His pouty-lipped klein-dochter (as the Dutch would say) can do the honour in his memory. If she falls asleep while on it, that would be exactly what Ompong would have done, methinks.<BR/><BR/><I>hmmm...do they still sell rocking chairs these days?</I><BR/><BR/>Dekat sini, berlambak. Maklumlah land of rockers. Tapi kalau takde jual kat Malaysia, tempahlah Ena. I think IKEA has them too, tapi the ones I saw tak solid sangat. Balsa, no matter how treated, are just not the wood for these thrones.<BR/><BR/>You can get either indoor or outdoor (lawn or porch/patio) ones. But above all, they should be wooden. Not the newfangled upholstered contraptions. Those are abominations.<BR/><BR/>For people with bad backs (or preggers) a straight-back Kennedy is the best. The leading brands this side of the globe are Amish, Dutailier, Mission Oak, Brooks, Ultramotion and LL Bean. I'm sure some of them have websites you can check for samples.<BR/><BR/>Why am I blabbering on and on about this, because I'm a rocker-fan myself. I use mine for doing everything from watching TV to doing X-words to catching naps. <BR/><BR/>Everyone should have one. Just for that awesome pampered feeling alone, kid you not, they are so worth whatever you paid for it. <BR/><BR/>You don't have to wait till you're a golden-ager to have one. Go ahead Ena and peeps, spoil yourself. <BR/><BR/>You too, Kak Ton. The dash things are so comfortable, they'll bring the pouts back. Or bring one into existence if you aren't lucky enough to have one naturally. ;D <BR/><BR/>[Darn! if sales of rockers suddenly skyrocket in Malaysia, I should be given a cut of the profit.]<BR/><BR/>P.S.
