Re: Replacement of Mouse Balls http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball .

If a mouse fails to operate or should it perform erratically, it may need a ball replacement. Mouse balls are now available as FRU http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FRU (Field Replacement Units). Because of the delicate nature of this procedure, replacement of mouse balls should only be attempted by properly trained personnel.

Before proceeding, determine the type of mouse balls by examining the underside of the mouse. Domestic balls will be larger and harder than foreign balls. Ball removal procedures differ depending upon the manufacturer of the mouse. Foreign balls can be replaced using the pop off method. Domestic balls are replaced by using the twist off method. Mouse balls are not usually static sensitive. However, excessive handling can result in sudden discharge http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discharge . Upon completion of ball replacement, the mouse may be used immediately.

It is recommended that each person have a pair of spare balls for maintaining optimum http://en.wikipedia....ki/optimization customer satisfaction. Any customer missing his balls should contact the local personnel in charge of removing and replacing these necessary items.

Please keep in mind that a customer without properly working balls is an unhappy customer.

Back by popular demand (imagined rather than real) is the amazing miracle of the buried sunflower seeds.

After days and days of hidden struggle two feeble little battered battlers have poked their tender tendrils through the earth's crust to boldly flout their first two leaves - regrettably one leaf immediately got devoured by Brian's terrorist cousin. They look a bit sickly.

The struggle of these little blighters is immense. Every one, a genuine bastard. I found some seeds in the garage and have no idea where they've come from or how many years old they are (therefore they are illegitimate). And anyway, it's too early to be planting sunflowers. We're still getting nights down to the frost fringe. This whole exercise was doomed to fail...and will over the next few days.

But not all is lost. I've also added a pic of some thriving weeds growing in the same garden. Immune from terrorist snails, frost hardy and nutrient efficient they are on their journey to flourish and dominate.

For all we know, they're ALL weeds?! Guess we'll have to WAIT and see.

I'm baaaa'aaack!

[Hapahowlee]

YAY Bouncer's back.

I thought I was gonna have to make that drive over to get ya!

Welcome back my friend.

[Scribbler]

Oh my god Nomis, (not that you're a god...heaven forbid..)

These constant updates on the growth of your Cannabis plants are tooooooo exciting, so stop it right now!!!

[Hapahowlee]

Cannabis ? Did I smell . . . or read Cannabis? Well, I suppose maybe Nomis should take over my position as Secretary of Agriculture. Looks like he has a huge lead on me.


Nomis, good for you. As long as you keep it boring, give us the updates.


Scribs, I know you're still hurting over poor little Brian, but time marches on. Well, I suppose in a snails case it slooooooooowly crawls on. I've just sent you a huge hug to help you during this time. Let me know when you get it. It still should be plenty hot.

[Scribbler]

WOW!!!... Hapa.... I'm on fire, someone send for the Fire Brigade.... Too Hot for me Hapa....

[Hapahowlee]

Scribs, you just do that to me. I can't help myself. Alright, now I have to blow a kiss your way to cool ya down some.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMWHA! There ya go. Now just settle down and you'll be alright.

Uh oh, I think we're getting too exciting here. Better bring it down some.

[Manda]

I'M SOOOOOOO BORED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What did the Big Chimney say to the Little Chimney?

[StellaLAtella]

I really should be in bed right now.........I have to be up and on the road in less than 8 hours........and you know I don't do mornings well.

Oh, and on another note, I am in the process of reading 2 different books.........

FOOD IN HISTORY

and

SEX IN HISTORY.................both by Reay Tannahill

and truthfully, neither are boring. they're actually quite insightful.

Oh yeah, and my 2 favorite subjects!

Scrib, why can't I be a god. Damn it man, I've got the beard and somewhere there's a white dressing gown. And by the time I've finished this rum and coke my halo will be glowing. I'm ready for it.

As for my cannabis plants, that makes life too exciting for this thread. If you're right, it's a whole new hybrid with smooth oval leaves. And I'm projecting the flowers will be huge. We could be on to a winner here. If you don't hear from me take it that I'm doing spiritual research.

