Thread: I've been screwed

It's OK to find humor in these situations. You know if you can't laugh at yourself at times like these your way too serious.

Hell with surgery, get one of those power magnets from Harbor Freight and steer it toward an opening.

Well it seems that with a strong enough magnet it would 'slightly' be effected but not much. No I'm no scientist, but this is a cool video with a simple explanation (well kind of) of how even aluminum can affect a magnet.

I worked at a recycling place that had a Eddie current system. Very large earth magnets. A conveyor belt carried things (small metal of all kinds along with dirt and foam rubber etc.) and basically threw this stuff over the magnet at a speed that the non metal things went farther than the metal. some how the magnet slowed the metal down enough to separate it from the other stuff. I really can't explain it to well but if you could see it in action you could under stand. I wonder if that is what got this whole thing started. This is the second one to come out.

Sorry you're having such a rough go of it, rhensley. Yep, gotta find the funny bone in situations like these. It's in there, somewhere.

A few years ago when Scott had already finished chemo and was recuperating from major abdominal surgery, he went to the doc to get his PEG tube taken out. They weren't sure if they had the right tool to remove it, so they rescheduled him. Scott, being the person he is, decided he could remove it himself with a generic syringe if he had an extra pair of hands...

Picture, if you can, Scott seated in an office chair staring at the ceiling of the grindhouse, Hunter standing over him gloved up with sterile bandages on standby, as Scott syringes himself and they pull the PEG tube out together. *spurt*

Those were good times

That would be a sight to see.

Finally a diagnosis to what we all have thought! "A screw loose!"

That's what the wife has said all these years and now there's proof.

I'm officially UN- screwed.
