Q:I read somewhere that chair dips are a great way to work out your triceps. I'm going to start doing chair dips everyday now, but in how fast will i see results (and are they any other ways to speed up the process)? Also do chair dips work out your biceps also? Any advice would be much appreciated.

What Do Chair Dips Work

Q:My son have been complaining about his chair at school giving him lower back problem ( he is 7 year s old) and I cannot find any good ergonomic chair for him that can be used at school. Any help finding a chair for him would be greatly appreciated

There are lots to choose from online: specifically made for youth, for orthopedic issues. I would ask the spine doctor you see, if you do, or go to your local pharmacy. They have catalogs and chairs on-site for you to try out and price. I put Orthopedic chair in Google and got lots of hits. I know it's best to buy it from a local store, but if there is a guarantee return policy, you'll be able to return it if it's not the right chair for him. My Mom had a similar problem, and I was shocked by how few businesses in the health care business, knew anything about chairs--even chiropractors and physical therapists? good luck.

Q:The chair is a dark brown lazy-boy chair with vinyl covering. It has gotten really hard and brittle, making it crack to show the stuffing stuff underneath. I was wondering how much, at the cheapest, it would cost to recover it.

You really have to shop around Visit fabric stores - those that specialize in upholstery fabric. Take pictures and very good measurements of your chair. The folks at the fabric store can help you determine how much fabric you will need. Then get labor quotes. Unfortunately re-upholstering furniture can be as expensive if not more expensive than purchasing new unless the furniture is originally very high end. Since you chair is vinyl it probably does not fall into that category. You are better off getting a new chair. Sorry

Q:I found a very cool shaped very old chair at a junk shop for $5. It is in fairly good shape and sturdy (none of the arms or legs wiggle). But it is missing the seat, which I would imagine was one time a woven cane seat that has fell out. I would prefer not to re-cane a new seat (I have done this before, but I don't find it comfortable to sit on this type of seat and they don't wear well). I would much rather put in a padded upholstered seat, but am not sure how? There is just a large hole in the middle where the seat used to be, and I'm having trouble thinking of ways to attach a piece of wood with padding and upholstery. It doesn't have to be super sturdy, as it won't have more than a 170lb person in it, and will more than likely not be used daily (it will be for our bedroom). Any ideas?Chair similar to this one (no seat)- http://krypton.mnsu.edu/~wayne/Caning/roundchair.JPG

The most throrough way is to dissassemble the chair and reglue it. Label each part with some masking tape and number it so each piece goes back exactly where it came from. The only thing more frustrating than trying to find the right piece as the glue is setting up is to discover you have a piece in upside down the next day. If there are nails or screws in the joints or corner blocks remove them first. Then generally the chairs will fall apart with a little tapping. Clean the inside and outside of each joint with a little sandpaper -- lightly, so you don't create a gap. Then get some white glue like Elmer's or Titebond and reassemble the chair. Make sure it sits level, all the joints are tight and leave it alone for 24 hours.

Q:What states still use the electric chair?Also if someone is executed by the chair, are their organs still good to donate for medical purposes? Specifically their heart?Really need answers.

Nine states have an electric chair but it's use gets complicated. In some states the prisoner must request electrocution, in others it depends when the crime occured, and in others it depends on whether or not their primary means of electrocution is ruled unconstitutional. Organs would probably not be usable because the high voltage used does a great deal of internal damage beyond stopping the heart. In Georgia they proposed the guillotine as the means of execution because organs would not be damaged.

Q:If you do, do you have a pad in it? Where did you get it? I found a website, but they are $44.00 for a plain one!!

I have a wooden hand crafted Amish high chair. It did not come with a pad, so I just started using the cushion from one of our kitchen chairs. It worked so nicely I went out and bought a different chair cushion of which I used in the high chair now. Sometimes when the cover of the cushion gets dirty, I will use an old towel to wrap the pad in which works nicely for messes. Just take off pad and wash. the chair cushion I bought was only like 6 or 7 dollars at shopko. It think 44 dollars for something that is going to get much wear and tear is insane. Just go buy a cushion from a department store and put in the chair (reccomend one with a removeable cover!)

Q:I just painted my room a soft green. Does anyone have any links to a chair that I could fill an empty space I have by the wall? Maybe a chair that converts into a bed? Thanks!

Q:I'm looking to buy my husband (mid-30's) a gaming chair for a birthday gift. Any suggestions? I see there are wireless ones, which are good. I want one with the speakers built in, and that vibrates.

both are wireless, have vibration motors in the seat, speakers and a subwoofer built in, and since your husband is in his mid 30’s he probably wants (or you probably want) something with a simple black color scheme (like the x rocker pros) and not crazy colors and racing stripes. This suggestion is based on the assumption that your husband is a console gamer (xbox 360, playstation 3, etc.) and not gaming on his computer, because if he is a PC gamer neither of these will work, you’ll need something taller. Hope this helps.

Drop him a line, I'm sure he'd have a answer for you. You'll see from his site, he can access his wheelchair's settings via his computer because there is a screencap of it's settings. Somewhere on that site it's bound to say how he does it. If not, ask him 3

Q:i just got 2 kittens yesterday and all they do is pretty much stay under my rocking chair. their 4 months old but i don't know how to get them out from under the rocking chair without hurting them. please help i want to spend time with them and have fun with them.

New homes usually take cats awhile to adjust to...it is normal. When you say 'rocking chair' and are referring to a LazyBoy type of recliner here is what I did. I adopted two cats last April and they too hid under the recliner. I was concerned about them getting hurt if someone sat in the chair and started rocking. Get behind the chair and tip it forward all the way. The little darlings will usually run to another hiding place. Take two pillows and stuff them into the cavity that is the underside of the chair. Put the chair back to it's original position and check to see if there is any spots that the kitties can access. Add one more pillow to the back of the recliner kinda stuffing partially under the recliner. This method stopped my new babies from getting underneath the recliner. Before you do this to the recliner you may want to go around your place and kitty-proof each room. Look low and eliminate places they can hide that you don't want them to hide in. It'll be worth it.
