Donnie, I got my watch at Independent Living Aids. It was about $25 on line. I've had it for about 4 years and I love it. It has four alarms, it tells you the time and date and also has a stop watch. It's nothing fancy but very dependable like a Timex watch used to be. For the price, you

Tom, I presume you can replace the battery in your watch. The problem I encountered with the Radio Shack metal watch was that being able to replace the battery was a real crap shoot. Also, which watch do you have? Cy From: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com [mailto:blindhandy...@yahoogroups.com]

I was pleased to learn that our municipal water authority implemented one of my suggestions. There were many times when a water line repair caused dirty and sometimes muddy water. When this happens they make a water boil advisory. Only one time did a neighbor think to call me in the morning to

Thanks Betsy, That is all I found too. I just have a pad lock that I want to glue the screws in so it can not be opened with a screw driver instead of the key for the padlock. I am open to other suggestions, I just already have the gorilla glue and wanted it to work without a trip to the

So this time I had the good sense to Google glue metal to metal, instead of gorilla glue. I learned that Crazy glue will most likely do the job even though it is listed as the thrird best choice. Sotering and then a two part apoxy if you must glue were what the first recommendations were. I

ALoha Jennifer, I know this is a much smaller issue, but many people I know use the crazy glue to keep the tiny little screws on their glasses from coming out. My husbands glasses have metal frames and it works great. Good luck, Betsy At 09:36 AM 7/6/2010, you wrote: So this time I had the

Eastman 910, which was the predecessor to crazy glue, is what we used to use for metal to metal bonding. We had to have the surfaces very smooth and clean but it really held. I understand crazy glue isn't as strong but is much more forgiving on the preparation. Tony -Original

I think the crazy glue will do if you can get it applied and get the screws tightened before the glue sets. Maybe just loosen the screws a bit, apply the smallest drop of glue to the threads under the head, and tighten quick. Of course be sure you don't drip crazy glue into the rest of the lock or

That stuff scares me! I have a bad habit of getting glue where I don't want it and that stuff is nasty! I recommend some form or other of epoxy. It is a little more forgiving and doesn't tend to stick body parts together. - Original Message - From: Jennifer Jackson To:
