Bed Buddy

Yeah, get your mind out of the gutter. A friend of mine introduced me to this marvel of technology a while back, and I am enjoying the benefits right now. Ever "sleep wrong", have a cramped muscle, just ache, or whatever? Bed Buddy. Get one. Essentially it's rice in a glorified sock. Pop it in the microwave, heat it up, throw it on the bad muscle. Problem solved.

Apparently cold-blooded people use them to pre-heat their beds. I am not cold-blooded, but it does wonders for sore muscles. I'm too tall to fit into bathtubs, you see, so I get my thermal therapy where I can find it, which is at WalGreens. Apparently you can also throw it in the freezer and use it as a cold pack, but I've never tried that...
