Our name for this "beige box" which lets you hook up as many as (4) phones to (1) line when the phones have 4-line cords and the line terminates in a standard modular receptacle. Just plug the box into the modular receptacle, pry off the lid and wire in (1) to (4) phones (or lines) and fasten the box to the wall. The box is 4-1/4" x 2" x 1-1/8" thick and phone beige. Sounds like a way to get the phone, the fax, the computer and an extension all on to a single line??

There's a story behind these zippers and we're sure it has something to do with moist nights under a Southern moon. We received a shipment of shredded pink lingerie from Georgia, you see, from a charming group of young ladies who must be awfully cold at night. Anyway, the lingerie was pretty much a write-off, but the zippers were in pristine condition, never having been used. They're 7" long and set in 8-1/4" of synthetic cloth. And, of course, they're pink.

Nontoxic, water–reducible acrylic–based paint sticks to most surfaces and glows in the dark after only a brief exposure to bright ambient light. We have a 2 oz bottle of yellow/green that will glow for up to 20 hours. This works great for Halloween costumes and hobby applications, and glows like crazy under blacklight. And without a single radionuclide! Amazing!

Never seemed fair to nail the "lazy" tag so permanently on the "Susans" but that probably has no "bearing" on the issue. Also called turntable bearings, they are the square, flat ball bearing devices YOU bolt between two flat objects to achieve rotation. Like that spinning center section of a Chinese restaurant table. We had these in surplus once and they were quite popular. To our chagrin, we discovered they could be bought commercially for the same price. So we did. The 4" version is rated for a 300lb. load, the 6" for 500lbs., and the 12" (round) for 1000lbs.

A couple of pulleys just ready to be combined into the block and tackle you need for tiny jobs, like trimming your bonsai trees or hauling your model boat out of the pond. Get blocks with (1) or (2) sheaves and rig up whatever you need. Each block has an aluminum frame about 3–1/2” long with “S” hooks on each end. The sheaves, or wheels are about 2” dia x 1/4” wide, with a “V” groove that looks perfect to handle 1/8” or smaller Venetian blind cord. These dudes are perfect for demonstrating mechanical advantage in the physics lab!! But not for heavy lifting.
