Some people just like to throw their weight around eh Joules?  He he he

Hey good afternoon Joules.  A great day here at the coast.  You simply must come visit some time.  I just manicured some trails and with the fall sunshine pouring in it is berutiful.

Hope you get over that runny nose soon, sniff sniffle.

 I am wondering is there any movies or books about androgynes? Can't find any.    Would love to see/read them.

Joules I agree that cars are a huge headache.  When I worked in Ptown I rode a Bike-E (recumbent) around exclusively.  They start every time;-)  Of course my motor is a bit less powerful these days.

But ya, cars do occasional suck at the worst moments.  I was up in Seattle last week and pulled into the front entry of the hotel where my car promptly died.  I am also occasionally seen pushing my old hippie VW van down the street here.  Not as much fun in a dress!

Keep on truckin!

The legs work amazingly well for some things too Taka.  If you have a cross bar tire wrench, push on one end with one leg, while hooking the toes of your other foot under the opposite end.  Watch out for cramps though.  I have a strong frame, not yet affected by HRT, and I've found a few lug nuts that needed the size 13 adjustment tool from time to time.  A hip check from the 300 pound behind works for budging hard-to-move items as well.

i tried standing pushing on one end with my foot and pulling the other end with my hands. i'd even try standing on it with both feet if there were place for both on one end. i think that worked last year.

I just went to an auction at my rehab place and spent money I don't have. I  did get a hutch that I really can use though. I am making some long term plans for the future again and my outlook on the future has picked up tremendously  now that I can walk decently and I think I see a little light up ahead. I could be seeing things though.

Movies? Probably not. With books your best bet is probably in YA. There are lists out there that are easy enough to find with a google search.

Many types of staples.

Many types of staplers. And in different colors sometimes.
A veritable cornucopia of them. *Did I say that right?

Yup perfectly

Was it a left-hand thread or a right-hand thread?  Were you going clockwise or counter clock wise?

let's try with "the right way"?
i did get one screw loose. the others wouldn't budge at all. i suppose i should go the same way on all screws on the same tire...? if i remember right, it would be counterclockwise. unless you didn't spell tread wrong, because then i have no idea what you're asking about.

99.9% of all threaded fasteners in the world are referred to as a right-hand thread.  The term comes from Physics, where the "right-hand rule" refers to the interplay of force vectors  (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-hand_rule).  For a right hand thread, the correct direction of loosening is counter clockwise.  A simple mnemonic is "righty tighty, lefty loosey".  there are a very few instances where fasteners will be made with a left hand thread, and everything is reversed,i.e., "righty loosey, lefty tighty".  They are rare but unfortunately one of the places where they are found occasionally is on lug nuts.  Yeah I know, what could be a worse place for them?  Often, in the case of larger studs, the letters "LH" will be stamped on the exposed end of the stud.

So does that mean that they are 99.9% left handed in Australia?
Doesn't things like water going down a drain go the other way than in the right side up parts of the world?

you sure is taking this seriously, joules.
i never learned any of this stuff in english, so when you start using too technical words, i start wondering how you thread a needle any clockwise... but now i get it, i think. my car sticks to the 99,9% on both sides. right-hand thread, you said?. never needed to learn odd phrases to remember what is the right way. it happens i confuse myself when i use my left hand, but i use both when changing tires.

but, for some fun. here's a pretty nice manga page. the guy has just found out that the other best friend he has is also not a guy like he thought, but he accepts it pretty well.

Taka, your english is probably better than mine, so I was wondering if it was just misspellings.
I forget that you're in Norway, all the time. I think you got it now, with the threads.

Our slang must be difficult sometimes. It's regional here, so sometimes I don't get what people write.
Google search. I use it to figure out a lot of things, especially those things I've forgotten over the years.
Ativan

rather than slang, i think it must be on the level of trannies. i'd never have known what those are if i didn't read someone's explanation. i didn't grow up in a garage, so i don't even know what most things are called in norwegian... still, both my mom and grandma were diy persons, and it seems i took over that role a few year ago. whenever something other than an engine needs to be fixed, i'm the one they'll call.
