    I like having a couple of queen air mattress beds stashed away in my storage closet.  I use them when I have an unexpected surge of overnight guests (which happens more often that you can imagine!)  Sometimes we’ll have company over for dinner and for one reason or another the guests end up sleeping over.  When that happens, I am really glad to have some air mattress beds on hand for them to sleep on.

    There is a website that has been created called airmattressinfo.com to review different air mattress brands, with price comparisons included, and tips on choosing the right mattress for your needs.  It also reviews pumps, travel pillows, and sheets.  If you are thinking about buying an air mattress, you should consider checking out this website.

    I was reading an article on the NYTimes website about how Google does not provide telephone support for their basic free gmail account customers.  The article detailed the aggravation involved when a customer finds him (or her) self locked out of their email account.  Apparently the process is long, involved, and complicated.  On Google’s behalf, however, the article DOES explain that when people create a gmail account they are advised to create a back-up email account (just in case.)

    I do have more than one email account, I think that is a wise thing to do, just as insurance against situations like that.  But the point of my post here is that I think that Google would be well advised to provide live telephone support for their millions of customers.  That’s just plain good customer service practice!  So I have nothing bad to say about Google, however I would encourage them to create live customer service for their customers!  That would make a good company even better!

    I had the chance to see a CNC Machine in action yesterday when I visited my friend Tim at his woodworking shop.  I was completely amazed how he created a design on his computer and then had his machine cut the design out of a piece of MDF plywood in only a few minutes!  I had never seen anything so exciting before in my life!  I can remember taking woodworking in “shop” in high school, but the routers in “shop” were nothing like this!

    The ez-router.com website sells a wide variety of routers, supplies, and parts (including software.)  I just spent about twenty minutes on their website, just looking at all of the cool demo videos of what their machines can do!  I found it absolutely fascinating!
