We finally purchased the Tempur Pedic mattress for $2,500. I decided to purchase a 2” topper for cin’s room in a different brand name (it’s almost the same material as the Tempur Pedic for $250). We managed to ask the owner to throw in two Tempur Pedic pillows for free. Total came to $3,000. I would never never in my life think there are such price for a mattress. O well, G has already feels the different. His back is not as sore as before. The pillows take a while to get use to (approx. 2 to 3 months). G has to go to physio twice a week and more exercises. Cin got him a ball and Dave (my son) got him a Orbus Foam back rest. My electric massage/heat back rest sits side by side with G’s . The house looks like a gym. You can tell this house is full of OLD people. I plan to put my exercise bike on the deck this summer instead of park it in front of the TV like I did before. Will use it is a different story!!!?

My first experience
My second week as the Director had experience back stabbing. A girl in the kitchen had come to me with a request in confident. She told me “We girls in the kitchen would like to wear baseball caps instead of hairnets. Hairnets are so ugly and out dated, we feel baseball caps just like the other franchises would look must smarter. We don’t feel comfortable to speak to Mary or Eva and would like you to speak for us at the Board Meeting? Could you not mention my name at all?” I agreed that I would bring this to the meeting and keep her name in confidential. As we were degusting this, Eva snuck behind the girl that I was talking to and heard part of the conversation. Innocently, thinking I shouldn’t hide anything between Directors, I told Eva the girl’s request and told Eva that I’ll bring it up at the Board Meeting. During the meeting, Eva brought the issue up by saying, “I don’t like the hairnets the girls are wearing, I think they are ugly and we should replace them with caps.”, Mary right away agreed and asked Eva to look into it. I could tell Eva and Mary had already had their discussion before hand. I right away told the Board that was my issue with the girl in confident and Eva over heard it. I guess Eva and Mary were trying to tell me that was not my business!

Learn by Mistake
I’m so stupid, innocently, thinking if I tell Ferella and Perry about the alcohol abuse that happen when they were sitting with Eva and Louie that Saturday night will help them to realize not to get themselves into this situation again. Well, I was wrong! During the telephone conversation, Perry didn’t agree with me by saying that I shouldn’t get into this because we are FRIENDS and I should turn my cheek and ignore it. I didn’t agree and at the end I told him this conversation is CONFIDENTIAL and he agreed. Stupid me! believed in him. Guess what? Ferella and Perry told Eva and Mary. Now, they are very angry and constantly through cheap shots at me, maybe they think that I should turn my cheek and ignore it?!

Worry!

G's (my husband) health is not doing well for the last year. He has just diagnosed with some kind of disc disease through the entire lumber spine. He's constantly in pain. physio therapy treatment is his regular routine now. I'm recently looking in the Tampur Pedic Foam Bed and hope it will help him sleep better. The trouble is that it takes a month or so to get use to and Canada doesn't have any trial period. It costs over $2,500.00 for a double size mattress. The pillow costs $175.00/ea. I have done some researches on the web and can only go by the testimonies. But, then, all testimonies are positive. What should I do? Who can I ask for advises? We have asked the physio therapist and she is not sure either.

:(

Congratulation!

Congratulate to Cin and Ben of their new jobs. All the best!