Meantime, I'm asking myself what the small chimney said to the big chimney: Lady, you're stacked. What's it like in the big smoke? Is that a rifle in your pocket? Tell me again, if I have dirty thoughts I can be as big as you?

Just lie back and think of America....

[qbounce]

It's so much more enjoyable to think of a place I'm NOT in!!-lol

Although, I'm not unhappy being here either . . . asso!

[Scribbler]

I'm really bored, I really need to see how the 'weeds' are that Nomis is growing...

[nomis]

I can't "show" you how the weeds are doing. It's drizzling outside today and even for the excitement of it I'm not going to sit out there taking photos.

Being an experienced gardener of two years intermittent, casual interest I can call on that expert knowledge to feel confident that the gentle drizzle will slowly be drowning the weeds. So I'm expecting the weeds all to be dead when I check tomorrow and my plants will have flourished. In anticipation of this, I no longer qualify for this thread cos I'm so excited.

[Scribbler]

Nomis! Go directly to Jail, do not pass Go, do not collect 200 pound/dollars!!! That's for being soooooo boring...

[nomis]

But I haven't yet told my story of why I haven't yet measured the pH of the soil in my garden and it's a really interesting story that goes back many years to the time when I was still naive about such things that I bought a faulty pH gauge and I've still got it cos since I paid good cash for it I'm damned if I'm gonna throw it out just because it doesn't work. It still looks good with its numbers and pointer. I can still use it, you know, stick it in the ground , wait, then take a faulty reading. Do you think I should try it again even though I know it to be reading incorrectly? I could then give you a result which would seem plausible. But now that I've told you it's faulty you're not going to believe the reading I give you. So maybe I shouldn't take another reading just for you. What do you think?

[yokki]

I really should brush my teeth n go to bed

[Ches]

Do you use gloves in the garden Nomis? I wonder how many neighborhood cats have peed in your garden.

[nomis]

I've never thought to count the number of cats peeing in my garden. Maybe I should.
The disturbing thing about putting on gloves is not knowing who r what has been in them before. Just cos they come new in a packet doesn't mean some factory person hasn't soiled them in some perverse way. And once I'm wearing them I feel I'm vulnerable to accusations from my neighbours that I must be a pervert to be wearing rubber gloves. I think I'll stay with the ol'proven method of washing my hands after gardening - then manually wheel to the kitchen.

[Scribbler]

Nomis. Maybe you should also stop emptying your leg bag in the garden, it could ecourage Giant Snails who enjoy devouring humans who don't wear Rubber Gloves..

[nomis]

I'm not a bagman.

I P ISC (intermittent self catheter - this is the boring thread, isn't it).

New party food for snails - Slug Slam. Have you ever seen a snail with his-and-her toes pointing up into the air?

You can be so cruel Nomis, no wonder your not a God.....

[Hapahowlee]

I have a lizard tail that keeps moving, but I can find "Larry" anywhere

He has a nice tan, about 10 inches long . . . well only about 5 now, but answers to the name of Larry III.

He was stuck on this sticky pad the bug man left in my garage. Using my fingernails and some cooking oil, I finally released Larry from bondage, but he lept behind my winter screens in the garage, they fell down and as I tried to pick Larry up to take him outside, I realized it was just his tail . . . still moving, but no Larry.

Please contact Hapa with any information.

I just read three pages of the 'The Incredibly Boring Thread' ... 'nuff said. That's how boring my morning is ...

[qbounce]

Karen,
I sure hope your DAY was better than your MORNING!! As for lizzards . . . . I let a small bugger go outside when I caught him/her (who can tell??) in the living room a few weeks ago. Then, to my utter shock and disbelief another showed up in my bedroom about a week later.

Now, either the same guy/gal got back in to stay out of the heat, or a nest of eggs hatched somewhere in the house and I've yet to discover the rest of their kin. I'll stay abreast of the situation and be sure to post any further goings on in my lizzardatious quest for truth and the 5 degrees of seperation between.

What the hell am I saying??

[Scribbler]

Nomis probably ate Larry, you know how cruel he is after eating poor Brian........

I'm holding a special Remembrance Service, with a 2 minutes silence...


Its only because I've nothing else to do; its damn boring here today...
