Not the same guy but I got this one for something like $130 + 25 shipping back in 2015 and I still talk about it as one of the best (and luckiest) purchases I've ever made. I put it on one of those $60 Zinus frames and slept amazingly on it for 18 months. I moved away and in with my partner who has a bigger and better bed, but that thing lives on in my parents' house as a guest bed and sometimes I go and sleep on it just because I miss it so much.

Damn, after writing all of that it seems like it's been OOS for a while now. Great bed though.

Sorry if I'm way behind on this story, but this is the first I've heard about it. Do you have any published pieces about your story that I can read? If not, please consider writing about this, it sounds like an incredible story!

I got into teaching by accident because I wanted to do some meaningful volunteer work before starting my 'real' career. Six years later I'm still working as a teacher and can honestly say I love my job.

I don't mean to pick apart what you said just for the hell of it, but just because somebody didn't decide to be a teacher years and years ago or specifically study teaching in college doesn't mean they're automatically less passionate about the work.

I feel for you. I recognize this isn't the exact same situation, but my partner is HIV+ and even though we are always safe and I rationally know that I haven't put myself at risk, that routine blood test is still a little nerve wracking each time. I can imagine it's stressful having to wait to "know your fate," so to speak, especially with so much conflicting information out there.

Anyway, just my $.02 for whatever it's worth. Here's hoping you'll be okay.

And so Question Bot doesn't get mad at me...what was the best game you ever bowled?

Hi Ali! I have to say that in all the seasons I've watched, you were by far my favorite winner -- I know it's TV, but your kindness and positive attitude just felt so genuine!

My question: I recently lost over 50 lbs. using a fitness app to count my calories and walking a ton. Now that I'm working again, I want to keep the calories off, but I just don't have the time to walk literally miles a day. Given your busy schedule, what do you do to motivate yourself to keep exercising and eating well even when you don't have the time? Do you have one 'go to' exercise that you do in between scheduled activities? Thanks!
