It wasn't difficult to. The way you talk about something as simple as an arm says that much, not to mention the way you spoke of the one person who might know how to fix it without this cobbled-together method I'm using currently.

Plus, you're the sentimental type. [wow.] I'll admit to not understanding many social cues, but that was easy enough to parse. That said, considering the importance, it may be worth looking into a total swap. Without that person here to perform complete repairs, you might not want to risk it. The decision is yours regardless.

...and I do think you should hang an arm above the mantle. It adds something a little unhinged to the decor.
