Dear Folks, I've been procrastinating turning my wristwatch ahead to Standard Time for only one reason. The little knob on the side of it is impossible to pull out. In the past my fingernails have managed to pry it up but not tonight. I turned to my handy dandy very tiny thin screw driver knowing full well that it could do the job. All I wanted to do was to set my watch ahead. I pried and I pried but nothing happened. So what do you do under such circumstances? You turn back to your fingernails and try again no matter how chipped they've become. And with the last desperate measures, the knob finally gives in and your watch is set ahead. I guess the only moral to this message is to not to give up on your fingernails. They've served you well in the past and they'll do a good job in the future. Just don't get bent out of shape when you chip or break one of them. If they're real, they'll grow back in again and if they aren't real you know where to find a replacement. vee

Hey Vee, While I know it is probably not good for my teeth, I still use them to pull out the knob to reset my watch. I cannot get hold of it with acrylic nails, even though they are short. Of course, we in Arizona don't "do" Daylight Savings Time, but whenever I go to and from my home state of Missouri, I do need to reset my watch. Leslie

Hi all - Now that the subject of fingernails is up, and it looks like I'm not the only one who can't seem to have nice nails, I wonder if anyone has found anything that helps theirs stay strong and not so brittle (and near useless). Mine chip off with the slightest things I do. Dang it anyway. ;-( Evelyn > Dear Folks, > > I've been procrastinating turning my wristwatch ahead to Standard Time for > only one reason.
