The return of the Sleep Number

Images
Holy cow! I can't believe the Sleep Number guys actually tracked me down. (see posted comments) These fellas really care about what you're sleeping on. Thanks Jeff, for taking the time to drop me a line. As slightly creepy as it is to have someone prowling the web for comments about their beds, I do have to admit it makes for good business practice. And, in an age when most retailers/manufacturers couldn't give a rats patootie what happens to you after the sale, your tenacity is refreshing. Kudos. Having said that, I can't say I'm a convert. I think perhaps it may boil down to a personality issue. I'm one of those people who don't deal well with choice. And that, after all, is the heart of the Sleep Number program. Choice. Oodles and oodles of choice. Oh you may be a 55 right now Jeff, but who's to say a 56 might not be even nicer? Have you spent a night sleeping at every single one of the digits? You see, that's my problem. If I owned one of these beds...I would.

Well Neil....It sounds like, "He's got your number!" dutudu...I am going through a phase of little to no sleep. The way I see it is that if I don't get enough sleep soon, my number will be up. I am going to Saskatchewan for Thanksgiving and I hope the hotel I stay in has a number bed. Wishing you a great day and sweet dreams.

Personal attacks on individuals, bad language and unsubstantiated rumours have no place here.
