more than just another zacks leaving

our beloved green chair has, i think, just broken beyond repair. it came into our family in early 2000 and has faithfully served us and our deriers f0r the past 8 years, from rue versailles apartments to boston and back to our current home in southfield. everything seemed fine until the latter part of boston when it just didnt have the oomph anymore to open fully, and then soon after, one of the screws cracked in half. luckily we had the formans to bail us out and jeff came over with a scew cutter and metal sander and we patched ol green chair back together again. but alas, nature is an evil beast and back on michigan soil, once again ,we noticed the oomph was gone, the leg rest just didn't flip out like it used to, so a new screw was placed where the boston screw had been. but this latest breaking i fear is too much for ol green chair to handle, as not the screw broke, but the metal bar that surrounded the screw, that served as that particular screws home. now the chair can't even sit straight anymore, it moans when we sit on it and tears are streaming down it short yet once sturdy legs. to all of our family and friends that have had the pleasure of feeling its great green softness envelope their bottoms and hug them as they sank into the big green chair. it wants you to know that one day it hope to once again to be able to cuddle and love the way it once did in the past, in better times, but if it unable to do so, it also wants you to there will be another big chair in its place to take care of your bottom
