You don't by chance take the sleeping aid Zolpidem (generic) - brand name Ambien? It has a widely known side effect of causing memory loss of activities undertaken while on it. There are several court cases where something tragic happened and its effect was used as a defense (e.g. against...

Thanks Pman. The lesson I learned is that your parents (and eventually yourself/spouse) have a very explicit Advance Directive (called an AD) and other things in order, e.g. will, trusts, etc., or family can interfere and really mess things up. I'm relieved it's over for my Dad.

Thanks again everyone. This is what he did and was very proud of it. And we were very proud of him.

Apropos user name for a laser forum ... Welcome!

Welcome Skans. Are you an accountant?

Wow! Thanks Len and everyone else. I just saw this after I had just posted some info in the Broker thread. I am truly touched. Nice group of people here.

:na:

I PM'd you a while back. Back to the diverted topic for a moment, my Dad died yesterday. He was miserable and finally the decision was made to pull life sustaining treatment and within hours he was gone. He was the only one who was really interested in my laser hobby (we both have a...

Did this host work out and if so, the number isn't working on eBay? Can you double check?

I saw this crowd funding website and 'bought' about $90 worth of Batterisers for AAA, AA, and C sizes. Bought means you give them the money before they finish production then wait in line for them to begin production and ship. Kind of like Tesla was, maybe still is. That was last summer...

I buy 99% of the time but have sold a few things. Even as a Buyer I've gotten feedback after I left feedback months later. I make it a point to leave feedback. I also worked retail (automotive repair) during college so clientele was just a segment of society. I learned customers can really...

I built an alarm clock some 15+ years ago that was backed up by a coin cell battery. Since it was a DIY, to replace the battery you had to open it up, get your little screwdriver, etc. I built it for my wife who traveled a lot and while the coin cell didn't need replacing for many many months...

One other comment on return shipping. It's already fairly high to ship to another country but can be significantly higher for large and/or heavy items. For goods from another country, Sellers often request the item be returned at the Buyer's expense which can be as much if not much more than...

I don't think you can submit a question during that part of the dispute (this is the escalation part?). You could try and call as others suggested - I don't see any downside to that. Just make sure you only answer what is asked and if they ask what exactly you bought, well that's your call but...

That's pretty cool with 2-color combos. I'd be interested in a GB or might get one anyway. I am curious how well the alignment comes new and holds up under nominal handling conditions. E.g., does just a small bump setting it down matter a lot? The RB and RG pictures look nice.

Rick Trent (click on his name for a YouTube video) sells heatsinks and modules on eBay. Another video here. They're designed to fit into flashlight hosts - sells them with MX-900s. The heatsinks are a little pricey now at $85, used to be about half that several months ago.

Welcome JamesHappy. There are plenty of well qualified people here on LPF to help educate you on lasers. I'm a PIC man myself.

:bumpit:

And look at all the views already.

That's a good outcome. I'm glad it's working out. I wish my dad would regain his mental capacities well enough to have that conversation. Right now he's in and out, somewhat lucid some of the time but doesn't make much sense almost all of the time. Still confuses reality with dreams although...
