You may want to consider a vertical mouse. I had Carpal Tunnel at w*rk due to a conventional mouse & doc recommended a vertical. Much easier to use too. An Apple Magic Mouse is what we use now (gee, we have Macs). The built in track pad is indispensable. It should pair with any computer. _B

No Pics please.

Thanks for the update...I think this will get easy to use. One question though. How do I turn down the brightness? It's hard on the eyes (at least for me), much brighter background that the previous SW. I couldn't find a slider anywhere. Thx. _B

DW & I are bingeing our way thru the 5 seasons of Babylon 5. Again. Halfway thru Season 5 now. We really enjoyed in in the mid 90s when it first aired. There are so many subtle puns throughout the seasons, i.e. fast food from McBari's, under the golden bones. _B

"Informed Delivery"... Starting last fall, ALL of the scanned junk mail, i.e. We Buy Houses, Retirement Seminars, etc have never been delivered. All of it. We also have had financial documents never turn up. Checking the "I haven't received this mail piece" box has had zero effect. Our local...

I haven't walked that distance since I was a teenager hiking the Appalachian Trail. Even in the Army I was in the Cavalry so no-one walked any appreciable distance. :laugh: Thats quite an accomplishment. BTW, how long did it take to walk 11 miles? _B

Yes, they're practicing this weekend over DMAFB. Fly over our place every day, neat to see. ;) _B

I thought she retired to the Caribbean nearly a decade ago. She must be bored. _B

The metered parking spots and downtown parking garages in our town are free on the weekend. I believe the downtown businesses lobbied the city Politburo in order to encourage non-business traffic on the weekends. _B

Personally, for an oddball shape & size I would drop in to the local lighting store and hand it to a salesperson and say " Give me 2 replacements please ". I had the same problem with a T12 based bulb (I think that's what it was). _B

I developed severe carpal tunnel at w*rk by mousing all day. After a cortisone shot my doctor recommended a vertical mouse. Problem solved nearly overnight. There are many varieties, but by simply turning the forearm 90 degrees completely resolved the pain issue. _B

Yes, is this not a basic pillar of any estate plan? In combination with a retained estate attorney who understands the desires of either party as described in the various wills, etc, and could assist in their fiduciary requirements? We're still refining our estate desires year to year. _B

I'm not sure if this is biased (what news site isn't in a way), but I read the New Statesman from time to time. https://www.newstatesman.com/politics _B

DrRoy, DW & I have been attending the various Tucson Gem & Mineral shows since the early 90s (we live there duh:facepalm:). I can offer a few comments in addition to the ones above. 1. Presuming you don't have a tax ID tied to a Gem/Lapidary business, plan on skipping the wholesale only shows...

Only once, at Atlanta Hartsfield. We picked up a car from our usual rental agency, and a little while later noticed the turn signal on one direction was flashing very fast (burned out bulb). So I ended up using hand signals in that direction. In the evening, we noticed one of the headlamps was...

Google Jackery.com or take a peek at their products on Amazon. There are some small 1kw units that might work for you. There are also copycat / clone products too. _B

The car can be replaced, you cannot. I'm glad you are OK. Happy ER! :) _B

Growing up near NYC in the 60s has given me a great liking to that "style"pizza, thin rubbery crust, dripping with oil and tongue burning. Haven't found it anywhere else, regardless of what the establishment claims. Second for me is a Chicago "style" pizza, deep dish with the cheese on the...

The jury summons should state what. is acceptable & unacceptable attire. That info may also be found on the court's website. _B

In our home Brit Box is known as Binge Box, at least for DW. Currently we're plodding thru "MI-5", titled as "Spooks" in the UK. It's well acted and keeps your attention. However, some of the plots are a little on the ridiculous side (no spoilers here). It's interesting to watch the cell...

Neither for us anymore. We drive a Miata, ok? :laugh: Seriously, on the monthly Old Geezer Day at the local supermarkets we have to carefully pack the trunk in order to take advantage of the whopping 10% discount. That car has saved us a fortune. :coolsmiley: _B

Yes, that would work. Thanks:) _B

I'd like to keep the original packing since it was functional in a military environment (although I bet it would be pitched/destroyed in a matter of days in the field). Strictly for looks. And the radio is rugged enough for general ham radio use (I won't be doing tactical summersaults in the...

Thanks for all the tips. Cutting storage foam blocks sounds "easy", however I haven't found blocks of the right dimensions yet (the photo I posted isn't too clear as to the wall thickness). Plus, I would more than likely fark the whole thing up. :angel: I have a scrap piece of similar...

One project of late is restoring a Czech RF-10 manpack radio (Cold War vintage). It is packaged in a styrofoam container (box & lid) which slip into a vinyl carrying case. 1980 vintage. The styrofoam edges are beginning to crumble slightly. This is not the high density foam used by crafters...
