Light by heated wire or gas discharge?

I'm pretty sure it isn't for a LED.

Neon Lights

Close enough. I won't be a big nit picker this time.

The object in question is an electrical connecting device for neon signs for connecting the luminous tube electrode to an electrical conductor, patent number 2,072,042.

Take it away when you feel up to it.

Oh Grant :( I'm so behind on everyone's news and had no idea you'd suffered the loss of your girlfriend :((( I am so very sorry.

I know how worried you were when she was taken ill and how you took care of her throughout that time and how much you loved her. :) My heart aches for you. There does come a time when the happy memories of all the years we spend together, sustain us, without reopening that ghastly pain of the loss we suffer when they're first wrenched away from us. Until then, the dreadful dark days that follow only occasionally get the respite of a sunbeam or two.

A friend described it as having to learn to walk again with only half a body. She's still taking just baby steps with the help of her friends. And you have many friends here :)

I said to someone else a little while, that hugs don't take away our grief, but they give us a place to rest awhile until we learn to smile again. I'm sad mine can only be sent by internet and not in person, but I hope they work the same.

big hugs (and more are available in my inbox when you need them)

oh...and did we say we like humans too? Well we do :)
