Should we ask what you're doing with a pacifier?

I guess saving my son's life  :D  He is only a month old and the end of the pacifier was almost completely broken off, waiting to be lodged into his throat... won't buy those again!

My local hardware store is stocking less and less, and I was down to one, but needed two to run my Mamod tonight... what to do...

Well, for some reason I saved this pacifier that broke a few days ago and it just happened to be about the same thickness as the o-ring I had. Best part, it worked  :D  Ended up making two and saved my o-ring for later.
