I did ask about the Doggie Dooley. We haven't tried it yet and if I can stop with my yarn addiction, we will have one soon! LOL
Big puppy? LOLOLOL - Our giant schnauzer, Samson, weighs in at 114lbs. Only 7lbs more than the lovely young woman who groomed him while he and the two minis were at "puppy camp" over the holidays! She wasn't happy that he wanted to sit in her lap while she trimmed his toenails! Speaking of pet toes... the PediPaws, IMO, is a joke and $20 wasted. Quote:

Cool Christmas gadget.. 19 v cordless drill and right angle drill set... Zippy enough to do some pretty heavy duty work and the right angle drill makes hard to reach areas a snap. Had to bore some holes through cabinets to install new lighting and a reg drill just wouldn't cut it ( insert obvious pun scoff here!).
RE: wireless internet radio.. ENVYENVYENVY!!! We can get internet radio through Rhapsody on Tivo and Pandora with the blu-ray player.. but wireless anything makes me drool! Wires/ cords are the bane of my existence! Any way I can find to hide them until the world catches up to total wireless-ness is an ongoing challenge. Suggestions welcome!!! Re : Doggy Dooley... Not only do we have Sammy the hefty poop machine, but we have the two minis also who hold their weight in the poop manufacturing dept. We are looking at 2 Dooleys for separate areas of yard. I think once a weekly schedule is in place to add the "digester" it should be very helpful. I will make sure to make myself a flag lest I have the tragic mowing accident mentioned earlier in the thread! LOL Anyone used the ergonomic crochet needles? Looking at getting the girl a set as she is having some issues with possible carpel tunnel/ tendonitis. Between computer work and her crocheting hobby she seems to hurt a lot. Wondering if anyone has used/ can recommend them.. or brand specific? Happy gadgeting! |

Almost everything is becoming wireless. Hint: If you have wireless B or G - upgrade to N. More stable and capable of handling a wireless home. I want to free our house of wires too - in fact, I almost bought Mare a wireless printer - but I bought so many gadgets for Her this Christmas, I didn't want to "overdo".... (but She still may get one soon enough...) Awesome when you have more than one computer and don't want to mess with switching cables or buying an A/B switch - and you can put it anywhere in the house. No more printer cable "leashes".

Hi Jess! Sammy the hefty poop machine, lol!!! Oh my... I live in fear that Trooper will never stop growing. He has the potential to hit 100 pounds, yanno? Yikes...
Nick bought ergonomic crochet hooks, I will ask him about them. In the meantime, exercises might help a lot with the CTS. The simplest one of all is to hold your right hand out in front of you, elbow straight, as if you were a traffic cop. With the other hand, bend back each finger in turn and hold for a few seconds. Remember to do your thumb, also. Never go to the point of actual pain! Just pull till you feel the stretch. Then repeat on your left hand. If you do this repeatedly during the day, it may help a lot. Also, with CTS, it's very important to keep the fingers extended while you sleep. People quite often naturally curl the fingers under, but that increases swelling inside the carpal tunnels and puts additional pressure on the nerves. It might help to sleep in wrist braces for a while. The kind to get are the "cock-up wrist braces" (usually with a metal piece in the palm) as they keep the wrist in a neutral position. *enjoy any double entendres at your leisure* |

Has anyone had the chance to play with a Black & Decker Ready Wrench yet? I'm thinking about getting one for Ryan. He thinks he might like it, since it's a manual change over for the different sizes but we haven't known anyone who has had a chance to work with one to be sure.

It also negates the probability that I will break a nail while trying to pry the sockets out of their holders. That. Would. Be. Bad. Christie |

Hey Jess--I asked Nick; he says the ergonomic crochet hooks make it possible for him to hold the hook more loosely, and he thinks they're worth the price.
