Your gift is deeply appreciated, and any feelings of guilt are silly in the extreme.</p> Mithrandir http://faerye.net/post/let-the-sleeper-beware#comment-1077 2004-03-08T13:40:42+00:00 2004-03-08T13:40:42+00:00 <p>Oh GOOD! I hope it is a good one and that it makes your spines and everything feel tip top. When you said that you had a migraine and moved over to the &#8220;less lumpy&#8221; side of the bed or something after Matt got up, that stuck with me and I&#8217;ve been more or less overwhelmed with guilt for foisting that old mattress and boxspring on you, and contemplating the appropriate non-pushy way to encourage you guys to buy a mattress. Phew.</p> sister sledge http://faerye.net/post/let-the-sleeper-beware#comment-1076 2004-03-08T10:57:15+00:00 2004-03-08T10:57:15+00:00 <p>Too late! Already bought ours. Got it for reasonably little and all.</p> felicity http://faerye.net/post/let-the-sleeper-beware#comment-1075 2004-03-08T08:42:06+00:00 2004-03-08T08:42:06+00:00 <p>Here&#8217;s my advice: DRIVE TO A SMALL TOWN!! The price will be drastically lower. I saved $300 by driving to Port Townsend to buy mine. Goes without saying you might want to commandeer a pickup or SUV, but you could always lash it to the top of your sedan/hatchback.</p> sister sledge http://faerye.net/post/let-the-sleeper-beware#comment-1074 2004-03-05T16:52:28+00:00 2004-03-05T16:52:28+00:00 <p>...and this is why I&#8217;ve never bought a mattress. The only things I hate more than salespeople are carnie folk and Kevin Costner.</p> wonko
