A Good Nights Sleep, Average People

       Okay, getting personal here. Again why does it cost an arm and a leg to get a good mattress that won't sag after the short warranty is up. BY short I mean three to four months without having to pay for them to pick it and and deliver another one plus some crazy fee for the mattress, Maybe the mattress companies simply enjoy making people miserable.
        Once I state the following I know people will think: that's cheap, she's lucky and what else does she expect. Well I can't put in print what I think of those comments, so stay away, step off, get off my jock! Okay I didn't think that last one up, heard Bethany Frankel say in on NY Housewives. Besides I don't wear a jock .
          The mattress I bought a year ago in Texas was 600. Its the bottom o the line but They only had a twin for me to try and twins feel more firm, so I bought it. It's a Beautyrest, Greenwood. I should have known as soon as it arrived. The only Green wood I knew of was a cemetery in Brooklyn! IT started sagging in the middle two months later. I did nothing because I thought it was good enough for visiting which I was doing.
             Here we are in 2017, and I needed a new bed,( not in Texas) knew I wanted a Beautyrest, but at what price this time? My Spine! I called the company, spoke to a guy who wanted to sell from Long Island, who told me the name of the mattress, so I could avoid it.  Hah! too good to be true. I was on a budget, didn't want to charge and fell into the same trap, or should I say, quicksand! Because that's what its like getting out of this bed.
        I'm now resigned to wait until I can afford a casket to get a good nights sleep!

Now Still...a poem

Now Still

Do you remember, do you?

Now still forever and ever

Chained grief

Tears now still

No longer able to cry

Laying on a hill

But someone else will cry

Someone else will laugh

Someone else will always remember

The smile

Now still

Someone else will dance

Someone else will sing

Yet they too hold in lasting sorrow

As you sleep on the hill

We will dance, and laugh, and cry and sing, and remember

As you sleep on the hill

And we will remember.

Beautyrest, what a Bed! Beautyrest for back and head!

         About a month ago I decided to stop in at a newer type mall and look at beds.
While I knew I need a bed it has to be just right for my aching back which needs a friend, as in a good bed. Have you looked at bedding prices lately? ooow weeee
It was enough to make me spit!
        I had a kid with me who went right to the hospital type beds, lay down and stayed there until I was ready to leave. In the back of the store I sat with a sales lady who introduced me to temperpedic. No thrill for me. I guess it's a matter of personal taste and besides they cost about four thousand dollars. yes, I said dollars, not jelly beans! I also just read for many people ya just get too hot laying on foam. So I looked around and told her how I found a bed I liked, the brand at least. I don't care for  Serta. It gave away to early, less cushion, and the comfortable part left is the ends. I tried sleeping on just the end one night and rolled out into the hall! Now that was a flop!
     So then I lay down on a Beautyrest and I said, ahhh take me away. Well that cost was twelve hundred and they have lay-a-way with some ten percent refund. Oh my heart was sinking fast. I knew I still couldn't take a chance and do that. Still I want to pass on what I said in a previous post, well it doesn't apply here. A bed is like a marriage-I think. You need to feel comfortable. It has to be the place that you just can't wait to get to and know it's going to be with you for  a very long time. Beautyrest is for me-when I can buy one.

Knockin' on Heaven's Door-What Keeps you Awake?

      Okay so I don't really mean to knock on Heaven's door although we don't know the hour or time, not to preach but better safe than sorry. Just watched again, Left behind with a few kids, and questions galore.
       Back on track. I am talking about Doors, songs with the word door it it. To me the best thing about Bob Dylans song is the sound as lyrics are few. Yet as many times as he repeats knockin' on Heavens door, I bet it even gave atheists something to think about. Atheist? How can you deny what you say you don't believe? okay back to the doors, no not the group, the songs. Hey wait, Atheists say God is just some story made to scare people, well if that's true, He's done a good job of it, even Atheists get angry.
        So what's your favorite door song. Many oldsters know Dean Martin's, The Door is still open to my heart, nice but..uh uh, just uh. I love Creedance Clearwater Revival's Lookin' Out my Back Door and best of all Charlie Rich/aka The Silver Fox-Behind Closed Doors. The bottom line with that is, as in life, No one knows what goes on behind closed doors. But that song, that song can make the most haggard, tired and weary person feel ready to wear high heels again, or even, a favorite suit.
         There was another oldie I remember slightly- Green Door, what's that secret your keeping, There's an old piano behind the green door, green Door, one more night without sleeping. What's keeps you awake?
