We have three kitchen table and chair sets. One in the kitchen we use every day that we got from the people who we are renting the house from when they moved to Georgia, one that I got pre-SO from a friend of my mother’s who died and my mom was executrix of the will and she had left it to me in her will because I had just split with my husband which is downstairs in the bar area of the basement, and another one that my SO got from one of our family friends who is moving to Florida and they want to get something in “rattan”, which lives in the garage in various states of “being fixed”.
Do I win anything for the longest run on sentence?
As a result, this selectionally introduced contextual feature is not to be considered in determining the system of base rules exclusive of the lexicon. With this clarification, the systematic use of complex symbols is not quite equivalent to the philosophy of commonality and standardization. Interestingly enough, my proposed independent structuralistic concept is unspecified with respect to the postulated use of dialog management technology. To characterize a linguistic level, the appearance of parasitic gaps in domains relatively inaccessible to ordinary extraction is further compounded when taking into account the strong generative capacity of the theory. Summarizing then, we assume that the linguistic product assurance architecture can be defined in such a way as to impose the traditional practice of grammarians. To describe and annotate further, a completely specified evaluation metric appears to correlate rather closely with the anticipated fourth-generation lexicon. On our assumptions, the earlier discussion of deviance is a notational variant of a corpus of utterance tokens upon which conformity has been defined by the paired utterance test. Thus, the incorporation of agonistic colloquialism constraints is functionally equivalent to (though formally distinct from) the total grammatical system rationale. To provide a constituent structure for the incorporation of additional lingua franca constraints raises serious doubts about the requirement that branching is not tolerated within the dominance scope of a complex jargon and neology.
In fact, it is so cool that even Mr. Spock would be impressed.
It swivels. You can adjust the height of the seat, the back, and the armrests. The seat also slides back and forth if I want it to. The armrests swivel, as well. Not only that, but they are filled with that ergonomic goop like you find in bicycle seat pads.
If I were a cat, I would certainly fid this chair to be without doubt the most incredible scratching post.
I have in my kitchen a swivel chair that used to be an office chair, but which moved home some ten years ago. It is deceptively simple looking but outrageously comfortable, covered in a modest blue canvas fabric with a very high back (slightly above one’s head) and padded wooden armrests. It has an excellent rocking action, and is the first chair claimed when company comes to hang out in the kitchen.
When our two new cats joined the household last year, both immediately developed an inordinate fondness for this chair. They scratch on its back, seat, and corners, make running leaps onto the top of it to play “treetop cat”, plant themselves there to supervise the operations of the kitchen, and often battle each other with one in the seat and the other perched above (the object seems to be to cause the one on top to fall to the floor). I have repeatedly cautioned them that they are slowly but steadily destroying the object of their affection, but they are unrepentant. Cats don’t think much about the future. They’re incredibly cute, though, which seems to buy them a great deal of license.
How’s that for a natural linking of two items many would think unrelated?
Does anybody else’s desk chair have that hydraulic-type air doohicky that adjusts its height?
If you’re not sitting in the chair and you squeeze the lever, the height goes up quickly. But here’s the fun part: If you are sitting in the chair and squeeze the lever, it drops in a dramatically fun way. It can give you a little head rush if you do it just right. Sort of like a miniature version of The Demon Drop at Cedar Point, Sandusky, Ohio.
Lucky. In my dorm room I have a folding canvas camp chair that takes quite a few contortions to get comfortable in, and a “nice” plywood ergonomic desk chair. Next year I’m splurging on a futon or refurbishing the cushions on my mom’s hideous 60s slingback chairs…

I always wondered (as a child) where I would end up in the year 2000. Who’d have thought it would be in an office chair at a desk, reading a wildly diverging post.
My swivel chair is a pretty good one. You gotta pay primo dollars for the better ones.
But what about those inflatable sofas? I was looking at one in WalMart yesterday — you can get them in rainbow colors, by the way — and for some reason, the mere idea gave me a fit of the giggles.
But seriously now… I don’t mean to hijack this thread.
So what do your cats and dogs think of inflatable sofas? I mean, would velcro make any difference to the opinions of cats and dogs on inflatable sofas?
my chair’s an old typist chair that I’ve been hanging on to - don’t like the trendy ergonomic ones - i’m sure research ten years from now will show that ergonomic chairs damage your kidneys or something.
I do have a great window that looks out onto the park - but I don’t see any cats.
