quote:Good advice. But, it seems that good advice is usually easier to give than to follow (that's not advice, just an observation).
"To deal with the unexpected in life, you have to be able to turn on a dime and make change."
Saw this somewhere and thought it was really worth repeating!

quote:I haven’t found a good coin tool for Phillip head screws. Based on the name, one would think that a quarter would be ideal, but not to be. But, I have found that dimes work just as well, if not better, on metric screws.
Dimes make great screwdrivers when you're too lazy to go find the tool box.

I keep forgetting this forum is multibased!!
quote:Since you’re on a roll, how about a description of a silver dollar, 50-cent piece, two bits, and a Susan B. Anthony. Don’t know what they call the current dollar coin, and not sure the two-dollar bill is still in circulation (I don’t think it was politically correct).
Jabber, very clear discription!
quote:That was a very dangerous practice and burned many houses down!
and they can also be used in old fuse boxes to keep the connection going
quote:Nickelodeons?
Now I need to think of a good use for nickels (5 cent pieces).
quote:“Golden” versus “gold”. Good marketing. Never heard of a silveren coin.

quote:Can you imagine trying to pay a restaurant using a sheet of $2 bills? How would you give them $10? Clip them out like coupons? If the charge was $60, would you give them the entire sheet, and what would they give you in return? A $4 bill? I guess a $1 tip would be clipping a bill in half.
The current series of $2 bill is 2003. You can order uncut sheets of 32 bills from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.

(kidding)quote:That would be the firing squad home starter kit. Still looking for hanging, lethal injection, and guillotine method for home use. There’s also the much slower method of listening to rap music, but Amnesty Internation would probably consider that a war crime.

It is amazing how a term came to be coined because of a non-functioning 'c' key!
"rap" = "war rime"?? quote:

If that's the case, I'd have to agree.

quote:I wonder who would get sued when that happened? If the fuse box didn’t contain a warning, then perhaps the fuse box manufacturer. The bullet manufacturer might also be “responsible”. If the prior homeowner had 22 shrapnel injury, then perhaps they would be at fault. I guess this isn’t as much of an issue now that circuit breakers are used.
If you're going to get hurt, it will likely be a shrapnel injury from the casing.
quote:I did hear about that. May be another urban legend. The version I heard was that there were two guys (same mower, hedge and time). Either way, sad, sad.
Rumor has it a man once sued and won because a lawn mower manufacturer didn't tell him he couldn't trim the hedges with it.
