Learn to Line Dance! – “Tuesdays with Tony”


The Dance I’ll teach this week is…

Dance: Dancing on the Ceiling

Choreographer: Debbie Hogg

Info: 32 count /2 wall / Beginner  — Note: the choreographer calls this an “absolute beginner” dance…but there is a single easy to hear, four count tag in the dance which in my book makes it Beginner, not “absolute” beginner.

Good Customer Service is a rare thing and should be applauded…


…so I want to brag on a local company who did more than the right thing!

I just had the most awesome experience and I want to share it with you because service like this is so rare and when it happens the story should be shouted from the rooftops.

The bottom line:

I highly recommend City Mattress Factory (http://www.citymattressfactory.com/)  They are located at 900 Haltom Road, Fort Worth, TX 76117

So…buying furniture is not something that is normally in the budget.  However, two weeks ago, when I sold a PA sound system, I decided to use the windfall and replace my queen sized mattress and box springs with a Loveseat sized futon with ottoman.

Having a futon makes a lot more sense for me than a regular bed because, due to my sleep apnea, I sleep sitting up and have to use a bunch of pillows to keep me upright.  A futon with an ottoman fixes that problem. Also because I rent a room from my best friend.  Most of the time I’m in my bedroom, which fuctions as my “home office” and my “living room” as well.

The futon will serve as both sitting and sleeping where a bed is just for sleeping.  A bed takes up so much space and is only used 8 hours out of every 24.  A futon will take up much less space during the day, is more useful more of the time both during the day and during the night.
