Recliner handle broke

On Tuesday night I sat down to be my usual lazy-ass self, and when I tried to recline my recliner sofa the handle just broke right off. I took it off and saw what the problem was, and found a replacement on that one online shopping place. It took about 15 minutes to fix, and that's only because I'm me. So just in case this happens to anyone else, don't throw that furniture away! It's a pretty easy fix, and only cost about $10.
As a bonus, I was forced to sit on the other end of the sofa instead of always sitting in the same spot. I always mean to rotate around so my sofa isn't lopsided.

My son and his family moved in with me right after I got a divorce a couple of years ago because they were building a new house. I suggested they just bring their furniture because I was getting rid of mine anyway (taint of the ex-husband). It made more sense than putting it all in storage. They had a very nice living room set, all electric.
What I didn't like most was that it takes too long to un-recline, especially when I needed to get up quickly because of the shenanigans of my then two-year-old grandson.
Yeah, a power outage would suck too. I like to keep things simple.
