Excess coffee cups received as gifts work too.
- Comment on The driver for my mouse occupies over 1 gb 6 days ago:
It is either a type of rubberized material degrading or one piece of plastic in the group. Being a home-labber/gamer I have gone through a couple hundred mice easily. In addition to Logitech, I’ve had lots of stock MS/Dell/HP and even Sun mice. A few can get this condition with the materials. Often it will be a rubberized component, but sometimes it is a plastic part. Like the mouse wheel is a more common part that gets sticky, but the rest of the mouse is okay. Nothing happened other than it sat around for a long time. It could be that the last user had grubby fingers stained orange from cheetos whilst using that mouse and that lent somehow to the degradation. Hard to say. Plastic does degrade for sure and maybe our grubby mitts help?
- Comment on I dont need to camp, I am homeless enough already. 1 week ago:
One year whilst out group camping, one of the campers awoke in the middle of the night to relieve himself. He was still very drunk from the previous evening’s festivities and thought the opening of the tent was right there. Well, it was the *new * opening for sure now.

That’s all perfectly cromulent, but just keep in mind fleaBay has its issues as well. One must be ever diligent whilst shopping online. And it’s getting worse.

Chase is an awful bank so be ready to fight them too. I am still upset about the money they siphoned from my account after taking over a regional bank here. I would change banks when you are able to. I wish you good fortunes.

Also ensure the previous gasket has left the scene as you only want one and for the love of Pete, DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN the filter!!!
Hand tight and just a smidge more. That’s it.

- Comment on I need a cheap part to fix a bread machine that's under warranty. "We can send you a new machine." 2 months ago:
older vacs is that they tend to use disposable bags
Yes. I have emptied many disposable bags and kept on using them. Takes five or ten minutes and is a filthy job (don’t rip it!), but quicker than chasing down more bags.

I’ll bet you could use some type of modern sealant to make a “rubber” gasket. Spooge it out onto a glass or stainless surface, shape it and let it dry. Trim to fit and viola. Bob’s your auntie.
In light of the hard times coming down the pike, we’ll all need to be more resourceful with mending and maintaining all the products that were planned to be scrap after one year (or warranty expiration).

With the lights off and playing alone that game was unnerving. I don’t think I ever finished it.
