I made an appointment with my doctor tomorrow, and I had to fill out many online forms. It took me twelve minutes to give them all the information that they already have. This has gotten to be standard operating procedure since doctors have become part of huge conglomerates. I had to sign my name four times using my mouse, and that was not exactly my official signature. It will be interesting to see how they can make the process worse in the future.


I have experience the same frustration with my Dr. app notifications. Been there once and did all that they had asked of me including taking pictures of my insurance cards front and back and attach them to the fill in pages.
I stopped doing that in the three follow up appointments, I stopped at the check in window and told them I already filled in there forms, look it up. I am NOT doing that again and again. There only follow up was that it is there policy and that the card MIGHT have changed as of the first of the year because you were forced to change insurance coverage or companies.

Another excellent set, Dean! The first is outstanding. The last is a good still life, but the polish does not match the shoes.


Thanks for the download! I still polish my shoes and use all those products. My dad was a shoe repairman and I spent many an hour saving other's shoes. I have my own polish wheels from my dad's equipment when all got sold. I wish I could have gotten the leather sewing treadle machine. Thanks for the picture even if the polish did not match the shoe color.

Flying broke my pocket knife habit.


I was flying back from Colorado and forgot to take the knife out of my pocket. They gave me a choice, loose it to the box or leave the line and find the mailer kiosk a mail it to my house. Yes choice 2. I made it back for the inspection and on the plane. I loved that knife and was NOT going to give it away. 15 years and I still use it. Now I carry a Leatherman, I would not use a knife that doesn't have a locking blade. I want to get my grandson a Leatherman for his EAGLE Scout court of honor.

Yeah, I've never understood why they need to advertise drugs to the general public like they do, especially when they can't be obtained without a doctor's script. Seems like they could save a lot of money and possibly mYourake these new drugs more affordable without all the ads. As an example, they put me on Farxiga last year and my co-pay was $300.00, but to make it even worse, they charged my insurance something like $2500.00 for each refill and that put my into the gap coverage level in just a few months and I had to pay more for every script after that, most of which I was getting with no co-pay whatsoever. Man, what a racket!

Your Doc should have given you a form to get this for FREE if you qualify for the income limit. Filled out the form for my wife and gave back to Doc to fax in with his prescription. Company took two weeks to set up our free delivery every month directly to our home address. My insurance plan would have made my co-pay $47.50 a month and yes this would have caused my gap coverage to fill up quickly. Check with your Doc.

Be VERY careful about using Unsubscribe. Many times this method is used by the bad guys to determine that yours is a "live" address and it can open you up to many more unwanted emails!!


This person is already on the Ad list. It is not a phishing Ad. Get off their list.

I wonder if she starts smearing that stuff in her cracks and crevices before smearing on the rest of her body. I am pretty sure that in one of her commercials, she states that she is a doctor. How did someone with such an apparently low IQ get to be a doctor? Very irritating commercials!! The "Balance of Nature" commercials are just as bad. You have all of your fruits and veggies in bottle. People are pouring out a handful of capsules and gulping them down. It must cost them a small fortune. And how about the Huckabee commercials? We are supposed to be super-impressed by this "former presidential candidate" and buy all of the products that he endorses. Well, there is my rant for the day!!!

And EVERY commercial has a dancing person or a whole troupe dancing in the street. Who knows what they are selling if your trying to watch and Listen to the terrible music they are playing. Don't get me started on the opera music or holding your throat because it hurts.

Man, these folks are spending a huge amount of money on ads! You can hardly watch TV without one of their ads coming up in just about every break and I get at least 20 to 30 e-mail ads a week as well. Now they have even re-branded the product to pull in male customers by calling it "Mando." Personally, I would rather stink than buy this product due to all the annoying ads! Just wondering if anyone else here is sick of hearing about it as well and needed to vent a bit. Good luck and good photography to all.

Simple---Click UNSUBSCRIBE on the emails. At some point you ordered a product or sent them an email or as anybody else would say one of your companies has been paid for your email address. Such is life on the internet today.

One of two options
1) glue something on the bottom of the battery gently pull it out
2) drill a small hole in the battery screw a screw in gently pull the battery out
Chances are the battery has swelled up and the spring is not strong enough to push the battery out
Good luck


I would attach a slide puller to the screw head to get leverage and keep pulling it out of the camera

I had my laptop repaired and they returned it to factory condition so I have to reinstall everything. It took a few hours to get it back to Win11 (they returned it to Win10 which it came with) and then took me few more hours to install the few software that require licensing. Then I installed the most often used programs. The rest I install whenever I want something to do or when I need to use them.


You did not inform us as to the corruption. What caused it, can you stop it from happening again? Where you able to reinstall from your back ups or from each of the vendors with your copy of the licenses.
Non tech minds need to know.

Why bring up airborne contaminants in vapor form? Adds nothing to the discussion. I agree that proper use and fitting of masks is very important. But improper use by some does not invalidate the mask-wearing benefits to those that do handle them properly.

Do you wear a mask when doing large wood sanding projects?


Yes ANY dark colored wood will require a mask. Redwood, mahogany, teak, purple heartwood, walnut all require a mask to keep the dust out of your lungs. Cancer is worse than c***d.

I have an original Crescent wrench from the 1800s in my tool collection. It looks like a pipe wrench, not like what we call a crescent wrench today. Back then its tech. name was "adjustable spanner wrench". The handle had the thread serrations not the moving jaw like the pipe wrench of today.


Picture PLease!

In my youth I was instructed that a Stillson Wrench always had taped jaws and teeth to grip a pope. While a Monkey wench was used on the collar of pipe fittings and was even across it's mouth and had no teeth to grab at the fitting as this was not necessary, and only did damage to the fitting of a pipe.

In addition, when working with a Stillson Wrench, one could take a larger pipe and slide it on to a pipe so that one could break the tightened fit of a pope that has become locked to another. Further, this ia called a cheater and should never use a cheater on a fitting because it will most likely break the fitting or damage it so that later the fitting will break.

I have found these to be true observations when working with popes in general and especially large steel pipes.

I hear workers who use wood and contraction activities call both corded and cordless power tools a drill. When in fact the name for the tool is a hole shooter. In addition, I have a Saws All, which is a reciprocating saw, that is made by Milwaukee ONLY, it is a trade name of their reciprocating saw. Many makers make reciprocating saws but Milwaukee only make a saws all. Years ago, a company that made facial tissue and called it Kleenex. Kleenex WAS a trade name, but they failed to control the name and so into the common lexicon the name Kleenex became legally associated with facile tissue. The name saws all is the legal patented name for Milwaukee's recuperating saw.

Stillson is the registered name of a type of wrench, not all pipe fitting wrenches are the same.

What is this "popes" you refer to??

I read all the posts. I joined because I have used cameras for yearsss. Kodak brownie, Argus C3, Nikon-90, Nikon 3200, Nikon 5300 and now a Nikon 7200. Most used from KEH. Now I have focused on used lenses. I read most posts that focus on post processing programs. I use Corel PSP 23 and Affinity. From the posts I read about computer problems and the fixes they offer. They knowledge from this forum is invaluable. Since I retired from teaching in 2004, this is a place that keeps me informed. Keep this forum informed and lively.

I use a BW laser printer from Brother. I have used a local guy to refill my cartridges but this company is better.
