That looks good, and pretty cheap too. I'd try a pair if I can see
them in the store first. I believe they would be suitable for walking
as the OP intended. I'd rip them off very quickly trying to run on
them because I have to switch back and forth from dry to ice so often.
I'll be checking the store.

Thanks for the education. The phrase "screwing shoes" had my mind on a
different train of thought. :-D

Sorry, i read your post again...you did say 'bathtub'...I got confused
with the pop-up of the sink in bathrooms. Why ask in this frugal
forum..you would be better off in so many of those "How do I..."
forums which can be found by googling it? I still say that link of
yours takes me directly to windows live...go figure.

Nothing wrong with his link...Must be something on your end...Do you know
what brand it is??? Hard to give info without that..Also you can check the
manufacturers website if you know what brand it is....

re: Nothing wrong with his link...Must be something on your end

What ever is wrong on his end is wrong on my end too.

Link goes to a Windows Live page entitled Bath Tub and shows 2
"images" that contain the dreaded red X.

I am sorry that the link is not working. I checked it from my end
without signing on to hotmail. It seems to be there.

What the pictures depict is a somewhat rounded triangular knob. There
are no external fasteners (i.e. no screws, pins, etc). I am afraid to
pull this too hard, in case there is a different way of removing it.

I wish we could post photos on usenet along with our text...

Unfortunately there are no manufacturer's name or insignia.

I am afraid to pull the metallic part too hard in case it is attached
a different way. (I turned it counterclockwise to see if it is screwed
on, but that did not help either.)

What I am looking for is somebody who has seen and had first hand
experience with this exact knob to tell me how to remove it.

Once it is removed, it is got to be the way you described.

Anybody out in the Cyber world that has dealt with this type of knob?

Thanks anyway.

The part that activates the rocker on the plug could be a spiral if so it
could be stuck. Usually you just unscrew the escutcheon on the overful and
lift it out!

Your link worked for me. For those for whom the link did not work, maybe
they could do a copy and paste of the link text into the address bar and try
it that way.

Due to the reflections in the pictures, I misunderstood what I was seeing in
the pictures. Since you said your "turn" the knob to operate the drain, I
took another look. In the photo view from the bottom, it looks like maybe
there is a little round inset-type cap on the side of the fixture. If so,
maybe you could use a pointed kitchen steak knife to pry/pop the cap out,
then see if there is a set screw in there. Since you turn the knob for it
to work, my guess is that there is a set screw that holds the knob to the
shaft inside that has to be turned.

Sorry, we already know that you're a foaming left-winger. Just curious
to see if you had some facts or logic to back your assertion. It's
clear that you don't, so I will consider the source... :O|

Its much more portable, but the much smaller screen is a real downside.

I found myself occasionally going to McDonald's after I discovered
their Double Cheeseburger on the dollar menu. Normally, I went to
Wendy's and got the Jr. Cheeseburger Deluxe, or sometimes to Burger King
to get the Whopper Jr.

However, our local McDonald's raised the price of their double
cheeseburger from $1 up to $1.38. The one still on the dollar menu has
two burger patties, and just a single slice of cheese. A 38% increase
to keep that second piece of cheese seemed a bit much, so I don't go to
McDonald's much at all any more.

Now that the price for food commodities has started going back down,
how many of you think that McDonald's will decrease their retail costs?
Will they, or will it be more like how the gas stations keep prices up
for a while?

Any business will keep their prices as high as possible, as long as
possible, in order to fatten their bottom line. Note what the U.S. banks are
doing with the "bailout" money--stuffing it in their mattress so they have a
better dividend report to issue to shareholders next quarter.

You can expect McDonald's to decrease their prices only if sales decline
enough to hurt their profitability. And, when they do so, they will make a
big lying deal of how "we're reducing prices to save you money!"

The facts show that is not true. Walmart has a policy of always
trying to offer the lowest possible price. They account for a
major slice of the retail market.

Its not news to me that there are variations in pricing at various
McDonalds. Niagara Falls Canada seems to be home to the most expensive
fast food I've encountered. I would suppose it varies based on the
location costs, and competition. Denny's was much worse BTW - their
prices were much much higher.

And what happens after you "just sign up?" You get addicted and keep
redepositing and redepositing. Nobody wins money on your cheating poker
sites. Go try to dupe someone else, wanker.
