Will the stock market rally again on Monday? If I'm gonna split a 401K roll-over and buy some mutuals in a plan I'll later be able to add to and some stock in a self-directed IRA that I will NOT be able to add pre-tax dollars to in the future, what percentage of total roll-over should go into plan??? (Stocks are down...good time to buy!)

Hmmmmm????


Ummmm....what???

Okay, here's a good one...
How do I get a stripped screw out of a recessed plastic hole? I am FRUSTRATED! Can't drill it out without ruining the plastic cover piece and can't pry the two pieces apart because even if you get them apart, the screw is still lodged through a hole in a metal plate inside.

HELP!


My best suggestion....

Find a screw slightly smaller than the one you are trying to remove, that has left handed threads.

Screw the left handed thread screw into the top of the one you are trying to remove. That should ( once the left handed screw grabs a grip on the stuck screw ) draw the regular, stripped out scrrew out of it's hidey hole.

That's actually pretty interesting...not nearly as much fun as hearing you just make stuff up off the cuff, but it IS a good story all on its own flowerforyou

3M was founded in 1902 at the Lake Superior town of Two Harbors, Minn. Five businessmen set out to mine a mineral deposit for grinding-wheel abrasives. But the deposits proved to be of little value, and the new Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Co. quickly moved to nearby Duluth to focus on sandpaper products.

That would be a very good question.

I guess they just use a compressor and vacuum system.

Much more fun! Even if you did copy/paste it from somewhere online that I could have checked out myself. But hey...I have the wise-one almost at the snap of a finger, so I like picking his brain? Who can blame me???

Sorry. I am not feeling all that great ( all these changes in the weather are killing me ) and my mind isn't running as crisply as usual.

Figured I would just find the facts this time..lol

Nahhhh.

I have been thinking about getting a guitar to mess with, but I was never able to figure out how to read sheet music.
