Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

For the construction-ish minded:

We have an old footlocker we'd like to make into a toy box for Em. Obvously, we need to figure out a way for the top to not slam down and chop her fingers, toes or head off. We can't put one of those "stay-open" hinge things on it, so I'm trying to figure out a way to keep it open all the time. How could I do that, besides wedge something in there? We can't just take the top off - it's old and really put together well.

piece of wood or metal from top front corner of the base (storage part) to the top corner of the inner opened lid.

How do I affix it to the trunk so it can't be removed?

Aimee, if it's going to be against a wall, could you fasten a wire from the lid to a hook in wall?

screws. If screws would go through the trunk, you could fasten them off with caps like: [link] . to make them more secure you could put glue into the drill hole (made smaller then the screw obviously) before you affixed it all.

make sense?

this shelf kind of shows what I mean.
