At one time I had over the ears headphone that plugged into my cellphone. I loved driving with them on for handsfree calls. This was before bluethooth or smartphones with GPS. I could call Keith to look up directions and get me where I needed to be.

This was also before my hearing went bad and I never felt as if I couldn't hear the traffic. I also wasn't listening to music with them.

I've had several ear pieces for my phones over the years, but they've always been for just one ear, not headphones that go into or over both ears. I never liked the idea of not being able to hear outside noise. Even when I'm walking, I don't like to wear headphones. $:-\$

Well, I must be off. I'm going to see a documentary called What We Left Behind: Looking Back at Deep Space Nine. It was funded through Indiegogo and I was a contributor! My name will be in the end credits...among thousands of others, I'm sure! I hope it'll be good.

Be back later.

I'm home, and have been for a while, but I decided not to go to see the documentary. I was able to watch it by online streaming last week from a link sent to me because of my Indiegogo contribution (I'm also getting a Blu-ray copy when they're released), so I didn't want to pay again to see it, even though that would've been on the big screen.

Instead, I decided to go to Costco and spend my birthday gift card...which I did, and then some. I bought a new Epson WorkForce EcoTank 3750 Special Edition All-in-One Printer With Bonus Black Ink! It's on sale for $50 off, then I had a gift card for $75, so I saved $125! Amazon also has it on sale for $349, which actually is Costco's list price, so I definitely saved there.

This mail thing is driving me bonkers. It's AOL not playing nicely with Mac - if I call they're going to make me nuke all the AOL mailboxes and load them again - but I think this will ultimately just right itself - the most maddening thing is it not synching to the phone.

I first heard of these Epson EcoTank printers last year (or maybe a little before). What's special about them is that they don't have little ink cartridges that cost an arm and a leg. They have built-in reservoirs that you refill from individual bottles that probably cost about $13 each, and can print so many more pages than the tiny little cartridges that come in most printers.

Here's a picture from Costco's listing:

The bottles that come with the printer (one 4-bottle set costs $52.99) are supposed to be the equivalent of 30 regular ink cartridges...which can be as much as $50 EACH!

Good evening.

TCB · « **Reply #161 on:** May 13, 2019, 11:34:25 PM »

That looks like a cool printer, George.

TCB · « **Reply #162 on:** May 13, 2019, 11:34:46 PM »

I had read about them.

TCB · « **Reply #163 on:** May 13, 2019, 11:35:56 PM »

I hate paying those incredible prices for those little replacement inks.

TCB · « **Reply #164 on:** May 13, 2019, 11:37:06 PM »

I look forward to hearing your report on the print quality.

Less expensive, easier than replacing a cartridge, and probably easier to fiind.

Hi, jan, how is life in LaLa Land? Are you feeling any better?

TCB · « **Reply #169 on:** May 13, 2019, 11:50:55 PM »

Nick is still asleep in the living room.

LaLa land is boring. I am doing better. The swelling has gone down enough to be able to see my jawline and lower lip. Still have some pain but nothing like I had. How youse guys?

TCB · « **Reply #171 on:** May 13, 2019, 11:54:04 PM »

I watched THE SECRET LIFE OF PETS the other night on TV. I was rather bored. Perhaps if I had seen it in 3D, it might have been better.

Thanks, Tom. I've wanted one for quite a while now, and finally it was worth it.

I remember when I still had my cat and had an open cat door. I was in the den, looked up and saw a possum waddling down the hall towards my my bedroom. I yelled at it and started to go after it when it turned around and ran back out the cat door. He was a big sucker, too.

A couple of people at work today told me their possum stories.
