Moar London.

You don't happen to have video of this by chance?

It may be common knowledge, but in case it's not (I didn't know) some chains have their own branded lines, sometimes built to higher specs (more springs, etc.) at certain mid/lower price points. For instance first two chains visited didn't, but Mancini's did and we preferred their Sleepworld Premier Diamond Euro (which we bought yesterday) to equivalent big brands. It may be same or different with memory foam (didn't want to take away daughters jumping possibilities, so we went with traditional mattress this time).

x2 in both counts.

Finding and buying a house was surprisingly easy. Three months of delays getting the sellers out was surprisingly difficult. Today though we moved in.

Strange how you'll spend several times what you ever thought you would for a pets treatment one year, and give up for silly practical reasons the next. Have a drink for Miko tonight. We just put him to sleep after several medical issues worsened, lymphoma most immediately. Thanks buddy for all the years of taking care of Melissa on sick days & helping keep her warm on cold nights and recently being so patient as Esmé slowly learned the meaning of the word 'gentle.' Overall one stand up cat. From his last walk this morning...

Very nice gift and HBD!

Among those who have never been alive in their lifetime are Tupac Shakur, JonBenet Ramsey, Carl Sagan, and Tiny Tim. On Parents’ Weekend, they may want to watch out in case Madonna shows up to see daughter Lourdes Maria Ciccone Leon or Sylvester Stallone comes to see daughter Sophia. For students entering college this fall in the Class of 2018... 1. During their initial weeks of kindergarten, they were upset by endlessly repeated images of planes blasting into the World Trade Center. 2. Since they binge-watch their favorite TV shows, they might like to binge-watch the video portions of their courses too. 3. Meds have always been an option. 4. When they see wire-rimmed glasses, they think Harry Potter, not John Lennon. 5. “Press pound” on the phone is now translated as “hit hashtag.” 6. Celebrity “selfies” are far cooler than autographs. 7. The Daily Show with Jon Stewart has always been the only news program that really “gets it right.” 8. Hard liquor has always been advertised on television. 9. Ralph Nader has always been running for President of the US. 10. They never sat glued to Saturday morning cartoon shows but have been hooked on FOX’s Sunday night “Animation Domination.” 11.

In their lifetime, a dozen different actors have portrayed Nelson Mandela on the big and small screen. 13. Women have always attended the Virginia Military Institute and the Citadel. 14.

Bosnia and Herzegovina have always been one nation. 20. Citizens have always had a constitutional right to a “dignified and humane death.” 21. Nicotine has always been recognized as an addictive drug requiring FDA oversight. 22. Students have always been able to dance at Baylor. 23. Hello Dolly…cloning has always been a fact, not science fiction. 24. Women have always been dribbling, and occasionally dunking, in the WNBA. 25. Ads for prescription drugs, noting their disturbing side effects, have always flooded the airwaves. 26. Hell has always been associated less with torment and more with nothingness. 27. Whether to embrace fat or spurn it has been a front page debate all their lives. 28. Parents have always been able to rely on a ratings system to judge violence on TV. 29. They never tasted the “texturally enhanced alternative beverage” known as Orbitz. 30. There has always been “TV” designed to be watched exclusively on the web. 31. The Unabomber has always been behind bars. 32. Female referees have always officiated NBA games. 33. There has always been a national database of sex offenders. 34. Chicago, a musical about a celebrity getting away with murder, has always been popular on Broadway. 35. Yet another blessing of digital technology: They have never had to hide their dirty magazines under the bed. 36. US major league baseball teams have always played in Mexico. 37. Bill Gates has always been the richest man in the US. 38. Attending schools outside their neighborhoods, they gather with friends on Skype, not in their local park. 39. While the number of Americans living with HIV has always been going up, American deaths from AIDS have always been going down. 40.

One route to pregnancy has always been through frozen eggs. 46. They have probably never used Netscape as their web browser. 47.

^ This. Plus, damn missed another one. Edit (from /.): "Some power lines down in western Contra Costa County, but Bay Area bridges appeared to be fine, according to the California Highway Patrol. There were widespread reports of power outages, gas leaks and flooding in the North Bay, with at least 15,000 Pacific Gas and Electric Co. customers without power in Vallejo, Napa, Rohnert Park, Santa Rosa and Sonoma."
