Replacing common household items.
My better 3/4, Rudy (6’4”) compared to me 5′ nothing, was
complaining about a sore neck and then he asked me how long ago, I
bought his pillow. I remembered, it was five years ago. Mine was not
in the best of shape either. Their shelf life was way passed their
deadline. The next morning we went shopping for new pillows, what a
difference. Problem solved!
As a result, it gave me to idea to have the
