Oh, Dana. That is sucky.
I just got word that my family didn't get any damage from the tornado and all are safe.
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.

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?
I'm a fan of keeping old things, so I'd at least price out re-upholstery, and figure out what height ottoman you need
Maybe the people who re-upholster the chair could make you a custom ottoman to go with?
