He was miserable, so it's good that he's not miserable any more, but I'm afraid to even look at what things are going to cost us now. There are many things wrong with me!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Arg our system is so stupid! IO hope the not being miserable lasts a long time, for sure
Oh, Dana. That is sucky.
I just got word that my family didn't get any damage from the tornado and all are safe.
Okay, COBRA can last up to 18 months. That's longer than I thought.
Good news, aurelia.
Glad to hear that, aurelia
Jesus, in-laws just floated the idea of him looking for a job somewhere else that is not here. I DON'T WANT TO MOVE AGAIN.
Is he that powerless over what his parents want him to do?
No, no, that was just my knee-jerk reaction to anyone proposing that we move again.
Timelies all!
I'm sorry, Dana.
We're heading to Balticon tomorrow. Mr. S decided he needed to pack his suitcase himself. Are there any clothes in there? I doubt it...
Oh Dana, that's...not optimal. I'm sorry.
I need hivemind advice. We bought furniture today--sale prices, yadda. It's not blue, it's shady tweedish grey with a soft hand, sturdy construction, high and firm enough to be comfy (I hate sinking butt-first into downy cushions and having to fight my way to my feet). All the good plusses, stain-resist, delivery, plus pickup and donation of our futon and loveseat, both of which have served valiantly, but well, it's time to part ways.
My question: I have my dad's club chair, built like a fricken tank, hard-rock maple frame, joined, no screws or bolts, hand-tied springs, weighs a ton and is indestructible. Somewhere in the 70s Dad decided grey-and-red awning stripe silk damask wasn't his thing (green moss fringe around the seams, green bullion fringe at the bottom, woo!) and had it recovered in cream faux-Naugahyde. Guys, I can't even make the "Do you know how many naugas had to die for that chair?" joke because--*faux*-Naugahyde. The chair will go on forever unless somebody hacks it apart with a battleaxe and lights it on fire. It's a great chair, straight lines, deep seat, perfect angle on the back. I've sat in it, and would still, but I need an ottoman and unless it's the perfect height it wrecks my knees. H hates the chair, the angle of the back's all wrong for him. However, even with the new stuff, we need a chair. So do I investigate how much gold pressed latinum it's going to cost me to have it reupholstered, or price a new chair?
Opinions, please?
