you inspire me, Dick and Barb. Not only because of the creativity and craftsmanship but also because of your loving partnership.

Dick. I remember it as a blog and I’m glad that it gets great use. But I’m not glad that it has to be used.

Dick, you should patent that one. Obviously it works well if Barb has trouble without it. Great idea.

Dick,

That looks like a great idea. Could you take it a little further and come up with one for me to use to play the piano when my fingers hurt too much? I could use one often for the left hand, middle finger. Got any ideas?

Very nice Dick. I have to echo what Ms Deb says: it is just great to see an obviously wonderful relationship with you and Barb. You set a fine example.

Hi everybody, & Thanks.

I remember this from before Dick, it was a great idea then and still is. This could be useful to a lot of people. Thanks. My mom had ole arthur so bad she could have used it.

Thank you Mike,

The reason I posted it now is, because of all the new Jocks may not have seen the Blog.

Hey, I think you’re on to something here! I’ve seen rubber tips used for massage therapy tools that may fit the end of the skinny branch if you need something to prevent slipage. Or, you could find a large pencil eraser that may fit. Great idea.

That’s so sweet of you to make this for her. Smart, talented and thoughtful! I think you’re a “keeper”!

Thank you mmh!

I tried the eraser, but it didn’t change the operating much.

Here’s a previous answer.
