Got drug to the furniture store today

shoulda boughts them lift recliners, you can adjust them how ever ya want by push button. we gots one and are gonna go gits another. the most comfy recliner I've ever been in! if someone wants our old BIG recliner, come gits it. ain't been used much by us, but one of the cats will miss it!

Glad to hear your helping keep the money from molding in a mason jar out back.

We were gonna buy one of those self rizers for my 96 year old mom but she threw a. Fit about it. She said my grandpa had one and the darn thing launched him out into the middle of the living room floor. That was 40 years ago. She doesnt know how slow they are. They had them there but at $1200.00 each we decided to pass. I have seen them on Craig's list barely used for $200.00. I guess my old one is gonna be set outside for the dogs to sleep on. Its well over 20 years old material is worn slick in several places. Was OK for me till last fall. I seem to be sitting on a steel rod. Hers is a matching chair but it sit in a room we didn't use for the first 15 years, I guess its going in the family room in the basement. Grandso is gonna stay here for 2 years while he attends Jr college in Creston Ia.

i love shopping...if i can go by myself! we retired my old (comfy) recliner about 3 years ago, and bought a lift chair, hoping it would help me with the way my legs are. it does and it's the most comfy recliner i've ever sat in. i love the way i can set it any position i want! the old lady....oooops....i mean the loving wife used it a few times and liked it so much we went and bought her one just like it too! the reason we like them is not so much it lifting us up to enter/exit, but to put it where we are comfy and it stays there until we push a button to move it. i did have a switch go out on mine and the store we bought it at got in a new one, sent 2 guys along with the switch, they drove n25 miles one way, installed the switch and the chargen was $63.00! and it was out of warranty. 

My sister was very sick and near the end.  She had a problem and when the EMS were done her recliner was a mess.  I decided I'd buy her one of those fancy lift recliners,  Her Dr. said no.  The regular electric recliner was fine, but she needed to get up on her own.  This was to keep her a little more active having to stand up on her own.  Made sense to me.

I must have set in a dozen different recliners in that store. All the Same brand before I found 1 that was comfortable to me. And I am setting in it now. Now that I have retired from earning a wage, I seem to spend a lot of time in it. TV/VCR is about 12' across the room, phone is on a table to my right along with a snack for later, wood stove is on me left, snow is shoveled, gonna boil up a big old pot of soup for lunch, got the soup mix from Menard's, my new router table fence is on the table waiting on me to take it back out to the shed, that might happen today or later in the week. And then I gotta go outside and feed some stinking chickens, probably 2 dozen of the dam things and usually get 3 eggs this time of year. That excursion usually cuts into my nap time. Oh well!
