Fax them back a bill for the paper and toner PLUS a "pain in the ass" fee.

I JUST made a pot of coffee in my nice stainless steel press pot. Then I dumped it all over the counter and floor and down the front of all my kitchen drawers. Hot coffee and fine grounds are everywhere.

My kitchen smells WONDERFUL!!!

Sounds like you scorched your groove and your counter at the same time.

Why does a wonderfully smelling kitchen scorch your groove?

Jim - are you saying you had a thousand blank pages already set up to feed through your fax machine? That's kind of crazy.

It prolly has internal memory - keeps all the info until the paper is refilled, then spits out more.

Still no announcement on a second season of Camelot.

The quieter Starz is and the longer the silence reigns, the more it feels like this will not get picked up for a second season.

I really liked it!

I take a couple days off work and wake up with the beginnings of a cold. I often get sick after my one day a week on the front line, after touching too many IDs and exchanging too much paperwork with too many people who may or may not have any number of maladies but it shouldn't happen on my vacation. Bah. Well, i'll get some rest whether I like it or not.

@ Dana - I began watching Camelot after getting hooked on GOT... I like(d) it also.

Moving the goalposts

yesterday, i sucked it up and payed the deposit and USA registration fees for the boys' hockey and Hebe's Pay-to-Play fee for high school swimming. I shelled out $670 non-refundable. Last night I learned from the local news that the Board of Ed was righting and planning to increase the pay to play by at least $100 despite the season already being underway and people being financially committed...... And this morning I learn that apparently when the hockey board says

Quote:
Important 2011-12 Fall/Winter House, Girls, and Travel Program Fee Information:

Program fees are expected to be near last year's. Final costs for House, Girls, and Travel programs will be dependent on the number of registered players per team and program. The fees for instructional programs do not change based on number of players. A list of programs can be found below. Your non-refundable registration fee is applied toward your total program cost. Adjustments in rates from last year are driven by changes in ice time based on input from participants. We strongly encourage you to register your player early.
They must consider a 30% increase as "near" because that is the figure being circulated.

My groove is truly scorched and some people are going to get singed from the fall-out......
