Subj: Re: [kl] Loose rings
Date: Tue, 8 Jan 2002 09:18:08 -0500

Just wanted to add..: I didn't mean it took from cold weather in the winter
and all the way to the summer before they tightened again, it just took a
few days.. (the weather changes between cold and "not-so-cold" and
"different humidities" in the winter too).. in case anyone was confused
about my previous post..
If it's "really serious" I suppose it's always a good idea to have someone
look at it. Mine were so loose they came off, I "panicked" and called my
teacher about it and he just told me to relax, they'd definitely be ok
again soon..so..
