Doohickey Recommendation.....

This is a 1st, me recommending an actual thigamabob!
As I've pointed out ad-nauseum, I have Neuropathy. One of it's many side effects is a marked decrease in dexterity and one of my less fav chores every AM is dealing with coffee filters.For a while we'd switched to the permanent kind but found that after a while, even with frequent dishwasher washings they built up deposits and the next thing you noticed was coffee all over the counter(usual precieded by grounds in your cup).
Well, last week after a particularly annoying attemt to get a single filter out and usable I did a search for some sort of coffee filter dispenser and got a "hit" for "Mac's Coffee Helper". The discription of a dispenser that gave you a single filter each time for about $6.00 seemed worth a try....and boy-howdy was it worth it!
It's just a white plastic container with a spring-loaded spear with a bit of that foam tape you use to put up posters(in fact, they even tell you when it doesn't work anymore just to buy a pack of those;>!). It's one of those "Why didn't I think of that!" ideas we all deal with.
Simple, cheap, useful and made in America. I wholely recommend this doohickey, even for those without dexterity "issues"....

Minor Rant.....

Yes, I'm your friend. I've Listened to you for a long time and Honestly am probably the only friend you have left who will BUT:
It's time to grow up and learn to stand on your own two feet....at least Emotionally. I realise you love to "chew old soup" but when I've heard it more than I have digits both North and South of my Equator,I Feel I've done my part, esp. when any suggestion I've given FOR the Complaint has been IGNORED.
I admit, I'm very much a "Guy" in that I tend toward Feeling that Problems Need Fixing, not just repeatedly complained about for,in some cases DECADES.
By saying this I'm not being a BAD FRIEND. If anything, maybe me switchingthe subject enough times will make you wonder enough to maybe realise that the Emotional Validation for, what I'm Feeling is "Wallowing" will be lessened and maybe you'll do something about IT, or just Accept that something that happened maybe decades ago truly is, after this long a time something that happened to two different people by your life experiences(at least I hope so;>!)...
BTW, this is to some folks in Mid and Cybergard, none active posters on my journal. It's my Vent;>. Though if you think you've resembled one of them(and who hasn't at least at some part of their life...though hopefully the earlier part;>), well, the advice goes. Even for me.
Cheers,
Pat
