I had a small one once and digging around in the bottom was a pain. At least, when digging around, all the cold air stayed inside so that was a good thing about it. |

| U.S. Janet B. <JB@nospam.com>: Jun 15 12:25PM -0600 >Yes , I'm old >and crotchety - and armed . >Get outta my woods ! Our 26 cu. ft. chest freezer purchased in the mid-60s at one time had 3 layers. The top 2 layers were sliding baskets that slid on rails attached to the interior walls. Eventually the clips that held the rails broke loose from the walls and really no way to re-attach them. I didn't want to give up my spacious freezer so I tried baskets like laundry baskets to put things in. Those baskets became to heavy to move around when they were full. What I am getting at is if you choose baskets, choose smaller ones that can be lifted when full. I'm currently using the wire baskets that came with the freezer, stacked, side-by-side. I keep the 7 baskets sorted so that I really don't have to rummage around for stuff. Chicken in one, beef, pork, fish, baked goods. It makes it easier if you know where your stuff is. HTH Janet US |

There are many stores that never get my business because of that. In my work life, I've always started early so I could come home early and have life after work each day. I've always gotten home by 3:30 latest. Plenty of time for a real life especially in the summer when it stays light until 9pm Even many restaurants don't open until 11am. By then, I'm over going out again just for food. Fuck em. |

That's pretty much what I expect of any professional organization, which is probably what Kuthe's dealing with, since he's whining about DocuSign. Opening at 8:00 Pacific time is reasonable for an office located in that time zone. Stores are open during the hours when they can maximize their revenue. There's no point opening at 6 am if they're only going to get three customers between 6 and 10 am. > home early and have life after work each day. I've always > gotten home by 3:30 latest.

I come in between 7:30 and 8, and leave around 5, usually. > Even many restaurants don't open until 11am. By then, I'm > over going out again just for food. Fuck em. 11 am is a good opening time for restaurants that serve lunch. Most normal people are ready for lunch between 11 and 1. The world isn't set up for your eccentric convenience.

What's the prob? I signed up for Docusign in March, works like a charm, and no problems. They have plenty of online assistance/tutorials for further exploration. Same with Smallpdf...

All you have to do is go West, young man. On this rock, you can do business with companies on the East coast at 4 AM. I used to get calls at 4 AM back in the old days. That was a lot of fun! OTOH, I used to have to make calls with some companies before 10 AM or else they'd be closed. These days, some companies will have people stay 3 hours later for Westerners. That's a great convenience for us but it must be kind of a shity shift for them. |

I'll never have a damn waterbed. I slept on one once with an old girlfriend and it was annoying. Lean up sideways on an elbow and your elbow sinks right down to the bottom. I have a very old mattress that has outlived it's life. Rather than replace it, I bought 2 foam mattress pads and stacked them one on top of the other. Instant new nice mattress. :) I though waterbeds went out in the 1980's along with those bread bowls for soup that Jill still likes. |

What gets me is that the mattress retailers say (obviously to their benefit) that one should replace mattresses every 10 years, then they sell you one with a 20 year "warranty". |

Newer ones have baffles so you don't bottom out like that. Much different experience. We had one for about 5 or 6 years and quite comfy. In winter you add a little heat too, very nice sleeping in a cool room that way. |

My mattress is queen size and a good 40 years old. Thing is, I've only slept on half of it in all those years so I bought 2 single size mattress pads for my side. Total cost about $30 rather than spend hundreds of dollars for a new mattress. When I move from here, I'll trash the bed and just buy a smaller one next time. I do have a fairly new and unused double bed in the guest room. Maybe just keep that one for myself. |

LOL....Cindy, I've rotated it and flipped it many times. After 40 years, it's dead. Except for the foam pads I bought last year. Now, it's fine with them. |

Another thing to beware of when buying a new mattress... We found the one we wanted and it came in 2 different coverings. One was plain cloth with stripes and ugly looking. For $100 more, you got the same mattress with a nice blue silky covering. So much nicer looking. Well, we got suckered in to buying the better one. Bad choice. 1) Doesn't matter what the mattress covering looks like. It always gets covered with a sheet anyway. 2) With that silky mattress fabric, your fitted sheets slide right off the corners quickly. It's annoying in that way. |

The small bottle of water treatment is not expensive and needs to be done annually to maintain the integrity of the mattress. He can pick up a bottle at his local dealer, eBay, or Amazon. |

Lean up sideways on an elbow and your elbow > sinks right down to the bottom. That's because you slept on one of the original waterbeds and it sounds like she did not have enough water in it. My waterbed looks exactly like a bed you'd see in anyone's bedroom. It takes regular bed sheets and it is a pillowtop mattress. No sloshing and no sinking to the bottom. > I though waterbeds went out in the 1980's along with > those bread bowls for soup that Jill still likes. Just because you don't have one and don't like them means they have 'gone out.' Mine actually has lumbar support inside the bladder and being that it has a pillowtop and I also use a mattress pad I don't need the heater that normally is used with these. |
