grrr

good advice on the gloves, where were you a few hours ago?!, my hand is all sore and a bit swollen from all the twisting now. Anyway.

It's still stuck, I have it upside-down soaking in rubbing alcohol now and am poking around the edge of the downstem with a toothpick soaked in alcohol from time to time.... I'm just gonna let it soak overnight. It's all balanced with a mound of towels so it can't tip over and break or anything.

I'm still trying not to use any kind of breaking force, just cause as of right now its still use-able. And getting a replacement downstem takes the kind of effort that involves driving somewhere and i'm feeling lazy.

Here's a pic of my baby when it was brand new if anyone cares:http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f1...g?t=1196592905
