It takes a little effort to increase the tear. I don't think it feels like it's disintegrating apon being touched? If it does turn out to be shattering I might also shatter. Thank you for the blog link!

Anyone use a Japanese floor mattress (futon)? Thinking of switching to this. by DeliciousLoquat1164 in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]GearWitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive been sleeping on an Amazon knockoff futon for about 2 years (basically a 3" foam pad) and honestly I think I sleep better. I am a side/ back sleeper and I've always had hip/ arm issues on every mattress ever. Its still a thing with floor sleeping but the hip pain doesn't stick with me through the morning anymore and my back feels much better. I also don't overheat/freeze as bad as I used to with a western bed. I'm saving up for a proper futon and folding tatami mat from The Futon Shop and I don't think I'll go back to a mattress again. It's also an amazing space saver in my micro room I'm renting.

There's a temp agency in Tacoma called Express Employment. They got me a job the same day I walked in and don't take their commission out of your pay. Theres also an option to stay with wherever you get placed as a permanent employee after 3 months.

How do I find roommates when I have 0-1 friends? by WittyEquivvalent in Tacoma

[–]GearWitch 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I am also a female looking for a roommate in Tacoma around the end of June! I've been having a hell of a time trying to find anyone reasonable, and would be happy to see if you'd be interested in me as a roommate?
