We'll after much hair pulling and replacing another cartridge...it seems to be working for the moment.....I don't trust it though!

The printers seem to be almost bulletproof, but the cartridges can be problematic, I suggest not keeping cartridges on hand unless you use a lot of ink, say more than 4 or 5 a year, otherwise the cartridges are "Fresher" at the shops. Some people look at the manufacturing dates and buy accordingly, not a bad practice.

Another Saturday that I have to spend taking my wife around to various car dealerships. Cars! Bah humbug!

She didn't find anything she liked the last times we went and she still wants a car. (Why would anyone in their right mind want a car?!?) And there are too many styles, colors, sizes, etc., that one has to pick from. How can anyone decide? Why doesn't some manufacturer just make a generic 'car!'

What a perfectly silly way to waste a day...

Take a look at the Honda City or Jazz about as "Generic" as you can get

I let her do it all. I'm just the 'moral support' for this transaction. Usually when we are together and she's involved in something that doesn't interest me, I read my palm or play with my mental blocks.

I was thinking more along the lines of the old VW "Thing." Just something to get you from point A to point B without worrying about getting the paint scratched or the fenders dented.

hot water pump isn't working so had to ask the maid to heat some water for my bath.../sigh

The Terminator · 04-15-2011, 11:36 PM

Water line busted in the front yard (The one into the house not the main) #$%^$#@ The neighbor thought the water line was plugged because he didn't have water so he was about to go up the mountain to fix it/flush it out (Small water line only about 20 people on it, our property is not in the village bounds so we didn't have to pay to hook up to there water line)

Ahh well I thought the car was for her, but in that case. I'm thinking you could save a ton of money by just making an upgrade to your bike

i think it's horrible that my dad scolded my brother for having adopted a kitty (he and his fiance did). now he emailed me and asked if dad already said a lot (of bad things) about the kitty. i don't see why a son should have to worry about that *kicks dad*

random rant: it may just be me, but with so many options available, i hardly see any need to go to the darknet for ebooks. that is, unless publishers just decide they want to be dicks and withdraw the lending rights of ebooks *scowl* but i mainly feel uncomfortable pirating ebooks, compared to other forms of media. although i don't think there would be much pirated copies of the genre fiction that i read on the darknet, but maybe that's just because i don't try to look and tempt myself. i mean...i'm ranting because my brother emailed me to ask (he's in singapore now) about my kindle, and we got to talking about ebooks and he asked me if there were pirated ebooks (for the kindle, i think), and i said i didn't know because i have other avenues of getting my ebooks legally (and i just feel damn guilty) and i told him he could borrow ebooks from the singapore library but that it would be in epub format and this was where he said he just downloaded torrents of ebooks :|

but i think that with physical books, at least we'd know which ones are the fake ones, and which ones are real, at least most of the time. with ebooks, aren't they the same digital file? D: just thoughts whirling around in my head. i mean, i could try and follow giggleton's reasoning and say that this is just what society wants us to think and real freedom comes with limitless sharing o_o
