"Adirondack chair" is my brain's default answer to "going to stretch out and read outside not by a pool".
Christ, though, the prices. No wonder Cost Market is sold out (and it was a hideous colour). I'm not paying > $450 for *one* chair that won't be usable every day: [link] . Even BB&B's plastic one is expensive: [link] I have my 20% off coupons like a good girl, but even so...
And then transporting and building. FUCK LIFE. (Though shipping from BB&B is only $32 for $550 worth of chair and stool).
Usability fail--I can't add *some* BB&B items to my cart without using the keyboard (form defaults quantity to zero). Why should this [link] and [link] be different?
And, man, my brain is buzzing with half-baked usability critiques. I need to study up on that properly now that my department has changed.
Fruit salad for lunch again today. I can't believe this is both appealling and satisfying. Clearest benefit to the new "diet"? Reduced edema. I will never have slender ankles, but their swelling is markedly reduced since I've started the "anti-inflammation" diet. So that's good to know, since doctors haven't done anything other than "salt pills" in that regard. And nod. Diuretics and nodding.

One of the really nice additions to my college since I graduated is that the grounds are just littered with Adirondack chairs now. It's so great - you can just plop down on a sunny day and do your reading outside in comfort.

It's supposed to last forever though, no?

I don't need it for forever. Do normal chairs for $80 fall apart in less than five years, especially ones not moved around a lot or exposed to harsh extremes? The one at Cost Market was going to cost $50. One a year for nine years, and I get to vary colours.
There's just nothing I'm going to do to

outdoor chair that needs that much money in it, even if every cent is spent on something traceable. It's like buying a bag worth $750 because "it's worth it!" Only if you want/need that much bag.
Hey, Jesse--I find I either submit something to Good Stuff *or* I reblog it (and then I forget to reblog it when you post it, because it's now familiar and I think I already have). Would it be annoying/useless/dumb work for you if I tagged stuff #goodstuffhappened sometimes? There's nothing else on tumblr under that tag now: [link]
Don't your have any friends with pickup trucks, ita? That's what those friends are for!
I was wishing I was there with my pickup and my cordless screwdriver.
Hmm, what is the anti-inflammation diet, ita? I'm guessing I'd need to cut out too many foods, but I am curious. The candida diet (er, anti-candida that is) has had both short and long term benefits.
I am sitting here feeling all accomplished because I: 1) enrolled the kids in camp for next week, 2) switched my Rx, 3) dealt with AT&T twice (hate them) to set up a repair visit to fix the land line, 4) took care of the mortgage payment, and 5) snuck in some writing. And okay, lots of little tasks done, but honestly I think I'm setting a fairly low bar for adult-like behavior.
Oh and also? Because wine.

That works -- I will track the tag and hope for the best.
ION, fuck. I clogged up my kitchen sink and forgot about it, because it drained down eventually. So now I'm running the dishwasher and the sink fills up and starts overflowing. I imagine the clog is down in the pipe, since I can't feel anything wrong in the disposal, and it's running fine, just not draining. Yet another downside to the CSA! So I've emptied a bunch of water out of the sink, and then what? Actually try to take apart the pipes? That freaks me out. Would baking soda and vinegar even help?
