The padded part of my armrest is on my coffee table. Damn, I hate this flimsy fucking chair. I never even knew those could come off!(30+ years and it never happened) You'd think it was like a floor model they sold us as is, but of course everyone pays full price for it because it's adaptive.(it's kind of hype that everyone gets personally fitted too...there's a range of sizes, but you better hope you fit.) so of course, I'm thinking of The Breakfast Club and "the World is an imperfect place/who wants to steal a screw?"(the screw is in my doorway)

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I made it to Cincinnati. That was a long drive -- got stuck in rush hour traffic around Columbus. I'm thinking that, on the way back, I'll split it into two days. I can see a couple of decent places to stop overnight, but I'm thinking maybe Wheeling, West Virginia, on the logic that it's on the interstate but the route there won't hit any cities, and I've never been to West Virginia. Plus, it makes a good midway point so that, on the second day of driving, I can stop at Fallingwater, which I want to see.

OMG, I have no idea what to get for my dad for Father's Day. This is ridiculous

yes, but he can't drink it since he's in pre-cirrosis with his liver. If I could get him beer, this would be a very simple thing! He doesn't do much besides sit in front of the TV and watch NCIS. I've gotten him books in the past, which he says he likes and wants, but never actually reads.
I'm waiting to see if I can pitch in on an iPad replacement. Other things I'm thinking: Harry and David box or flowers.

I couldn't resist asking.
Harry and David is good. I've gotten Hickory Farms boxes that were pretty good. Meat and cheese. They're manly.

Punishingly Intricate
We did a Harry & David monthly fruit delivery thing for my in-laws this Xmas (shared with Bob's sisters because I think the year-long thing is spendy) and they love it! So, that's what I'd vote for. Now...what do I get my dad?

...I got my dad a card. But then, we haven't done more than that or dinner for Father's or Mother's day or their birthdays in forever. He's the WORST to buy presents for.

No, different chairs--thirty-plus years of wheelerness. However, I do always get the weird ones, like the one in high school where the screws on the brakes came loose constantly--this current one takes the prize however...I had to have a handyman clamp the frame together, too. When I get a new one, I bet I can fit it a large freezer bag and take it to my health plan all " I believe this is yours!"(well, almost)
