$$$
Okay, so I was just sitting down to print out some pictures for Sammie's class when what happens?.............The printer completely runs out of ink!! And I don't mean it gave me that cute little message on the computer saying,"Warning, you are getting close to needing another ink cartridge. Please, go out and spend $50.00 to replace it before you notice ANY difference in your printing quality. Your printer really doesn't need it yet but since you have an abundance of money, you won't miss what's left in your cartridge."
My computer was at the point where it would've said,
"Okay, so you've ignored me the past 10 times I've told you to change your ink cartridge. I've tried being nice, leaving you little hints, giving you polite blinking lights; but no..........you don't care. So now you're out of ink completely and what am I going to do....Laugh silently at you while you get mad."
So now what do I do? If I think about it, that money could go to buying that new pair of boots that I have been wanting. Not the $200.00 pair like Monica probably could get, but the $50.00, made out of some sort of conglomerate of plastic and "poly-dehyro-techni-carbon-helix" stuff that I would put on and prance around like I had just had a cow slain for my very own boots. I would be in hog heaven, thinking I was the most stylish girl in Sanford. Wait a minute, I probably would be.
So off to Office Max I go...

Very funny post Jennifer.
After all that, is the printer working?
Mom
Only $50? Luxury! (pronounced "Loogshery") My printer cartridges cost $90. And that's the cheap one. Boy, kids these days don't appreciate how good they've got it. Why, when I was a boy...
Ron,
You are lucky! I used to dream of owning a printer. I’d spend days transcribing images by hand from my 14” computer screen to a crumpled up piece of paper using half melted crayons. “But you know, we were happy in those days, though we were poor”
Wow, a computer monitor? I used to have to touch the end of the video cable with the tip of my tongue and guess what characters I had to write down. And all we had to write with was phlegm, so I had to cough continually to keep going.
And when you tell kids all these things they don't believe you.
. . . . will the competition never end?? Boys??
:-)
With a $10 coupon, my price came to $47. Hey, after all, I'm worth it.
Well when I say "monitor" it was only a used paper plate covered by a piece of plastic wrap, but it was a computer to us., We used to dream of a video cable! We would cut the tips of our fingers and use our own blood to write down the characters that were yelled to us from the overlords who would beat us around the head and neck with a broken bottle, if we were LUCKY!
Right. The video cable was just a long piece of rope with a sharp nail in the end. We had to get up every morning a half hour before we went to bed, and stand for 29 hours with our tongues out waiting for someone to whip us in the face with the cable. Then they would beat us to death with hammers and dance on our graves, while telling us how much harder it was when they were young.
Kids have it so easy these days.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
You guys are hysterical
But seriously, Jen....
WE have places here that refill old cartiges for...um...I think $15.00 or so? (well...60% off)
HEY...here's a money making idea....if Sanford has no such place...hows about offereing that service in your shop??? oooo...just think of all the money you could make.....*cha-ching!*
