Ahem...you mean over there---->

I was watching NCIS and Dinozzo freaked out when one of those flat robot vacuum cleaner things circled out from under a couch. It goes and goes and goes, hits something and turns and goes another direction.

I have hardwood floor that breed dust over night , and of course there are the two fuzzy furpurrs that fly around the house.

Does anyone have one? Know someone that has one? It might drive my two cats up the their cat trees all day though.

I DO Want that hammer...

I am ready to purchase a Kindle (sp?) but am reading about the one Sony put out for much less, difference is that the Kindle seems to have wifi, and the Sony version is similar to my Ipod, just plug and download... would love to hear from people who have both and their opinions before I buy one.

I have seen the Sony ads recently, and know the Kindle has been out a while.

and Amazon.com has it on a lot of the Book Pages.

..Don't have either one. My girl reads to me , and I don't have to worry about her being charged. She is always on..

Barnes and Nobles has one too... have you seen it?

Every gadget I've acquired has become lost at some point, except for my trusty mini Swiss army knife. It gets used nearly every day. Hope I don't lose it but now I've probably cursed it, dammit.

JustLovelyJenn · 11-14-2009, 02:41 AM

My dad has some sort of odd obsession with having tools he never uses... so I just use them when hes not looking. *bats eyelashes*

but honestly... my "i just cant live without" things are still duct tape and zip ties... *shrugs*

Jess · 11-14-2009, 07:07 AM

I love the micro hook! I must have one and be apexy cool too now!
Yes, that's the hammerhead Jack! < insert lil MC Hammerhead dance here>
They also have a pretty snazzy multi-tool that has attachments for cutting stuff etc.
My newest obsession is a sliding double compound miter saw. No more flipping the crown to get the right cuts! Although the missy elliot song about crown molding was hot.."put the crown down flip it and reverse it ".. That WAS about home repair wasn't it? It's got a great beat and I can dance to it!

The gadgets in "another thread" can also be found at homo depot. The plumbing section has a wonderful little "funny pipe" as I recall.

Keep the gadgets coming!

My Ex and her partner went to Switzerland last year, and bought me a wonderful Swiss Army Knife. It remains wonderful, as I can't figure how the hecka to open it.

Darth Denkay · 11-14-2009, 12:13 PM

So, anyone who knows me knows that I believe if you can't do it with a swiss army knife then you don't need to do it. I've got 91 of them (and 1 ordered). I've always got 2 or 3 on me and they get used every single day.

Hey I'mOneToo! I so agree with you! The nice thing is that they're easy to replace. And hey, then you'd have an excuse to buy another one!

Hey Tommi!
If you haven't tried oiling it that might help. Another option is that swiss army guarantees their knives for life. Any thing wrong, including stuff like broken blades from extreme use, they fix for no charge. All you pay is the postage to get it there, they cover postage back to you. Let me know if you want me to track down that info. By the way, what model do you have?

Everyone who ever wanted to be Batman needs one of those grappling hooks *eyebrow waggle* Gryph was practically salivating--I didn't dare play the video! lol!

I'mOneToo · 11-14-2009, 06:26 PM

ah Warrick this knife has *sentimental value* a gift from someone, and if it was lost another wouldn't be the same.
(but I'd still need another one!)

It's easy to operate Tommi, just pull on the side where the little dips are. Unless it's a full-size unit, that I can't help you with. The oil, yeah, what Warrick said.

Darth Denkay · 11-14-2009, 10:15 PM

Hi I'mOneToo,

I do understand about sentimental value. Most of the knives in my collection could be replaced, but, similar to you, there are a few that couldn't be.But ah, I do love my knives!

Wow, and I thought I was long-winded...

Seriously though, true story. My girlfriend and I were going to a fundraiser event that formal, so we were all dressed to the 9s. We're walking toward the building and the other femme (not my girlfriend) stumbles and loses her shoe. One of the straps had torn from the sole. Swiss army knife to the rescue! I pulled out my pin and repaired her show. Truly she had to cautious as it certainly wasn't a permanent fix but it got her through the night!
