pRANT

This is a rant about my printer. (I was trying to be clever with my title, get it?)

We bought our HP printer/scanner/copier cheap! (What was it Amber, like $25?) At the time we didn't know we'd have to invest in $15-$20 ink cartridges every month. Those tiny cartridges don't last that long and it doesn't seem like we print all that much.

Take the HP 21 black ink. It is (3/18/09) $18.92 on walmart.com for a 5 ml cartridge. That makes it (check my math) $3.784 per milliliter. There are 3785.4 ml in 1 gallon. That makes black ink $14323.95 per gallon!!!

(Is gold that expensive???)

Do you ever have a conversation inside your head and then ask someone something related to that private conversation? 

Well, that happened last night. Joe and I were laying on the couch after he got home from work. It was getting late, so I told Joe, "I could drag you to the bedroom on the blanket if you want me to."

What he didn't hear was:

I'm really tired. I want Joe to come to bed with me, but he always wants to stay on the couch for a few more minutes and watch TV and relax. I bet I could pull him on the blanket. That way he wouldn't have to stand up and walk on his tired feet. 

We both had a good laugh and I did, in fact, drag him to our bedroom while he laid on top of a blanket. Iron Man here I come!
