they recommend medium-firm support for lower back pain. I just wish all this back and hip pain would back the hell off. I’m 46, not 76.

Tom and I went to Carl’s Jr. earlier for burgers and fries. We were going to go shopping but decided not to since we’ve spent enough money lately. I still want to take as little from the savings as possible till we get moved. Even then, there are things we’ll need to get for the new place, then there’s still my teeth. It seems there’s always something.

LOL, sooo like Andy… when the telemarketer called him today he asked the guy how many men were in his department. Twenty, he was told. Then Andy offered to give all of them blowjobs over the weekend. The guy politely told him to have a nice day, LOL.
