Oh Shit...

8:58pm: I've just wasted $13! At least I think I have.

After the success with the black ink cartridge I finally got around to buying a refill for the colour one. However, I think I must have made a mistake because the blue won't work! The yellow and red is fine, but there's no blue!

Now I don't know what to do...it's not like I can return the product now having used it and all. Geeze...a new cartridge costs about $40, and if I buy a new one that'll be a total cost of $55! You can buy an entire new printer (which will probably be better than this old one) for a little more than that! OK maybe not, but you know what I mean.

There's definitely blue ink in the cartridge though because I got it all over my hands and I don't think it's in the wrong hole, so what's the deal with that?

This sucks, I was hoping to print off my Christmas cards... :O(

The best laid plans of Moose and Men indeed...

Whoops, I feel rather dumb, I just checked something on Google, and you're supposed to let the cartridge sit for a while. Duh! Well, I'll go and do that, and see if it makes the blue ink work.

3x Thursday

Someone Elses' Wishes

You have been granted 3 wishes! However, you have to use your wishes on 3 separate people. Who would you choose, what would you wish for them, and why?

I wish that the little bro could get his act together!
I wish my parents mortgage and whatnot was paid off. ('Cause that's always nice, to be debt free!)
I wish my grandmother could work in the garden again (she has athritis and she loved to garden)

Booking Through Thursday

Catalogue

Do you use any of the online book-cataloguing sites, like Library Thing or Shelfari? Why or why not? (Or . . . do you have absolutely no idea what I’m talking to?? (grin))

If not an online catalog, do you use any other method to catalog your book collection? Excel spreadsheets, index cards, a notebook, anything?


I use online library catalogues, but I don't have a system here at home, which I probably should have because I have no idea where some of my books are, and I could really use some of them right now.

I wouldn't use those online cataloguing websites because what would happen if you couldn't get online? That'd be a bit of a waste.

Thursday Threesome

::'Tis the Season!::

Onesome: 'Tis-- Hmmm... More or less an older contraction? Do you have any semi-archaic words you use regularly? (Yes, Laurie, "allegro" would qualify...)

No, although I have been using no contractions while writing my George III story because people seriously didn't in those days, sure helps when you're doing NaNO I must say, LOL!

Twosome: the-- heck you say? Okay, how about a 'regional' saying you're known to be fond of? You know, the one the relatives just don't get when you say it on the phone... Sure, slang will work !

Well, the ol' Aussie stables, Mate...Lammo, a bluey. Gotta love the Australian slang, it's quite hilarious.

Threesome: Season--ings for the season? Mulled cider? Peppermint bark? Apple pie? What do you look forward to in the Winter months?

I hate seasoning...because I'm a picky eater I suppose. And it's not winter here, it's going into Summer, which I'm quite happy about because I hate being cold.

Yikes it's after 10:30pm, so I better get to bed.

Which reminds me, the curse of The Sims 2 has come to my computer! I couldn't get it to work last night, it kept telling me I didn't have DirectX installed. I don't believe it's the game though, like I said my laptop is getting on and it's possible it's got to do with that. Still it's an arse, I guess I'll use this time to get all my Sim family posts up to date.

And that's all I have to say about that.

Good night to you all.
