• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Calgary Area Meetup is set for Saturday July 12th at 10am. The signup thread is here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

That totally depends on how much you have been drinking, of what, and which way you are facing at the moment you need to decide. It's not a good time to be dizzy.

Back in my groundhog hunting days I came to appreciate the fact that the Mennonites don't have lefts or rights. Everything is a compass direction. No idea how their horses handled that though.

Wait, WHAT? So your you have an East and West hand, which could become your North hand and South hands?

While I have a strong sense of Polar direction, and do prefer it for a lot of directional description (driving especially), only going by that would drive me nuts for some stuff. I guess one would get used to it, like most things. If it's all you know, you don't know any different either. But still, very strange. Had never heard of that before.

I've had a Half Quart of COFFEE, & a Qt/H20, But sometimes I think my Last HANGOVER, from 1980 still effects me Brain ° ° ° ° err, AFFECTS Mine Brain?

Well, you know Watt I mean, I might of STOPPED One day TO LATE ! ! ! ! ! ! !

The Indiginous Peoples of the United States also have no left/right: They don't speak much Either, I found out.... Just a SMALL nod of the HEAD is supposed to indicate Direction HARD to see, if you are the DRIVER, and your Passenger is the Navigator!

Just one more coment about *Left* *Right*,

My Best Friend, is ADAMENTLY . . . . LEFT HANDED! that Was Discussed AT LENGTH when we First met, circa 1975/6: in our Conversation, I replied "that's Right" HE IMEDIATELY STATED: *Are you Talking about a DIRECTION, or one of your Two HANDS . . . . Perhaps you meant to say Your CORRECT* !!!!!
