Traffic light parking assistant
Ah yes, the Tennis Ball Parking Assistant (TBPA)! In fact, Sarah suggested I devote my energy to one of those. I feel the TBPAs have far too few Blinkenlights!

Craigslist scam baiting, part 3
Good luck! Why are you looking for the scammer?

Bummer, Stan. Sorry you got scammed! Better luck next time.

The funny irony here, Edmund, is that you are possibly a human spammer. So, as admin, I have removed your link. Good day.

Nah. I didn’t have the energy after the long exchange. Instead, I just report their abuse to their email provider. That usually gets the email account shut down.

If you help me with the second story addition, I’ll help you with your swamp cooler! 🙂

We’re due first week of Jan — any day though really. I think we’re ready, but I’m sure we’ve forgotten some things. 🙂

MX Revolution USB mouse repair
Hey there, I’ve removed your email so you don’t get spammed. I’ll put you in touch with Peter.

Peter, I could put you in touch with the other people that have commented here. Maybe they would be interested in helping you out.

Sorry for the delay, Jackie. If I remember right, there were either no screws (just glue), or maybe one on the underside. Refer to my picture number 10 of 15. Hope that helps!

Sorry, Mr. Z80, I’m not understanding.

Good question, Anders. Sounds like one or both of the cables of the scroll wheel are still unplugged. There’s are two little data cables on it that plug into the main board. Check out the image above labeled “wheel assembly”.

Hi, Pamifi. You’ve got an interesting mod idea, but a tough one to implement. The microcontroller in the Revolution mouse (AVR, if I remember) is programmed for wireless transactions. I have a pretty strong feeling that if you were to solder a USB cable to the USB data lines inside the mouse, the microcontroller would probably error out when it received no successful wireless packets.
Sorry! Maybe get a more complete Revolution? Hey, if you’re interested, I might want to part with mine. I just upgraded to an Apply Magic Mouse and have retired my Revolution. Still works fine.

Correct, Z80user. 32.768KHz. Sorry, I left out that detail. Do you need help with the rework?

I give solos all the time! (accidental, that is)

(how about this timely rebuttal?!)
I don’t know man, it seems to me like you want it both ways. You say that you’re not disagreeing with me, but then earlier you say:
The Bible does make it clear who the spiritual leader in the home needs to be.
I’m talking about a man who will not except mediocrity within his family when it comes to the spiritual things of God. I think there are a lot of women who crave those types of leadership actions from their men and don’t get it.
And I don’t completely agree with those statements. The examples I raised about husbands being dictators is only one area where hierarchy of marriage roles empowers that kind of behavior. There’s another area, that of women leadership in churches that is unmistakably affected by the traditional patriarchy of the evangelical church.
I think it’s great that you have never been exposed to that kind of teaching. I find it surprising, since it seems to be the norm.

I wasn’t referring exclusively to totalitarian relationships either. Patriarchy is simply defined as:
“A social system in which the father is head of the household, having authority over women and children.”
That’s classical headship/submission theology. Now I don’t doubt that there is a spectrum of headship beliefs (some more egalitarian than others), but my use of the term “patriarchal” is pretty consistent with the mainline church.
I have trouble with this definition and the supposed “third priesthood” concept. Why am I the gateway for Sarah to get to God? Because I’m male? That implies that she is inferior from birth.
Why can’t a wife also “make sure (her) family is in a solid Bible believing church on a weekly basis”? Why can’t she also teach her kids about Christ? And she can certainly also help her family rise above mediocrity. Why must these traits be reserved for men?
I don’t doubt that the two family examples you gave would have been better had the men been more spiritually active. But the same could be said about families where the wives were spiritually lethargic.
I’m simply saying that a spiritually vibrant marriage could work with both spouses equally involved, and not require a hierarchy of roles.

It’s also the case that “really rotten things happen in marriages” where men abuse their patriarchal authority. I’m not convinced there is a biblical mandate for patriarchy.
This is a good article on the subject. So is this.

Excellent thoughts, Julie. You mention James being a crier (me too, buddy!). There was a time when that would be too “feminized” of him. So you have to admit that this whole notion of “feminized men” doesn’t have much meaning unless you’re talking about men literally wearing womens’ clothing. If you want to talk about buzz words, that’s one that the modern church loves.

That’s because it’s hard to put one’s finger on a definition. That’s too easy, really, to define it. Both sexes could probably agree on “What is humanity?” But it always gets fuzzy when we define our gender in terms of differentiating from the other gender. I’m simply asking, “Why do that?” Seriously, what’s the point?
Yes, men are different from women in fundamental ways. Organs, hormones, BMI. But when you start to categorize habits, interests, and roles… it’s not so easy. I don’t think there’s any value added to either side when we do the latter.

The way men talk to each other
Julie, thanks for your thoughtful response! I’m writing up a response soon.

Actually, Sarah probably doesn’t know that many details. This is why she needs to watch the series with me!

I have OCD… not the one you’re thinking
The knee is good. I’m off my crutches already. I’ll be back to volleyball soon I hope!

No, Mark, I wasn’t faking it, if that’s what you’re implying.

Sorry about that, Richard. I’ve fixed my picture formatting now, so you should be able to read the descriptions. The transformer was dead, so I replaced it.

Not sure where you can find them, James. I used widely available steel angle iron and cut out notches for the door latches. You can pick up cheap angle iron from metal shops.

We bought from a local cabinet shop. They took pretty good care of us. The kitchen is so much more usable now.
