Re: dammit! my printer died - 10 months ago

My Dell color laser finally gave up the ghost. I bought it on Amazon for like $100 and for a couple years it was cheaper to buy a new printer rather than the set of ink cartridges. Those days are over, it's been about 8 years and the current price on the discontinued 1760? Amazon has four for $705. Newp. Bought an Epson 2850 while I was on the road in March because I had to scan a lot of rec

When I was exclusively in the popcorn/cotton candy business, I made my own carmelcorn, for holiday packages and I used a product similar to this- This wasn't the same stuff I'd pop and sell by the box, unless I was at a fair or festival, in which case I'd use the regular corn since carrying two varieties on the road was impractical.

Re: Hulu $1.99/month details - 1 year ago

Supposedly you're not eligible for the $1,99 if you're an existing subscriber or been a subscriber in the last month. It was worth 99¢ and I'd probably re-up for $1,99 but $7.99? That's a hard pass. Is it worth using a different e-mail addy just to take advantage of this? Well...other than Solar Opposites I really didn't watch a lot on it, and I'll probably just let this one go.

I worked at Wendy's at one point. I'm sure the practice hasn't changed, except the refrigerated meat was put on a burner to bring to temp, then drained. If memory serves, chili had a day or two and then had to be tossed out. "Marrying" (adding new to old) was forbidden. Held at over 140•. So what's the big deal?

Done this too many times, and yeah, I'm one of the guys who offers what I think is fair-even if it's less than half the asking.

Used stuff has little resale value for starters, and an offer from me is like gold-I offer X and you accept, you're paid within two hours. Of course the st

All I serve is hot brewed coffee (as far as the hot stuff goes) customers can get flavors, but no steamed milk, foam, espresso shots, etc. that would slow the line down. I'm at $3 and $4, and usually I handle Seattle's Best Portside.
