Lack of sleep never gives me headaches. Too much sleep does though, as rare as I get to sleep in. But that's probably due to dehydration. But you should get a bottle of Excedrine Migraine. Works quick to matter the cause of headache.

Why does McDonalds have "Breakfast Only" at 1am? Found 2 McDs open last night after my 9pm movie/and 3rd Walmart visit and they were "Breakfast Only".

As someone who doesn't care for breakfast foods, yuck.

Who the hell wants a Sausage McMuffin and hash browns at 1am??!

Breakfast is for all hours of the day. I wouldn't want sausage or hash browns at that time, but I'll definitely take some pancakes or French toast and eggs

I was out yesterday to pick up a plush blanket and some things for my mom. As I was driving to get some Chick-fil-A there were some guys, looked to be mid-20's or so, coming out of the Sporting Goods store...vaping. Just because it isn't cigarettes doesn't mean you should be vaping on that lame shit in stores.

i'm thinking we're going to start seeing more and more signs telling people that vaping isn't allowed. several states have already passed laws stating that vaping isn't allowed where smoking isn't allowed.

That's what I was ranting about. I don't care if people are using them to quit smoking, but these obnoxious ass kids using them for whatever reason is annoying. If smoking is banned, these things should be too. It leaves a glittery smoke and it's just gross.

one of the things i don't like is when people go outside to smoke, as they're required to do by law or company rules, they don't walk away from the door. they do it right in front of or right beside the door. therefore, all that nasty-ass smoke just hangs around the door for everyone else to breathe in.

cigarette smoke gives my instant headaches and makes me nauseous; so i definitely don't wanna smell that shit when i'm either entering or exiting somewhere. that's why i wish it was a law that they have to move at least 100 feet away from any entrance/exit to smoke.

raining? bitterly cold? snowing? stifling heat? too bad. maybe stop smoking so you and others don't have to deal with it.

If I were a cop, that's the kind of thing I'd be very anal about and slap people with citations all the time.

At our local Walmart the employee's will smoke right in front of the entrance.
I've walked in and said something to the Manger more than once about this but it still happens

Every time I'm out and about with someone ( mostly my wife ) and we come close to a smoker it fills me with regret at how
I must've smelled to everyone before I gave up smoking 10 yrs ago.

Even though I did all I could to reduce the smell: I never smoked in MY house, I hardly smoked in MY Cherokee, and when I did I rolled the windows
down and turned on the fan and set it to bring in fresh air, I always washed my hands and face after smoking ( when I was able to )...

But my wife said that I still smelled like any other smoker ....
And it wasn't till after I had stopped that the people normally around me started to tell me just how bad I smelled

And in the end, for me, stopping smoking was as simple as not lighting up another cigarette, go figure
No one complained to me, or brow beat me into it, one day I just didn't buy a new pack when I had smoked the last one in the pack.

And I haven't smoked since....

Today I receive an email from Hulu with a special offer to get their limited commercials plan for only $5.99 per month for a year. Not interested, but... why are they sending me that offer when for Black Friday weekend they're selling the exact same plan for 99 cents per month for a year?

Finally got my new iPad Pro order today. I went with the 11inch model, and it's a significant upgrade from my previous model with the 12.9" screen. It's smaller and more comfortable to hold, now.

I was initially baffled by the new shutdown procedure, but eventually figured it out. An article I read online described the new procedure as an incredibly complicated method, but the iPad's manual debunked it. Still, it's now a two-button process: instead of holding the Sleep/Wake button until the Power Off slider appears, you now have to hold down the Sleep/Wake button and one of the Volume buttons in order to bring up the slider. Weird, but still quick. Not sure why Apple changed this.

At any rate, the unit itself is gorgeous. The keys on the Apple Keyboard Folio feel comfortable and soft, and the case protects the front and back of the iPad. The magnetized case holds the iPad securely, and when you fold the keyboard behind the iPad, it locks in magnetically so it's not flapping around while you're trying to stream or draw. The Apple Pencil is comfortable to use, and I look forward to testing it some more.

So far, I'm diggin' the new iPad Pro.

I've never purchased a bed for myself before and will have to pretty soon. I've been doing some research on mattresses (basically walking around places like Sleepy's, er, I mean Mattress Firm looking at price tags) and have a bit of sticker shock. Should I really expect to spend hundreds of dollars on a decent mattress? Holy moley. And the frames aren't even included I REALLY don't want to blow my Christmas bonus on a bed. My niece told me she spent $2,200 on a King-sized mattress This is like buying a used car lol

Mattress Firm filed for bankruptcy last month.

QVC - buy and pay over time
Macy's
Big Lots
JCP
Ashley Furniture
etc.

You shouldn't need an additional frame with your mattress if you're buying an actual bed set. If you're wanting a standard frame bed and decent Serta mattress without killing your budget - check out Big Lots. They have basically become a furniture buyout store in most locations and you can even get solid wood beds there now. I was surprised at the quality when I went to check out their Christmas decor.

I guess they're not going anywhere just yet. My store just installed Amazon Lockers.

I paid about $1500 for my queen size mattress two years ago. Sad part is I sleep in my Lazyboy recliner more than I've slept in the bed, my Girl gives me a lot of slack for that.
