Pasta sauce + sliced sausage or chopped chicken or turkey mixed and then poured over spegetti squash & a nice dusting of cheese??? What's not to like about that?

I like it with a little butter, salt and pepper.

I'm thinking hacky sack.

That is so much different. Jacky sack is such a agility game that can be single or multiplayer..... And they/we use a small, nearly golf ball sized mini beanbag for .... Compared with the sandwich sized bag for toss across.....

Forgot to add, "ummmm wrong. My Better-half has educated me in the joy of having the weight of multiple blankets on the bed.....

yeah i was looking at weighted blankets and wondering if they really work or just another overpriced gimmick

Wife made a denim quilt for our bed fifteen years ago. It’s denim on both sides, moving blanket in the middle.
I had back surgery in August and couldn’t manage the weight while recovering. I slept like crap for 6 weeks recovering. After we finally put it back on, I’ve slept like a rock every night.
I’m not sure what ‘weighted blankets’ actually weigh, but my quilt is 30 pounds. It’s my favorite.

Gimmick. Get a high quality thick "real" blanket. The sandbag designs are great for sensory necessary folks (i.e. autism spectrum) no doubt about it.
I did not enjoy the first generation of that blanket design. And was it ever difficult to disassemble & reassemble after washing.

The 2nd gen are better designed but, we no longer have a need for it.

i think the recommendation is to start with 15#

I use a weighted blanket, they are super.

Not a gimmick, mine is #20.

I like heavy blankets.
We have our bamboo sheets and denim quilt. If it gets cold, another lightweight flannel quilt on top for kinda chilly... between sheet and denim quilt for ‘glass of water will freeze on nightstand’ temps.

yeah that’s kinda what i was thinking! i had this amazing homemade blanket that my grandmother made for us to sleep upstairs in the old farmhouse when i was little. I took it when they sold the farm and used it until it finally could not be used anymore. I still have handmade quilts but have left them as keepsakes vs risking their loss

Yours must be 2nd or 3rd gen.....
How large are the "sandbag" areas as you measure the criss-crossing seams?
The gen 1 we have are like 7-8" on a side or maybe a bit larger.
