I posted this on the front porch too:

I have a question please. I was PIFed a Lemo Drop. I really like it. I cleaned it the other day and put the little fill screw in a plastic bag to keep it safe. Now I can't find the bag!!! Anyway, I am using one of the silicon rings and it works, but being a hoarder, I would like some extra screws. I emailed eleaf/Ismoka and got a nice reply that the size of the screw is M 2.5*3.0 P0.45. Now I have not a clue what that means or where to get one. Can anyone help?




Glad Tukii is taken care of and will now be able to mend. Those cones are no fun! Good luck with it. I have put a small child's sock on dog's feet with injuries, wrapped on with vet wrap (a kind of sticky ace bandage), but a cat? Would need a tiny sock!

Thank you for the info on the screw size. Porchers RULE!
It's a mini-set screw
something like you find here:

Actually, have a pup that seems to like her feet. She'll chew till it bleeds. Sometimes front paw, sometimes back. She's easy. So every once in a while... cone. Or something that tastes awful spread on it so she won't chew it.

Are her nails clipped short enough? Sometimes when they get long they hurt their feet/toes and maybe one is bothering her?

Yeah, she gets groomed regularly. I guess I shouldn't say pup. She's 6. :) But they're pups to me til they're like... 30 or so. :D

So what did they say was actually wrong with her. Just chewing?


More like...it might be this..or it could be that.......but we'll bind up her whole leg so she can't chew on it and stick a cone on her neck...see your regular vet in 3-5 days.o_O

like the idea of spreading something awful...would garlic past work?
Oh ok. Guess I should read all the posts before asking stupid questions (only stupid cause it had already been answered). I too had a great time yesterday evening. I haven't laughed that hard in years. Your timing was exquisite. Damn funny. I hope Mary didn't take offense. Went right to sleep after I headed upstairs. Sorry to bail so quickly but, like Iffy said, if I miss the window of opportunity I would be up all night. Slept great and got up at 6am.
Here is something that I hope solves a mystery for many of us, it sure did for. Me...



Ninjas, who'd a thunk it! :lol:

Glad you got some good sleep for a change Matt.

Iffy was the hysterically funny one! Actually...all of us were...we just got on a roll!

My GD set her phone alarm for noon to get up and go home to get ready for work...I said " you worked 12 hours last night and we didn't get back from the vet till 5:30..why don't you take the night off?

She said no, rolled over and went back to sleep...came in the living room an hour later, said she called in sick...and went back to sleep.

I still haven't been to bed...

oldbroads RULE:D



when i do finally go to bed i'll probably sleep for 24 hours!

Update .. it's been a long morning .. knowing that speed was of the essence ..

.. apparently, a laxly enforced provision of the firearm transfer law requires that the seller keep possession of the goods until the FOID card is run and a 24 hour waiting period expires .. thus making the hand written receipt null and void .. so although the paperwork had apparently been filed, which I suspected, an official call to Nancy inquiring as to whether the dude had taken possession resulted in a yes answer .. the dude was then informed he must relinquish the goods back to her and begin the process all over .. she forked over the $300 / he reluctantly forked over the goods back to her ..

At this point, I was way past caring what anyone in the neighborhood thought about my involvement, so after the dust had settled some, I called her and asked if she really wanted to dispose of, would it not be a good idea to at least get another offer .. ?? She agreed, I called a long time acquaintance that sets up at shows .. he called her, came by half an hour later and left her with a good check for $5000, completing the required paperwork as well ..

I'm glad I did not check my blood pressure the last few days as I'm sure it was way up .. I'm still stressed .. nothing can really be done about the riding mower .. but, the good news is I personally was able to stay behind the scenes for the most part, she ended up with a fair offer / sale .. it was an eye opener for her without having to shove it in her face and I guess we can chalk one up for the Good Guys ..

I do appreciate all the input, friends .. I post the update since I know most of you would want to know what the closure of the story is ..

Great job Willie! I appreciate the update because I was still fuming just thinking about this situation. I think you handled it brilliantly and you sure helped your neighbor. If I were in her situation I would be grateful and thankful for someone like you to be around to care enough to help.

Standing ovation for the way you handled that one. Very gentle guidance for the widow, and a good legal kick in the pants for the thief.

That makes me so happy. You're awesome, dude!

Dave, you know, last night you were ragging on me a little heavy on why I did not in some way inform my neighbor she had been taken to the cleaners .. and that's fine, I don't think you were necessarily wrong in your thinking .. but I'll tell you now why I approached it as I did ..

First, my temper was up .. so when I sat down with her, I had to really, really hold back and just get the details and do it in a non-committal way .. then, once I had the details, I had to at least give it some thought and make a few contacts in order to determine, what, if any, recourse might be .. keep in mind this is unfolding over a fairly brief period of time .. I also assured her that I would be more than happy to help her determine a fair value for anything she decided to dispose of from here forward .. I saw nothing to gain by telling her of the mistake at that time .. if it could not be undone, I am not a believer in rubbing salt in the wound .. the best I could hope for, in the event this could not be undone, was to help her in the future from making the same mistake ..

She's an older woman, she's not real savvy on things like this, she lost her soul mate and life partner of around 60 years just two weeks prior .. I did not feel, at that time, it was productive to discuss her getting taken advantage of .. I feel fortunate for her that things worked out and at the same time, she realized on her own she had been taken in .. a lesson is best learned thru the experience, not by after the fact advice ..

However, as you requested last night, should I ever even feel a hint of anyone trying to rip you off, I will place a megaphone near your door and proclaim "Dave, Dave, Mr Dave .. wake up and smell the coffee (which I know you do so well) .. :eek:
