Recliners and Football Seasons

Recliners and Football Seasons

If you like professional football, then by now, you have most likely heard about the XFL. This new slew of teams will add 10 extra weeks of regularly scheduled games. Also, there will be a couple of playoff games and then a championship game. All in all, this is a good thing for people who love to watch the brutally poetic sport of football at the professional level. Admittedly, I have only watched a couple of games and so I have not quite decided on which team I am going to root for. Some people may think this is fickle, but I have always enjoyed rooting for teams who have a mascot that I enjoy. It seems to me, considering my nerdy side, that I should cheer for the Seattle Dragons. The only problem that prevents me from doing so is that I can't stand the Seattle Seahawks. I know that they have nothing to do with each other, it's just a hang-up in my head. Maybe I should just stick with the closest team; the Dallas Renegades. 

A lot of talk about the XFL centers around how the rules have been altered from traditional NFL rules to make the games faster paced. While there are a lot of rules that differ, one thing stays the same; you want to be comfortable while you watch your team. If you don't have a comfortable recliner or sofa to sit on while you watch the game, it doesn't matter how fast-paced it can be. Unless you are buying tickets to a game, you can sit in the comfort of your own home and enjoy this new second season of professional football while sitting in the best recliner seat in the house.

Furniture and How Light Affects It

Sunlight on Your Furniture

How do you have your furniture positioned in your house? Chances are that some of the items in your home are in contact with direct sunlight. Furniture that sits in the sun is fine if they are designed to be that way. The materials used to make actual outdoor furniture vary greatly from the ones used to make indoor furniture. If they are made to go in your backyard, they are designed to withstand harsher climates, typically. As for your indoor sofas, recliners, and tables, they won't hold up to the sun's rays very well. 

Bleaching Fabric

Most homes have several windows and that means that as the sun makes its way across the sky, chances are that light is beating down on your furniture at some point in the day. If you have a couch, or love seat sitting in the same area by a window, over time the sunlight can bleach the fabric. If you regularly move your furniture in your house, this may not be a problem for you since the sun won't be hitting the same places each day. Of course, during the summer is when this will be the worst time for your home furnishings. 

Ruined Finishes

If you have wooden furniture that is exposed to sunlight for extended parts of the day, the finishes on these items might get damaged. Heat and sunlight will dry out the wood. Varnish and other protective coatings may begin to crack and break as the sun beats down over time. Keeping your wooden furniture moisturized and rotating them can help with their longevity. 

Dried Leather

Leather is one of the more resilient types of furniture and can last a long time if properly maintained. Part of the proper maintenance is keeping the leather moisturized. As with wood, leather can become dried, brittle, and cracked if exposed to periods of direct sunlight. Keeping leather furniture completely out of the daylight will help lower how often you need to treat it. 

While it may not be possible to keep everything you own out of the sun, you can keep an eye out for when and where you see sun sneaking through the curtains. Taking a proactive approach and moving things around will always help in the long run.

Need a New Fridge?

If you have ever had a fridge go out unexpectedly, it can be an absolute nightmare. I have personally had two go out on me and both times were frustrating, to say the least. If you haven't ever had to deal with this type of situation, consider yourself lucky. 

The first time it happened to me, I was living by myself. Other than the fact that I had to empty what few items I had in my fridge, I didn't really have a hard time until I tried to get a new one. At the time, I couldn't afford a brand new model. What I ended up doing was buying a used mini-fridge and I lived like a college student for a couple of months. The only part that was bad during that time was that I couldn't really keep any ice for very long. I did, however, find out that you don't leave a non-working empty fridge close for any amount of time...

The second time I had a refrigerator quit working, I had children and it was an utter nightmare for a few weeks. I had just stocked up on groceries and so I had to go buy several ice chests and fill them with my food in an attempt to keep it fresh. The constant need for ice and the worrying about food pathogens that accompanied was fraying my nerves. I would have just driven and bought one, but I had no way to get it home. I was left to make due until the workers delivered the new one.
