My wife developed vertigo a few years ago, and it was cured with physical therapy. Hers was caused by mineral deposits in the inner ear getting stuck in the cilia. Exercises helped dislodge the mineral deposits. She occasionally has a recurrence, and does the exercises again to get rid of the vertigo.

After you get your eye doctor appointment, and they give you your prescription, the best prices on glasses is Zinni Optical. Just google it. Way cheaper that Wal Mart, or any of the discount eyeglass providers. I just got a pair of no-lines bifocals with anti-scratch coating (spring earpieces), plus a pair of no-lines bifocal sunglasses, plus a pair of no-line bifocals sunglasses for my wife for $140. The last time I got glasses at Marietta Eye Clinic, it cost me about $300 just for one pair of no-line bifocals without scratch resistant coating. And that was after insurance that covered $

Hey thanks guys! I think I'll try the auto parts store to get some steel tubing. The little gizmo I am making will go on the bottom of my sandblaster tank. It's about the size and shape of a propane tank on a BBQ grill. There is a tee on the bottom, but I am going to be using very fine abrasive. The air line splits before the tank, and one fork pressurizes the tank, and the other fork goes straight down to the tee. The tee acts like a carborator, mixing abrasive (which is pushed out by the pressure in the tank) with the air flow from the compressor. The tube is intended to keep the

I need to find some flared tubing. I don't need much, less than 3" I'm making a plumbing fixture for my sandblaster, and I need a short piece of pipe. The thing in the picture is the short flared pipe. It is actually the end of an automotive brake line tube. That's what I need, but I have no idea where to get such an animal. I think I would probably have to buy a large quantity if I went to an auto parts store. I just need a short section. Here's a picture:

I'd really like to go see ZZ Top, but spent all my concert money on tickets for Sir Paul. I'm gonna get to see 1/4 of the Beatles!

If you hold your breath until you turn blue, you get a blueberry.

Mayberries are our friends.

I'm pretty sure you're going to need to get a person to do that.

Scrubbed!

I give up. No grilling tonight. We've got about an inch of rain so far, and it's still coming down. We've got to scavenge something out of the freezer. Dang weather!!!!!

Sadly, Jimmy (Jack Wild) died a couple of years ago from throat cancer.

Well, if the thunder and lightining and rain will go away, I'm going to grill some pork tenderloin steaks. Rain, rain, go away. Come again another day! Water our yards, and gardens some. But wait until my dinner is done!

Hey Mike, Thanks for posting that vid of the Banana Splits! The shots of them riding in the log flume ride was done at Six Flags in Arlington Texas. The Kroft brothers, Sid and Marty, who I think were producers of the Banana Splits show, had a theater there. When I was a kid in Oklahoma, we used to go down to Arlington to visit Six Flags, and the Banana Splits characters would be walking around the park. They also always had great "puppet" shows at the Kroft Theater. That video brings back a lot of happy memories!

Tinkling??? Ummmmm....... :lol:

If that doesn't work for you, and you would like to have it sandblasted, shoot me a PM.

Take highway 61 south, until it dead ends. Turn left, then right at the first opportunity, which is just a little road that crosses the railroad tracks. Turn left again, and right at the light. Take that all the way to the intersection where CVS is on the left. The Chinese place will be just on the other side of that intersection on the right. We haven't been there yet, but I've heard it is really good.

We got a quarter inch. Not much, but better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.

Dang, you guys are old!!! I used to watch Dark Shadows when I was a kid. Anyone remember Johnny Quest, and Sky King?

Maybe it was a banner ad that broke down.

Is it just me, or is there a problem? And what's with the "topic has attachments" on many of the thread titles?

For a friend of mine, who needs a friend this weekend:

Did you say "Cannonball" ? How's about a nice Pina' Colada? Or, a rum and coke if you don't have any paper umbrella's.

I think it looks like the lesser of two weevils.

There used to be a helicopter airport in Hiram, but I haven't seen any chopper activity there in quite a while. Maybe because they are making a JC Penney out of it.
