i love these fans. when a burglar enters the home, just shove his head against the fan cage at full power.

A number of yachts (e.g. Kadey-Krogen) include Stressless chairs as a default.

We had ours re-upholstered by a local specialist, it was cool to be able to choose the leather etc but keep dad's favorite chair. Cost as much as a used chair to do, but worth it.

Striped Albino California King. Looking now I see they "can live to 20 years or more" leads me to believe that she'd be lucky to still be around.

Geez. Scary looking considering my kid can fit her fingers into a basic box fan …and tower fans too.

Miele if you have nice clothes. Speedqueen if you have cheap clothes.

Salomon has some very solid jackets and pants for just these scenarios.
E.g. (but explore site for many others)

In case the fan wants to fly out and slice your throat I guess

Ecovessel. Steel interior, even the lid so no plastic touches the liquid. It’s so easy to clean. The water always has that cold fresh taste.

I read hardy as handy and imagined the catfish repairing a hole in some drywall

That reminds me of my grandfather’s shovel…and I bet it’s still in use somewhere.

I got a job working for the Ironworkers Union and that in turn made me want to support my brothers and sisters and buy American wherever I could. When you buy American high quality is the standard for the most part, and I can finally afford to buy it for life instead of buy it for now.

I had one for about thirty years and on mine the leather on the armrests started deteriorating. Wasn’t able to buy replacement armrests.
To be fair I never used leather conditioner on them and I’m pretty sure that would have helped protect the leather from many years of lotion covered arms.
That said, they are the most comfortable chairs I’ve ever sat in and would buy another.

If I had kept my snake when I moved away from home she'd be in her late 20s. Hopefully she still is, somewhere. I'm told she went to a good home by my reptile-enthusiast buddy.

I have one. I’m 6”1, 260. I enjoy mine. Mine are wood frame though. We bought them in 2005. Just be sure to get the big one. When I sit in my wife’s chair there is definitely a noticeable difference
