Happy Discoveries

1) For keeping the seatbelt in your car from resting on your neck, a simple carabiner works as well as those hard-to-find plastic seatbelt clips.

2) If you actually carry your cellphone with you, you don't need to wear a watch.

3) Naked Juice bottles exactly fit in the water-bottle compartment of the Laptop Lunch carrying case.

Cellphones and Watches

I've read articles lamenting the end of an era, because young people these days no longer wear watches.

Which probably explains why so many people depend upon me to have the time at the part-time job - cell phones are not allowed in the work area.

Sounds very plausible.

For many years I didn't wear a watch: I had a small calculator with a chronometer function, which fit in my shirt pocket. It was when they stopped making them (about ten years ago) that I started wearing a watch again. It's still handy (if you'll pardon the expression) to be able to see the time without much effort, but it was nice not having to wear the accessory.

Now... what's a carabiner?

What exactly is a carabiner?

Those seatbelt clips are great. These people make them.

A carabiner, for you and barondave, is a little metal clip used by mountain climbers for securing ropes in particular places. Think of an oval. One side of the oval has a hinge that allows the side to open into the oval, but will not swing out. Thus, a rope (or seatbelt) could enter into the oval but could not leave.

I see them all over the place. As mug handles, key chains, all sorts of things.

Oh, of course! I've seen those things around. And I'd heard the word - just never brought the two together. :)
