This morning I was soooo disappointed because while washing my hair I knocked one of my very most favorite silver stud earrings down the drain. Mr. Lil immediately grabbed his telescoping magnet, then I "reminded" him that you can't pick up silver with a magnet I thanked him for trying and ran off to grocery shop.

When I came home the earring was on the bathroom counter. I was sooo happy, I asked "How did you get this out?" and my kiddos said, "he used a dental pick and a peanut butter chewy candy" After accusing them of being full of a substance usuallyfound in a pasture, their father assured me he had indeed got my earring out of the drain using a dental pick and peanut butter chews. When I asked him how the hell he came up with that idea he replied, " I couldn't find any chewing gum." :dizzy:

Have you ever solved a problem in an extremely creative way?

unfortunately I'm not that creative and usually let anger and frustration take over in the form of a pity party. You've got a wonderful husband Lil...

My wife dropped one of her contacts down the bathroom sink once. She was all perturbed and mad at herself. I took the flashlight and saw that fortunately, it had landed, curved sides up, on the little lever that normally lifts and lowers the drain plug. It's about 4 inches down the drain though. She says "Great, now what?" I went to get one of those 8 inch long q-tips that I used to clean my cassette player heads and a jar of honey. Dabbed a little on the q-tip end lowered it down the drain and ......voila! Brought up contact on the end of the q-tip and handed it to her............... WELL......... that is what MacGuyver would have done!

Is the love I gave her in the past, gonna be enough to last, if tomorrow never comes........

Before my dad passed away, he had an old Oldsmobile Delta 88 that had a rear tail light lens with a hole in it. After the dealer told him it'd cost $70 to fix; he brought it home. I saw the broken part of the lens laying in the bottom of the light fixture; took a straw with bubble gum and pulled the broken chip up. Put glue around the opening and pulled the lens piece back into place. Held it until the glue set and ... voila ... it worked. Lens lasted like that for several years after dad passed away and my brother took over the car.

I've never done anything like that--I guess I just think inside the box lol

It's a BOY!!

My daughter's car, an old Daewoo (Korean crap), needed a rear lens cluster.

Replacements were almost 200 Ozbucks and had been on order for 18 months.

The Motor people were not going to pass the car for registration.

I found a trailer lens for 15 Ozbucks and cut coloured bits to shape and stuck them in

the holes with silicone so I could change the globe if it blew.

DMV passed the car and you still can't get the part.
