Hey Head-Case, what's your bandwidth like?
^ This is what I have, yo. Best 70$ (no taxes, no fees, it's just 69.99$ monthly) I spend. **BRENT** Heh, also saw they have something from our mayor. His daughter and my daughter were in the same classroom last year. Good guy.

Mattresses
This is the one I got, FWIW. It's the same company, just a lower model, from what Colin got. http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Bodipedic-Essentials-8-inch-Queen-size-Memory-Foam-Mattress/6153386/product.html?searchidx=0 I had 15% off, and it was a bit less than that too. I think that company also does one that has a cooling gel layer on top. If you'd be interested, we can track down some decent overstock coupons, or let you know when the 12/15/20% ones come around. **BRENT**

Hey Shelly, I meant to post when I saw this last week on phone but didn't get a chance, then forgot. I bought a mattress from overstock.com earlier this year. Looked for specs over name brand and wound up with an 8" mattress with a 3.25lb density top layer. It was definitely comfortable, and once I got to sleep the first night (30-45 minutes) I slept HARD. Fast forward a few months, and I start to notice my typical static back pain has lessened quite a bit. I rarely notice it, and have gone from taking something for back pain from once weekly to maybe once monthly. It was gradual, but I have felt better all around... And this was just a 250$ (after discount codes) mattress. I'm a fan. **BRENT**

And now what did you do TODAY?
All I could muster was a 3.6 day weekend. Already had lunch with a friend and don't have to go back to work til Tuesday. W00t, as the kids used to say. **BRENT**

Thursdays are bad for me, but can do it after 9:30 eastern. I could possible do it via phone during the 7-9:30 block, but it'd suck. I think Nate said Thursday was bad for him too, no? **BRENT**

I was actually a couple hours from breaking in my new running shoes. **BRENT**

And now what did you do TODAY?
For Dusty: heart attack, arm amputated, give me twelve hours to live. Thanks for looking out! (Seriously. I thought about a heart attack/stroke when the hand tingling came into play, but nothing else presented. It was a push to take the day and go to doctor though.) Everyone else: pinched nerve. Going with some icing and antiinflammatories and some range of motion exercises and a limited work release... And a follow up in a week. Thanks for the concern. It still sucks, and not sure what caused it, but we'll see if it gets better. Can do PT if it continues past next week. **BRENT**

FWIW, my kids are finishing up their second week (first full week.) How fun is that? **BRENT**

And now what did you do TODAY?
Doctor made me choose worker's comp or insurance. Wouldn't let me go insurance then WC later. Had to make 7 phone calls, multiple faxes, found out they won't let me go to my doctor so I had to drive across town to go to their crappier service. But hey, it's free. Probably. Maybe. I don't know. I don't know what's wrong yet, so I don't know if it's carpel tunnel, or something random, or what. Bah. **BRENT**
-
And now what did you do TODAY?
If I thought it was a heart attack at all, I would have been at a doctor already. As it stands, waiting for kids to go to school then figuring out which doctor to go to. My PCP started an urgent care clinic. Not sure about going there or finding a new a PCP or what. **BRENT**
-
And now what did you do TODAY?
Today I was sitting at my desk working. At some point, my shoulder started with the intense pain, and I couldn't lift my arm, and my hand was tingling. I think I'm probably dying. It feels better, but not good at all. May wind up hitting a doctor in the morning (already took tomorrow off just in case.) I don't like being old. **BRENT**

Some of you may know I used to be a decent yoyoer, and I kinda got back into it last year when I had multiple people show me the 2013 world championship winner's video. I could do part of what that guy did, then he just blew me away. I got to watch the live stream, and it had multiple angles and the quality was better than these vids, but those aren't posted yet. Til then... This guy got 4th. If he hadn't messed up so many times, he would have been second, easy, and it would've been hard for me not to pick him as the winner. 4th place in 2014 Worlds: Paul Kerbel Now, the US champion Gentry Stein went to take on the world, at 18 years old, and took them all down with one of the most well choreographed routines I've ever seen. While most of these guys are on throws costing 85-150$, Gentry Stein's signature throw, the Shutter, is only 45$, and on sale now for 36$. That's just insane. **BRENT**
