Hi! I've been working on my new job (small apple-farm) for some time and during the spring cleaning we found this strange package... No idea what it might be, haven't open it yet s…

it's for warming your feet or legs, most likely a pouch containing two materials which produce warmth when combined. -r.

rjenkinson nailed it. The product's name is "Hokaron." "Hokahoka" is a Japanese onomatopoeia that indicates warmth or heat. But, "Oriental experts?" What are you, from the 18th…

And I can attest that the package works damn good. This past winter, some friends and I took a vacation to an arctic,frigid place, and one of them had a few of those packs with th…

Maybe its like these! http://www.grabberwarmers.com/handwarmer.htm -Owl

Actually "orient" is archaic according to m-w.com (dictionary). and besides, the orient & asia are different. i think the orient is generally around persia (think oriental rug…

My mother gave me these packets that looks like saline drips - except its all sealed and it has this nickle sized disk in it. you simply snap the disk, and it gets really hot. L…

Yep, it is a Japanese hand warmer. I happen to have one sitting on my desk right now. No real danger in opening it, just don't burn yourself.

Thanks for the replies guys! I think we save this little wonder for some cold winter day... As for "oriental experts", sorry if I insulted somebody. I wasn't even sure what languag…

Does the fact that he wrote down that the wrong date invalidate it in any way?

Damn I assumed I was going the speed limit and didn't look at the speedometer. he assumed it was the 26th and didn't look at the calendar. the court assumes he meant 6th and doesn…

Before you head to court on 9/26/2004 > at 8:45am you should find a 65mph zone and cruise at 83MPH. It's legal. You already got a ticket for it.

They can just amend the ticket in court that day. When I was in high school, I got a ticket for getting into a fight on 8/5/97, when in fact the fight occured on 10/5/97. The jud…

you might not have to go to court. some places take credit cards over the phone and will give you a confirmation # for paying that way.
