    Recommend A Good Dress Belt For Me

    Well, I saw this one, but I don't it's worth over $600. http://us.louisvuitton.com/eng-us/products/lv-initiales-reversible-calf-leather-belt-000015

    Recommend A Good Dress Belt For Me

    I'm sick of going through cheap dress belts that don't hold up. I have wasted money on a dozen belts where the leather tore, the metal prong broke, etc. I have to dress up for work, so a Wilderness Instructor type belt would look ridiculous. I have 2 Amish belts from Hank's Clothing, and they...

    Quality Replacement Table Lamp Switch - Do They Exist?

    Well, I called the Lamp Clinic. They said a quality replacement switch does not exist. In fact, they told me they didn't even know of a switch that they felt would last for 5 - 10 years. Which to me is a joke. I just bought a 1955 Lionel Train that worked perfectly, smoke and lamp included...

    Quality Replacement Table Lamp Switch - Do They Exist?

    Yup, that's exactly what I've been buying all these years and replacing. Like I said, I've tried all the variations of this type of switch, with equally unsatisfactory results. Paul, your idea of leaving the switch on and plugging it into, say, a timer with its own switch is an interesting...

    Quality Replacement Table Lamp Switch - Do They Exist?

    Does anyone know of a high quality replacement lamp switch? You know the really crappy cardboard with the really thin brass(?) covering that are installed in about 10 million table lamps across the world. That you can either twist a knob, pull a chain, or push a plastic rod to switch the light...

    Amazon Product Reviews

    I just wrote my first negative Amazon product review for an iPod able that never arrived after an almost 2 month wait. This review was denied to be published. I have at least a half dozen positive Amazon product reviews that were published. Now, maybe it's because I never actually received...

    Christmas Light Safety?

    Thanks for the replies. I've had the lights on for about 7.5 hours a day now for the last 4 days. No signs of problems, did finger temperature checks of the wall warts, cords, and the lights themselves, everything good so far. I guess if there were problems with these lights, about 20,000...

    Christmas Light Safety?

    Last year, I finally got around to upgrading my Christmas lighting to LED. Nothing big, just some Sylvania Led snowflakes and a string of some multi-colored Led star lights. Anyway, I noticed the packaging said not to leave the lights on unattended. Now, in the old days of wrapping hot...

    Let Watch Battery Die and Just Use Cell Phone?

    Well, I came up with anther reason to wear a watch. Support you local watch repair guy! I was actually leaning towards not replacing my watch battery, when I walked by a watch repair shop while I was doing some Christmas shopping. I asked the local merchant how much to replace the battery...

    Let Watch Battery Die and Just Use Cell Phone?

    Actually, that's not true. I always wear one of these when I travel: See Rule #3 Do not Hot Link images. Please host on an image site, Imageshack or similar and repost – Thanks Norm

    Let Watch Battery Die and Just Use Cell Phone?

    I wear a Casio Data Bank 150 - I've worn it for years. It's been a great watch. Before it I had an almost identical Casio Data Bank 50, it never died, I just upgraded. See Rule #3 Do not Hot Link images. Please host on an image site, Imageshack or similar and repost – Thanks Norm The only...

    Recommend To Me A Miter Saw

    What am I trying to build? Some custom cabinets for my weird sized kitchen number one. After that, I want to build an "around the ceiling model railroad" for my S-gauge train collection in my too small house. I want to build a lot of new crawl space covers that go all around my property. If...

    Anybody have a "Chawly Changer" coin dispenser?

    Re: Anybody have a "Chawly Changer" coin dispenser? I know this is an old thread, but I just bought my 12th Chawley Changer! I originally bought 6, but my friends, even my sister, ended up liking them, so I stupidly ended up giving all 6 away! So, I just placed my second order for 6. I get...

    Svea 123 campstove

    I've had one of these for decades. I think they might even still make them. It is an extremely simple mechanism. Use white gas - Coleman fuel is fine. You are missing part of the stove. It's a cylindrical part that rotates onto the base which the pot is supposed to rest on while cooking...
