I don't suppose that certain some one is the same someone I saw him/you dave with at the Christmas vespers?

Congrats on the finalized senior project.

wow. and here i thought he was gonna be elligible for a refund for getting through college without a spouse.
now, that is jumping to conclusions, but at least the ball is rollin. I wonder how the studies fair? what's her major? who's the someone!

From the momma, I also heard gf's name is Gina. She's a theology/health major or something along those lines. There's also something about her living up here at one point, or going to UCA - something along those lines, I don't really remember. Oh, and she's a sophomore.

That's a little more info...

so my question is (since i have had no experience in this matter) how exactly do you officially start dating? do you go down on one knee and say, "sweetie, will you be my steady sweetie?" just curious.

as for the super knot... mmm sounds like an interesting problem. i'm thinking of a few solutions, but i look forward to actually seeing you sometime this year so i can see what your solution was. cool deal dave.

from the limited description of the problem i'd have to say the solution is the same as one of those mini retractable spring loaded coard roller-upper things, they make the for mini USB cords, headphone cords, cell phone charging cords.. just about anything you wouldn't want tangled. kinda like an automatic miniture garden hose roller thing.

hmm.. a second method... lubricate the outside of the cord so no matter what 'knot' it got in you could still pull really hard and it would come undone...

a third method.. make the cord out of lots of 2" segments so that you just unclip it instead of untangle it. ohh.. wait, it might get stuck in the body.. i mean patient.

4) fire the person that tangled it
5) make an intern untangle it
6) make it so cheep you could afford to throw it away
7) sell it to the patient as a novelty item to recoup the cost.
8) make fiber optic christmas trees "dr. style"
9) cut it into pieces with scissors and have 'lots of just right sizes'
10) make a way to splice a cut cable back together
11) outsource it to india
12) outsource it to china
13) outsource it to pakistan

fiber optics?! splice?
what is keith smoking.
that's possible, but the splicing kits are pretty spendy, even on a large scale.
i like the retractable cable idea
but the lubricated outside, and the 'retraction' device may not be body cavity friendly.

also, a 'tool adon' may be the solution to facilitate LESS tangled cables. if it's forced to be straight outside the body, chances are it would not get tangled inside the body.

what are the handling procedures?
what are the specs on the cables?
what is the life span of a cable given it does not get tangled.
what are the costs associated with replacement instead of untie and repackage?
how many units are in service and what opportinuty do you have to break even after the leagal fees and pattent process?

so, I figured there was some way that I could get a picture or link to Gina's picture w/o logging into the WWC Mask. Wasn't sure how to do it, but I knew I could come up w/ something (even if it was the hard way). With the help of my awesomely smart man, I've come up with this (he knows the easy way): http://as.wwc.edu/mask/2004-2005/photos/web_full/20041373_1.jpg
