Tent and Air mattress
Comments (9)Friends don't let friends buy air mattresses (or cots). Unless you plan on doing all you camping only during summer, think again. There's a good reason both the US military and the Boy Scouts only use sleeping pads, rather than cots or air mattresses. Those two are only for use inside heated enclosures. Besides losing good sleep because your body is giving up calories to the heat-sink effects of the air mattress or cot, you risk catching hypothermia (most cases of hypothermia occur at between 30 and 50-degrees F). The hollow tubes of an air mattress and the empty space underneath cots work constantly to achieve equilibrium with the colder air around them, meaning you are constantly having your warmth drained away. Buy a ThermaRest self-inflating sleeping pad or one of the knockoffs made by REI or Slumberjack or one of the others. They are sold in many designs, widths, lengths and thicknesses and the ThermaRest brand carries a lifetime guarantee....See MoreJennAir oven. Good price, but is it a good choice?
Comments (11)I just sold my home 2 months ago so do not know the model number but I had the 30" Jenn air double oven. Purchased 2004. I did call them out the first month because the baking element in the top oven did not work. They came out in a few days and fixed it. It was still under warranty. Baked fine no problems until the control board went out in 2006. Expensive to fix. The repair guy told me those go out all the time in all the models like Maytag, GE, Whirlpool, KA so I bought the warranty. Worked fine after that. I moved 2 months ago so asume it still works fine. Never used the warranty but if I didn't have it would probably have gone out. I would purchase for $2100. but would buy an extended warranty for when the control board goes out....See Morehas anyone found a really good double sided mattress?

Comments (14)bleusblue, your question reminds me of a something that happened when I was an elementary school secretary. Our 4th graders had pen pals at another school about 100 miles away. About a month before school ended for the year, a field trip to visit their pen pals was planned. It was an overnight trip and our students, their teachers and the chaperones were to sleep in the gym at the other school. The day of the trip arrived and our group made it to the other school, participated in the planned activities and had a great time. When it came time to bed down, all of the students and adults rolled out their sleeping bags on the gym floor and settled down for the night. Except for one teacher, who set up her queen sized air mattress and made her bed with mattress pad, sheets, blanket and down pillow. Sleeping on the gym floor didn't bother the kids one bit; they woke up the next morning full of energy and ready to go. The adults, however, were stiff and sore from their restless night on the hard floor. Except for one teacher who bounded out of bed ready to take on the day along with the kids. The story became the stuff of legend and the teacher who brought her bed on a field trip will be forever remembered as brilliant. ;-)...See More- last year
