    Any recommendations for plush mattress toppers?

    I'm not a fan of memory foam as I find it too hot, but I can possibly be persuaded to consider it. I've asked Google for the best plush toppers and read Consumer Reports, etc. So I know what the internet recommends. But what about what FSU recommends? I want something cloud soft - I hate firm...

    Stars on Ice Spring 2026 Tour - U.S. and Canada

    I asked SOI on Instagram if Chan and Howe would be doing all the shows and they said yes.

    Prague Worlds - the Aftermath

    I normally like Mark, but he was too talkative this time. Maybe he was just punch drunk from all the hours of commentary. ;)

    Alysa Liu cheer/fan thread

    Loved Alysa's dress! I didn't see the awards show but I saw Alysa on the red carpet on Instagram and thought, "Wow!" :cheer2:

    Looks sold out already in the popular sizes for the women's T-shirt - only XXL left.

    The 2025-26 Awards Season Thread

    I haven't seen any movies in the theater for a very long time and I haven't gotten around to seeing any of the current ones on Peacock or Prime Video yet, but I was rooting for OBAA simply because it was filmed in far northern California, where I live. :p

    She'll probably get that, too! If they can talk her into it. :lol:

    U.S.Women [#9]: Now That's What I'm F*@&%!$ Talking About!

    Hmmm. I was expecting that of course she would go, but with all the whirlwind of events she's been doing since the Olys, I wondered if she was going to get the ice time she would need to be ready. Maybe she's wondering that, too. :lol:

    Stars on Ice Spring 2026 Tour - U.S. and Canada

    For the young-uns, Instagram is an indicator of popularity, whereas for us olds I don't think it pertains. :p But if it counts for ticket sales and bringing in new figure skating fans: Alysa has 7.1. million followers, Ilia is next with 1.6 million, then Amber with 1.4 million, and Chock and...

    Stars on Ice Spring 2026 Tour - U.S. and Canada

    I saw at least ten SOI shows that season. The Florida shows were a fun road trip with Gerry (Milanessa :wuzrobbed ). From looking at my review notes, Sarah skated to Eva Cassidy's "Over The Rainbow" and Tamyra Gray's "Raindrops Will Fall." :p

    Sarah Hughes was definitely on Stars on Ice. I saw many, many shows in that era and she was in them.

    Methinks SOI powers-that-be should be thanking their lucky stars for Alysa Liu. ;)

    U.S.Women [#9]: Now That's What I'm F*@&%!$ Talking About!

    Based on what I've seen so far, I don't think she'd be satisfied with just shows. There is a real difference in intensity when she's competing and when she's just doing a show. I've seen her live under both scenarios and to me the difference is obvious. She's an adrenaline junkie and the shows...

    Fall 2024-Summer 2025 New/Returning/Streaming/TV Shows

    Has anyone else watched Season 2 of "The Night Manager" on Amazon Prime? I didn't pay attention to how many episodes there were and that there would also be a season 3 or I wouldn't have been so shocked they ended on a cliffhanger. :lol: I hope it's not a four year wait for Season 3. :p
