---------------------- multipart/mixed attachment Yes, This works for me as well but the trouble I have is when the small=20 piece of becket string creeps out of the hole just enough to prevent the=20 coil from slipping off over the pin. ARRGGGGHH!!! Then I pay my kid to=20 pluck them all out with either a magnate or needle nose pliers or=20 something. Then I can pull them off easily, cut the wire where needed to=20 pull through the agraffes and I'm home free! Still would like to find some= =20 way to avoid problems with that 1/4" long piece of string though. BTW, if it helps anyone else, I don't pay my kids an allowance. Instead I=20 pay them for their labor, of which there is plenty if they choose to do it,= =20 and it is therefore a tax deduction. I pay them well enough for them to buy= =20 a great deal of their own needs like clothing and school supplies and such.= =20 Of course dad kicks in what they don't have money for and I assure that=20 they have some spending money of their own too. This is just a paper trail= =20 to help the ever present tax burden we all suffer. I once heard, "It's not= =20 how much you make, but rather, how much you get to KEEP!"
