My Comfort Intelli-Gel Seat Cushion




As soon as I recieved my coupon I was looking for opportunities to got claim my Inteli-Gel seat cushion at the My Comfort store in the University Mall. At first I thought it would be a good idea to go mattress shopping for a date. We could go to the mall and go ring shopping first. Walk out with an $8 cubic zirconia and pretend to be in the market for a mattress together. Then I thought, the only person willing to spend time doing that with me would be my real fiancé/wife. So I braved it alone.

It was a beast trying to find it. Even the info lady sent me on a goose chase. I walked all through the Mall trying to find the entrance. It wasn't until I asked a REALLY OLD concierge-looking info desk lady that I discovered that store could only be accessed from the outside.

20 minutes from the time I began my search, I walked through the doors to catch my would-be salesman telling his co-worker some kind of lude story involving hip-thrusts. I walked right up to him and told him my situation; that I was single, pillow-top owning, coupon-scrounging student here for the shortened version of his sales pitch so that I could redeem my free seat cushion. He nodded understandingly, like any sales person would, and said he would try to shorted the 40 minute presentation to 20 minutes for me.

We walked over to the first bed and he dished me this classic, "Now before we begin, I have to tell you that most people who come in here just looking at beds end up buying one. [Smile and sweat.]"

"I'm sure they do." I replied recalling that same line in my script when I sold Cutco knives.

Intelligel provides:

  • Pressure release
  • Hip and Spine alignment
  • Back support




The thing this gel boasts that the Memory Foam lacks is that it doesn't continue to settle for 15 minutes as you lay in bed and it provides better "alignment for your hips and spine," (which is different that back "support"), (which it also offers).

F.Y.I. I enjoyed the least expensive bed the most. It had a single layer of gel over regular foam. And I really did like their pillows. I may go back sooner that I would have had I not received the spiel.

We ended just in time for me to race out the door and pick Stef up for My Fair Lady in SLC. Since then, I haven't let my bottom touch anything but the cushion. I can already feel my back feeling stronger and trained to not slouch.

Rummi-"CUB" vs. Rummi-"CUBE"

The "Rummikub" Pronunciation Debate Affirmative Constructive: "Cub" For years, I have been a firm advocate and defender of the pronunciation, Rummi-"CUB".  The game box I grew up with spelled it, Rummicub  on the box. However, other productions of the game have variant spellings: Rummykub , Rummy Kube , Rummy Tiles , etc.  Based solely on box spelling, the game's true pronunciation is open to interpretation. Therefore, Rummi"cub" is equally acceptable to any other given pronunciation. Negative  Constructive : "Cube" My opponents argue that since the game originated over seas, we ought to respect and maintain its original pronunciation. Affirmative Rebuttal: Americanization of the Term When the game was brought to America and given Americanized rules, its name was also Americanized. Pronunciation loyalists then counter my rebuttal with, "there are lots of adopted foreign words that have retained their original pron...

The Secret Reason Why "Good Witch" Feels Emotionally Off

TL;DR It's the Botox. For the past 3 months, my wife, Stacia, and I have been watching  Good Witch  (via Netflix and Amazon Prime). Stacia adores winding down to "Hallmark-y shows." We can rely on Good Witch episodes to always resolve happily. The episodes are never too intense. The height of conflict revolves around things like someone's inability to locate the perfect spot to snap a romantic photo for a new tourism brochure. I consider my time watching these shows spouse bonding time , and emotional training. My favorite thing about watching feel-good shows with Stacia is getting to observe her facial reactions to the on-screen drama. When two people lean in for a long-anticipated kiss, Stacia tucks her knees into her chest and frowns with her forehead while lifting her chin and bottom lip. While I'm typically unable to suspend my disbelief, Stacia seems completely entranced by the various characters' emotions. Wishing I could join her in being swept aw...

Who's Got The Funk?

I am an amateur guitarist, and I've got no funk. My musical skills seem to lacking that special something . Great musicians have it . Those fortunate enough to have gotten hold of  it , create timeless hits. While musicians without it  fade into oblivion. After spending hours searching through Blues history websites and 1970's band documentaries online, I discovered what that special something  is thank to a (70% Man, 30% fish) character from the BBC show "The Mighty Boosh" named Old Gregg. He identified that  thing  as  The Funk ! But what exactly is The Funk ? Here is some dialogue from the show to help explain its origin and purpose: Old Gregg: You're a musician, yeah? Howard: Yes I am. Old Gregg: Butchya ain't very good, are ya? Howard: I'm one of the best in town. Old Gregg: Come on, I read your reviews. Hmm? You know what your problem is? Howard: What? Old Gregg: Ya ain't got the funk. You're all rigid. Hmm? You're l...
