To put it shortly my chair is toast.
I had a very nice, comfortable, ergonomic desk chair.
It was very old, and second hand. The ladies at the women's crisis center where I volunteer gave it to me when they replaced their office furniture. I loved in. Unfortunately, in the past few days the bolts started breaking. One at a time the heads of the bolts holding the chair to the base broke, Seeing as we are in the middle of a freak snow storm lasting days, I do not have a car, and all my boys were not in school due to the above two conditions, I had no way to run out to a hardware store to replace the bolts.
In the mean time I was just being careful about how I sat on the chair. My children however, are not so careful. This morning they started fighting over the computer and within seconds of starting to shove, and while I was making my way across the room to stop them, the third bolt snapped, and the boys fell with their full weight on the chair. The frame of the chair, and the spring bent and the upholstery tore much more than it was already torn.
In short, it is time to hold a funeral for my beloved chair and start looking for a replacement. (more)

My favorite memory of a really bad computer chair----Chair races down the hallway in our dorm. . . Man those were fun!
If you don't have a decent chair you will pay for it. Hope your wish comes through.
I have worked in an office ,you have just got to have the best chair, good luck, Lupe
Jeez! I just gave away my nearly-new comfortable office chair on Freecycle in OUR city. I can't imagine one that's not active! Guess i'm in too big of a city!
and there is an attitude here about anything new and different. I was suprised how inactive it was when I joined too.
Just in case you don't get your wish granted, have you considered joining your local chapter of Freecycle? You donate used items for free to those in need, and after 3 donations you may post requests for items. It's a great resource- do check it out [ link ]
i KNOW how important this is! Good Luck!
Good Luck Karen~! you deserve it :)

Yup, falling backward off one of those broken chairs is no fun!

I help to moderate a support forum for Adults with Asperger Syndrome and those who love them.
I use my computer for long distance calling because I can get 300 minutes free per week for $15 every 3 months when calling to a phone and unlimited free when calling to another computer, and most of my friends (and my children's father) are long distance.
and... well... I'm a computer addict. I admit it. I spend a lot of time at my computer. A comfy chair would be very nice.
Like Arnold said... I'll be bock
You have my vote!!! I know what it is like to have a comfortable chair and then lose in in such a great loss...... I hope u get ur naughty wish and get ur chair!!! Good Luck and God Bless!!!!
