I've got arthritis and have one of the gizmo coil wrapper things. I got the deluxe set. Only two if the wires are close. The 1mm and the 1.5mm are perfect for a micro coil. Best thing I ever bought for coils.

All I did was bend up a couple of coat hangers in two different sizes, one 1mm and the other smaller, don't have a micrometer to measure just how big the second is, but they work great! :thumbs:

Been looking all over the place for one of these, but can't find 'em here:
Handy man


Got something like this one instead: Magnifying Glass with light save mine has a stand, no clamp. Then I have a mini vice that clamps on the desktop to hold stuff to free up the other hand.

Greatest invention for old folks since two ply tissue paper! :2cool:

Radio Shack carries them... if you have a radio shack over there.....

Afternoon all. Hey IG Well the hearing test shows I can hear below 40 decibels in one ear. Which means I have my DOT card and can go to work tomorrow. But the test also shows that I'm not so good with voice recognition (already knew that) and recommends that I think about getting a hearing aid. So made an appointment for next month to talk about it. I'll have to get one sooner or later.

just tell them your voice recognition is just as good as most smart phones... :)

I saw something really rare today
it was a 30ish Y/O woman driving a car and not holding a smartphone....

Did you check to see if she had a Bluetooth headset on, or perhaps a talking car?!

Yeah, I know it's not KITT, but it looks SO MUCH COOLER!!

Hasn't hearing aid technology been much improved?

Happy Happy Birthday George! Btw, why does Lincoln get this big ol' statue of himself in his chair, while all you got is a stone stick poking heavenwards? I was thinking about my Norfolk boy Lord Nelson. He's on a stone stick poking up heavenwards too, but at least he's on the top of it, on his horse looking victorious….

Abe didn't get the nation's capitol named after him. :pervy:

Actually, it's time to change the name of the nation's capitol. "His Excellency' would be ashamed of what happens there.

I'm pretty sure I'm gonna die in a car wreck too...


By reaching blindly into the backseat swatting, hoping to connect with a kid (doesn't matter which one, they usually both need it)

You sound like my Dad when I was coming up. I'd get smacked for doing something my brother did and when I called him on it he'd just say, "Makes up for the times you got away with s**t". My Dad did not apologize to kids. They were a much lower form of human in his eyes. :)

I don't think they're lower life forms by any means, but I won't ever apologize for discipline. Most of the kids I know are completely undisciplined and you know it right away. I was taught a different form of respect and I want nothing more than to pass that on if they learn nothing else from me. There's no place in the real world for spoiled brats. Don't get me wrong either, they absolutely know I love them and will be there for them anyway I can, but my goal is to make them responsible for their own actions and to know how to stand on their own.


Sorry for the long winded rant :p

My Dad would have died for us too. But kids were kids and adults were adults and we were often reminded. :)

Chloe is scared to death of me, yet I am her partner and her cuddle daddy. Perfect relationship to have with a single child who would have a tendency to be spoiled..

She's reading fairy tales to me, while I feed her dinner. I've confiscated her iPad until we get on the flight to India, because she was abusing the privilege of using it.

Nothing wrong with kids having a bit of fear of their parents. IMO.

Bronze if George was alive today. Well all I'll say is it would be a far, far better place. And Abe didn't do to shabby either.
Welcome to the new years, that we have to suffer through. Children crying for more from anyone they can get it from. The State, Feds, ETC. Ok I'm done with this. It just ticks me off, to see how our youth has grown up.
