Hi UV Birders!

I live on the border of VT/NH and I usually lurk on this listserv and take your great advice on where to spot, but I thought I would break out of my shell and share a story.

A year ago, I was birdwatching in VT with my significant other. We were having the best time trying to get a glimpse of a purple finch in Vermont. I decided to climb up a tree to see if I could get a better look, but right when it flew to a branch on the other side of me, I cricked my neck.

A bunch of my friends gave me advice on what to do, but for the last 9 months my neck never felt right and the pain was worst right when I awoke. Finally, I decided that enough was enough and maybe I needed a new bed.

For all those in the same position, it is so overwhelming to find a new mattress these days. I searched high and low, not knowing if what I was going to get was going to be good. Luckily, I finally found a site called http://www.slumbersearch.com that has a whole bunch of reviews and mattress rankings. I just got a new mattress last month and I can't believe it, but my neck pain is almost all gone. If you also have cricked your neck from too much birding, I highly advise you to take care and get a new bed if now is the time.

Stay safe and best of luck!
Birdwatcher Tobin
