Jack Spring punchings

[Annie Grieshop]

Ah, I like that!  Thanks, Dean.  I actually meant all of that as a joke, but
that's a great different perspective, and I appreciate it.

  I guess its all perspective. My take was that old grandmothers were so
wise that you had better know your stuff if you were going to try to tell
them anything or they'd show up your lack of knowledge.

  All the jack springs I've replaced have been glued in.  Often, the glue

  Otherwise, I pull out as much of the spring as possible, put a drop of
  water on the glue (and leftover wire, often), and go on to the next.  By
  the time I come back to it, the glue has softened, and I do a quick turn
  about the hole with a flat screwdriver blade to get out the wire and glue
  (and go on to the next).  By the time I've finished 'em all and come back
  again, it's dried out enough to put in a drop of fresh glue and a new
  spring.

  Maybe I'm just too accustomed to working on less-than-pristine PSOs....

  Dang, this quote manages to insult the intelligence of both women AND the
  elderly, all in one fell swoop.  The Albert sure was an efficient guy.  Or

  Hi Annie,

  Here's another for you from ol' Albert, maybe it's not as insulting?



  Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit
with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. THAT'S
