There was no better table in college than an empty wooden cable spool. The best one I ever enjoyed was was one wheel of a 5’ wooden spool that was hung by chains from the ceiling.
When I got to the point my old mattress was wrecking my back I replaced the entire bed with an inflatable airbed. It has a quiet maintainer pump and if I need it firmer it takes all of 10 seconds to turn a knob.
Best sleep of my life and my back is like new every morning.
I prefer it. I had a mattress for years and thought that backache in the morning was just part of waking up. No more that.
Ya forgot the ‘blinding snowstorms’ and ‘-40° all year ‘round’. 😉
LOL…
We were so poor we had to use recycled bellybutton lint… boy, did that smell…
And…uphill, both ways!!!
Lol!!!
Aye, but you try to tell the young folk today, they just won’t believe you...
How about “we were so poor, I only had a … (gasp) FLIP PHONE…”
They’ll believe that… 😁
If they don’t, I’ll just dig my flip phone out of the drawer and show ‘em. I don’t want a smart phone; it might show me up.
lol… hell, I still have my old NEC car phone … I loved that thing!!! 1995 vintage, clear as a bell… … WITH both short range and long range thread-on antennas!!!
