Issuing an important poopal edict in the process. :P I saw a meme where in Taco Bell, there were replacing the seats with toilets...and another related meme noted "I got gas for under $1 today, but it was at Taco Bell"!! BM> Meanwhile Gertrude is wishing she was a train.... Oh: that was the BM> other message! Training for what?? DS> said "You're coming with me today. We're going downtown...they DS> say that the mayor is going to lay a cornerstone". BM> More like . BM> (Whoa! That was a noisy gust of wind.) Windbreaker: a poot suit. :P BM> Heck up here we supposedly know how to drive in the stuff and look what BM> sometimes happens. An overnight winter storm is God saying "take today off". BM> Plus you've learned what the colours, symbols, etc., mean. LIS in the BM> previous message, my little radar display was very colourful. Did note BM> a definite line between the oranges and reds and the blues: the 32ø BM> boundary. Yeah, the radarscope app has that as well. But, if the temperature is forecast to be below 35, it's time to stay home (even though I do that all the time now, after ending driving last summer). DS> snack, why did they put a light in the refrigerator and freezer?? BM> To wake up the flavours?! Like the commercial for Arm And Hammer Baking soda...the old box was on its last legs, and on the of the items smirks "Onion Power!! Ahhhh!!". Then, the new box of baking soda arrives, and all the "stinky stuff" growl as one "Party Pooper". :P BM> I've pretty much always tried not to waste paper and ink (now toner) BM> but sometimes just a heck of a lot easier to look at a printout. And BM> if the back of the printout is blank or sufficient portion is blank BM> I'll use it for scratch paper. My late Mom did that with several items...but I rarely print anything anymore, especially considering the cost of ink cartridges. And, as I've noted before, Canon and HP won't let you use "generic recycled ink cartridges"...you have to buy the more expensive name brand. Otherwise, the software says "you're out of ink", and it won't let you print stuff. BM> The new printers come with a starter container of ink. I can't afford any new hardware of software anymore.

Pretty much knew not for me: potentially too messy, plus I BM> have the tendancy to over-do: I'd try to put just a little bit more ink BM> in now so I'd have more time between fills. I just cut down on what I print. DS> Maybe the printer is taking a leak. BM> It did have a case of incontinence! Maybe the air bladders in the cartridges were weak. :P Daryl .... Darn it!!
