    I read that before on my phone and it scanned in my brain as "My printer is not a typical household printer, it's big Epson, two drawer, large paper (13"x19"), and it's heavy, made out of solid wood, like the chest it sits on without drawers"

    I was picturing some really old 70's baroque Zenith console TV kinda ginormous printer with nixi tubes and cogs and gears that whir and hum even when it's not on because the capacitors are so large it takes two years to dissipate the charge once it's turned off.

    Sometimes my words are actually in the right order and mean what I say.  But don't count on it.

    Found this fidget toy for my stepdad!  I think they are supposed to be the latest fad.  Is Christmas in 2 or 3 months?

    ..here in the northwest corner of the country we've  already been dealing with murder hornets, we don't need murder otters to add to the situation.. 

    Next you know it will be Drop Squirrels or dive bombing pigeons.

    No joke, in Philadelphia a few weeks ago a squirrel fell out of a tree onto my wife... like right near constitution hall... and a year ago a dead pigeon fell on my daughter in front of a store... apparently it crashed into a wall and died, but it could have been up to something more sinister.

    ...one morning years ago as I was heading off to work early one morning, a squirrel fell off a wire above and dropped on my shoulder .  Granted it was a bit startling particularly as I only had a few sips of coffee from the commuter cup I was carrying ,  It then slid off landed on the pavement, ans after a few moments to get its wits back, scurried away instead of digging it's fangs and claws into my shoulder 

    So as it turned out it was just a normal Sciurus griseus and not the fierce thylosciurus plummetus.

    Which one is that ? For real  there are keys I don't think I've ever used or know what they are for

    Funny, funny, show!  This is from an episode in which Homer discovers the Internet with his first computer.  Reading on-screen instructions, it says, "Press Any Key"...he looks and wimpers, "Where's the Any Key?"

    ...I actually had an "any" key on the keyboard of the computer when I worked at a development firm back in the late 80s/early 90s.  The keyboard had 6  programmable function keys each with a little clear sleeve on top into which a label could be inserted. So I made a label up that read "ANY" put it on one of the unused ones and just set the key to register a null keystroke. When I ran anything that initiated with a "press any key" to start prompt, I'd use that key.

    I'm ashamed to say that I've discarded piles of those in my lifetime.blushsad 

    The "printing" on old-school keycaps was two different colors of plastic comprising the entire keycap.  The bottom layer was dark and had raised letters about a millimeter high, the top layer was white and was molded around the keycap but leaving the top of the raised dark plastic letters flush with the white covering.  You couldn't wear the letter off without sandpaper or a file.yes 

    I worked for Harris Intertype (made newspaper typesetting machines and early word processors) for a while.  One day someone came into the lab with a gallon sized plastic bag full of miscellaneous keycaps.  We all dove into the bag and picked out our names or other desired phrases.  Somewhere around here I still have my full name in a matched set of 1970s keycaps.cool

    The issue with people wanting an Any Key predates the Simpsons, I'm pretty sure.

  • So yesterday I got the forsaken temple for $16.47. I wake up this morning and it's been corrected and is now free. What should I do to get my money back? Ask for a refund or send a ticket for a price correction (in which will get my money back)?

    Check you don't already have a refund in your store credit, if not then yes open a ticket though if you let us know we can ask if Daz is planning to do an automatic adjustment for all.

    i already opened a refund ticket since i used my PayPal ballance and i would benefit with getting my money back since it's the only way i can purchase things online due to not having a credit card. if it runs out stuff like subscriptions (PlayStation Plus, Xbox Live, etc) would expire until i could obtain a refill of my PayPal ballance.

    I'm getting frustrated with two separate sites.  The daz store won't take my coupon.  Another site takes a different coupon but won't let me check out.

    From your post in the PC forum it looks like you were trying to apply it to a Fast Grab item and they are excluded.

    Wish they put something on the product to let me know.

    I am getting frustrated.  I am being told to arrange my room.  That is fine and dandy but after I do that, the next day it gets moved again by the person ordering me around.

    Semi Complaint : Well my house was built in 1935 ,my son did alot of repair on it when he bought it .For awhile now there has been some issues with the water ,the washing machine was slow to fill ,the toilet was slow ,then there were the noises coming from under the house ,rain on metal ,hissing noise that got louder .So I called a plumber out ,1st one never showed ,so I called a second one ,they came out ,found the leak fixed it ,but when the water was turned back on the main line busted ,very corroded old cast iron from the look of it ,so have to have the plumbers out to run a new line ,and they do, now the frikkin pump is acting up.....it's like a cascade of aged out sh---!!and no I don't think the plumbers are breaking anything , it's just old house
