Royal Caribbean Cruisers -- How Are Things Where You Are? (was "Routine" ​ 😁 ​day in lockdown... how was yours?)

[Ozark_Kid]

Not sure of the proper name, does anyone have a bed that you can raise the head on one side of a king size bed?  I am thinking raising the bed might be more comfortable than using 2 or 3 pillows to raise my head.

We had a bed like that, but it was 2 separate mattreses. I like to read with the head raised, while DH has his beauty sleep 😉

So now that we canceled our Beyond sailing we are thinking of taking that money and putting it into some permanent outdoor house lighting not only for Christmas but all year round. It’s from a company called Jellyfish Lighting. It’s all LED programmable and just about every color imaginable. Hers a video. What do you think? It’s not cheap around $3800 but it’s cheaper than what we would spend on our cruise. Either do something like this or just save the money for another cruise. Thoughts?

 

 

I say go for the lights, you will get a much longer enjoyment out of those for years and years then a 1 week cruise.

 

Looks really neat!

I am guessing they are all 2 mattresses set next to each other.  Do you remember the brand?  I need my head raised to breathe well at night.

Take the cash and hire a caregiver for after Linda’s surgery.  You probably already have someone coming in to clean your beautiful home . .

You will most likely end up doing both. 😊

Latoflex.

 

I've found the site only in Italian. Basically, as you said, you absolutely need 2, otherwise it will raise also Sharon's part too...

After all that's happening in our lives lately (Covid, and in mine also war), I say: "live for today".

 

I'm seeing the lights as a long term investment.

Posturepedic and a few other companies make adjustable bed frames.

Poor Sherlock.  I am finally going to meet him next Sunday.

 I have a King bed that one can raise the head and legs/feet. We got it from Mattress Firm. It is actually the mattress not the bed fame that raises up and down and goes zero gravity as well. It is available in Split King as well, where each side has its own control, which may be better so you could adjust to your own comfort level. It is a Serta i Series Hybrid mattress, on a frame. The frame has adjustable legs and you can have them adjusted when they deliver.

Such thing also comes in  Tempurpedic but that one is very expensive. Worth checking it out though.

The Split King mattress is about $1000 more than the Serta King, but it is great for two people who want the same bed but different levels of inclines. etc

He looks adorable!

My daughter makes her dog wear a raincoat....and the poor thing just looks at me with puppy eyes. She says she is too old to play with dolls so she dresses her dog some times.

Greg, you probably don't have to worry about it, but our subdivision has restrictions on "downlighting" in the soffits so there is no way we could do that!  Therefore, I say cruise!

Im going to ask our HOA about it. My neighbor across the street just put this system in. I don’t know if we even got permission. When I asked about it with the company spokesperson they said most people can get around it by saying it is accent and security lighting.

A cruise might be only one week but the memories last long after the cruise is over.  Then again, you'll have lovely lights that will bring you pleasure for many years.  Greg, choose whatever you feel would make you and Linda the happiest.  

 

@h20skibum @Lionesss Mark, happy birthday to your son and Sue, happy birthday!

Agree about the security lighting aspect. Robbers tend to rob an unlit house before messing with a house lit up properly.

 

Non Holidays, you could just use the white lights to brighten things up for security.

 

See what I mean, would you rob this house?
