    The light at the end of the tunnel

    With the market in the shape it is in, I have sold my portfolio and re-invested in GERN stock. It has consistently performed 3% better than others, and has really neat plaid stock certificates. Incidentally, if we apply GERN flux to the light, it will be either 3% brighter (or darker)!

    A Problem That is Becoming Magnified

    So THAT is why I keep getting blisters on the end of my nose!sign1 That is the biggest reason for using a desk mount magnifier instead of the kind you can wear - it keeps a lens between you and the soldering iron!

    A Problem That is Becoming Magnified

    I can sympathize with your dilemma, having had cataract surgery a couple of years ago. I tried reading glasses, but even with 6 pairs, I could never find where I put them! I now wear bifocals again (the upper parts being clear glass), and I have a pair of glasses that would be considered the...

    The light at the end of the tunnel

    After following this post, I have realized that it is time for me to take my Prozac, put on my strait jacket and go into a quiet room and listen to the voices!

    The light at the end of the tunnel

    The problem seems to be without a solution. OSHA prohibits electrical work in damp locations and the SPCA and PITA reportedly are seeking an injunction to stop any proposed work because of the adverse impact on the rats. When the Senate proposed referral to a committee for investigation, it...

    Congrats, Mikey! Even the rookies like me appreciate your efforts - and a particular thanks for all your work in getting the chat room working properly. I know you spent a lot of time on that - and no credit for posts on that effort!

    What's going on?

    Mikey, this is the page in question: http://www.zealot.com/index.php?page=the-gauge.com It lists all the threads that have new posts - we used to be able to click on the thread title to read it - now when we click on any thread title, it takes us to the forum listing page. Thanks for your help

    What's going on?

    I am having the same problem. There are also problems with the chat room. The administrators say that some major fixes will be in place by mid-week. So, I guess we can live with this till then. In the meantime, the only way I can open threads is to check which forum they are in, go to that...

    Chat Room

    The chat room is having problems again - when someone types a response and sends it, better than half the time it goes off into cyberspace never to be seen again! This makes conversation very difficult, but I guess it does improve the typing skills by providing more practice. Also, today when...

    Chat Room

    That is the one I have been trying - still shows me as signed in - the same as it was a few weeks ago.

    Chat Room

    I haven't been able to get into the chat room since the change in ownership took place. It still shows me as being signed in, so I can't check in. The old chat room was in use for a while after that, but now evidently, everyone is using the new room. Any suggestions?

    Pics from Baltimore

    Great pictures! I get out to the Baltimore area at least once a year - the B & O museum is a must see every year. I have a 5 year old grandson there that would live at the museum if he could! It really is a great place and they have made great progress since the roof collapse. It sure is an...

    Chat Room Link

    As long as we know that someone is working on it, we can all hang in there and wait. When it works, the new room is a big improvement over the old one. In spite of the complaints, I hope the administrators realize that we really do appreciate all their efforts to get things resolved. Thanks, guys!

    Chat Room Link

    Even after the new upload, I still can't get into the chat room. No changes have been made to my computer, and I had no problem logging in until the change in ownership. It still tells me that someone is logged in to the room with the same name. Running Firefox in XP mode, or using IE explorer...

    Chat Room Link

    Have tried changing the last number and still no luck - do I have to change my name to get back in there?

    Chat Room Link

    I assume the chat room is also undergoing growing pains. When I try to check in there, it tells me that someone with the same username is already signed in! I logged out the last time I was there, so something is amiss! Any suggestions?

    Confessions of an Engine Illitererate

    I don't know how I missed this thread earlier. I can identify with Clark - I can identify steamers, but diesels have always fallen into two categories for me - old ones and new ones. I never really worried about identifying diesels, because I model steam. I do have one VO-1000 switcher - I...
