Re: BURDIE'S CHALLENGES for Feb.

THE WINNER
GYPSYHEART!!!
I can't believe it. For the second time now the winner has been selected to furnish the prizes to the winner. What lousey luck GH. Oh well.
I thank you all that participated. I can't believe this product is not making a come back with recycling a big issue. The answer: The Paper Welder measures 5" long, by 2" wide, by 5" high with the lever in the natural (up) position. It is solidly built from chrome plated, die cast metal (probably zinc) with a cork bottom. Paper Welder Inc. made one device, called appropriately enough, The Paper Welder. A 14-year design patent for this machine was granted on September 4, 1956 to Norman Bathrick and Leo Collins (both from New York). The patent was assigned to Bathrick-Collins, Inc. which later became Paper Welder, Inc. The Paper Welder falls into the category of "stapleless" fasteners. These devices use no staples; instead they make the fastener from the paper itself. Most stapleless fasteners (like the Bump and Clipless) cut and fold the paper. However, the Paper Welder is unique: Instead of punching and folding the paper, the Paper Welder uses toothed jaws to join the paper together with a zipper-like crimp. This one works very well.

Hey Noodle...I read the entire thing wrong to begin with,as I thought when he said "snowbirds" that it had something to do with snow... :)...I thought the room clue...meant library/office ...because I knew I didnt have anything like that in the kitchen...or the bedroom...LOL...anyway....dont you think he should run these every week??? And also provide REAL prizes!!!! :D I will gladly give my prize to the next winner tho.....

Re: BURDIE'S CHALLENGES Last post is the answer.

I'm with you, Gypsy! I think a weekly puzzle would be entertaining. Wonder how stuffed Burdie's attic is? Think he could keep us busy for a few months?? ;D ;D I guess he was going for the library/office with his clue. Since I don't have one of those, I missed it. ha! Yes, you could pass along your cyber Oscar to the next winner. :D

This was fun! Get the next one ready, Burdie!

Re: BURDIE'S CHALLENGES Last post is the answer.

You guys have given me a great idea. I have been cleaning my attic that is full of junk. I have x-mass boxes that I saved to use next Christmas. That was three years ago. I now can send prizes C.O.D. and get rid of all my junk. Thanks guys!! Look out GH I may have something for you after all. Might not want a family opening. He He
A traveling trophy would be good. I think of the forum as part of my family but we have to be careful about information being transfered on the internet. Everyone think on it and give your opinions if you like. Burdie
