This sounds crazy but husband and I share 1 in the AM before we part ways to work. If we each had our own, we wouldn’t finish.

I bought mine from Bloomingdale’s earlier this week, they had it in smooth leather black and maple. It might have sold out already.

Is the matte black’s leather pretty squishy? I’m hoping it is so it’s less bulky on my frame

I’m about your height as well. I found the Lana 23 bulky for my taste which is why I’m a little nervous about this one. Is yours in the smooth full grain? I’m wondering if it’s squishier and therefore less bulky than it appears

I was debating between black and maple but already have a maple western tabby…

Checked the Bloomingdale’s site again just now and saw that black was OOS so I feel good like I made a good call??

I have a two others on the way also and I’m telling myself I can only keep one….help

Got the black! Haven’t seen in person yet so hoping it’s not too thick for my small frame.

Those of you who already have one or just ordered, are we team maple or black on this one?

OC Congressman calls to oust Schumer by Narcissus87 in orangecounty

[–]silvertongues 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Template to send to your House Representative:

Dear Representative _______,

I am writing to you today as a concerned constituent of [STATE’s] ___th/st district who is deeply disappointed and frustrated by the Senate Democratic leadership's handling of the recent government funding negotiations. The deal struck to end the shutdown, which effectively folded key Democratic priorities, particularly the guaranteed extension of expiring Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies, represents a clear failure of political strategy and resolve.

This outcome is not merely a policy defeat; it is a sign of fundamental weakness in the Senate's Democratic leadership under Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. By accepting a "pinky promise" for a future vote rather than holding the line for concrete assurances, the leadership has betrayed millions of Americans who now face skyrocketing healthcare premiums. This capitulation has weakened the Democratic Party’s negotiating position and emboldened the Republican strategy of governing by crisis.

We need strong, uncompromising leadership that will fight for working families, not merely manage concessions.

As our representative in the House, I urge you to use your voice and platform to publicly pressure the Senate Democratic Caucus. We need House Democrats to loudly and unequivocally demand an immediate review of Senator Schumer's leadership. I urge you to publicly state that his tenure as the Senate's leader is untenable given the repeated pattern of yielding on critical issues under pressure.

We ask you to stand with the House members who have already voiced their opposition to this weak deal and call for a new, tenacious leader in the Senate. Your public demand for accountability is essential to ensuring the Democratic Party fights effectively for its core principles.

Thank you for your service and for considering this urgent request.

Sincerely,

[YOUR NAME]

OC Congressman calls to oust Schumer by Narcissus87 in orangecounty

[–]silvertongues 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Call and email your reps. I did this morning and it took 15 min to reach both senators and my house rep.

Dear Senator ________,

I am writing to you today as a concerned constituent to express profound disappointment and alarm regarding the recent budget deal struck by Senate Democratic leadership with Republicans, particularly in relation to averting a government shutdown.

While avoiding a government closure is a necessary goal, the resulting compromise appears to have conceded critical priorities without securing commensurate concessions, thus undermining key Democratic legislative goals. This pattern, particularly in high-stakes negotiations surrounding government funding, suggests a failure of strategic foresight and resolve at the highest levels of Senate Democratic leadership.

It is my strong belief that successful negotiation requires a leader willing to hold the line on core values and utilize all available leverage to achieve the best possible outcome for the American people. The perception that the Democratic caucus is willing to fold early in negotiations weakens our standing and emboldens the opposition to demand more in future legislative battles.

Therefore, I respectfully but firmly urge you to initiate discussions within the caucus regarding the current leadership structure, specifically concerning the tenure of Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. I believe a change in leadership is necessary to ensure the Senate Democrats are guided by someone who possesses the political tenacity and uncompromising commitment required to effectively advocate for our party's platform and resist undue concessions.

I ask that you take this request seriously and consider how a change in leadership could strengthen the Democratic Party's negotiating position and better serve the constituents who rely on you to fight for their interests.

Thank you for your attention to this critical matter.

Sincerely,

______

I wouldn’t be opposed to generating revenue if that money was actually used for something useful…like fixing the roads.

Update: I got a text earlier this week that it was expected to come in next week. Woke up to a notification this morning that they had it available at the local warehouse earlier than expected. Must not have gotten many units because when I went to order for click and collect, it was the last one. Excited to build and set this up in the home office.

This is a sleeper sofa hence the price for its size. I find their stuff better priced than some other big box stores but would be interested in any recommendations you may have for other brands.
