We didnt have a place to try the purple. It was an option but also the mattress firm has a 60 day money back deal. I liked the idea of that. Takes a week or 2 into getting used to a mattress.

We both had king beds when we combined households, one with a Casper and one with a Purple. Both did okay through Texas summer. We decided to keep the Casper and are selling the Purple since we're turning our guestroom into an office/gaming room. Minor comfort differences in the decision, nothing yuge.

I will say this from the moving experience; both are equally terrible to get in and out of a truck.

Okay, less :wtf: at $4k. Do you. Prob. doesn't hurt the credit score either. Both of our mattresses were < $2k so swiped the CCs, took the travel miles, and paid them off before interest was charged.

Nice. We cashed out a bunch of Chase Sapphire points for first class flights and accomodations for a long weekend in Park City in a few weeks (shit it is March already). Snowboarding, dog sled adventure, snowmobiling, spa day.

Such waste. Purchase so useless. Can't wait.

More “rare” records possibly being purchased. Dude is selling the first two EPs from this band The Starting Line that we’re each pressed on 10” vinyl and sold together by this small label back in the day. Each of them is numbered 7/100 pressed, and he’s asking $200 for them together. Offered him $150. Hoping he accepts it or counters at like $175.

That’s awesome. My best friend ran the Rutgers college radio station in that era, and in their frat house basement put on a whole bunch of shows, including them and My Chemical Romance on several occasions. I need to dig out some pictures.

:ohdang: that’d be awesome. During that time frame I always wished I lived on the east coast since that’s where all the music I was consuming came out of.
