When I bought my laptop I got a free Canon Pixma ip 1500 photo printer. It's unused and unopened in the box. If anyfur wants it I'd give it away for the cost of shipping. It does 4800x1500 dpi, and can print color photos up to 7 pages per minute.

Funnily enough, I ended up in the same place as she did:

You fit in with:
Spiritualism

Your ideals are mostly spiritual, but in an individualistic way. While spirituality is very important in your life, organized religion itself may not be for you. It is best for you to seek these things on your own terms.

60% spiritual.
60% reason-oriented.

He's resting in a patient room. He had so much trouble sleeping that they sedated him. They have completed the tests and sent the results over to his GP -- a very capable and caring doctor. So we probably won't know anything until tonight or tomorrow. Whatever the case at least it wasn't serious enough to put him in the ICU or anything like ( Read more... )

My Mom *emailed* me to tell me that my Dad had fallen in the bathroom last night, and had to go to the ER on advice of his doctor this morning. He's still there, and we know nothing yet. Despite the promise I extracted from him some time ago, the stubborn fool drove *himself* to the hospital instead of calling an ambulance. Damn, the last thing ( Read more... )

Last night, for the furst time since she died, I had a vivid dream of Wabbit. It was a wierd but very pleasant dream. For some reason, the subject of her being deceased didn't even occur to me during the dream. Basically, we'd taped the military doing a big no-no, and they were after us to get our videotape back. We were being quite successful ( Read more... )

I finally got up early and paid all the bills in my "in" box. I hate paying bills; not just because it's money going out, but it's a hassle writing multiple checks at a time. But they all seem to come at the same time. Ho-hum. At least they're done for a while ( Read more... )

Out of the blue, as if in a psychic move, Lady Ursus called. Well, not psychic; she read my LJ and saw how lonely I was. We yerfed for some time, and I asked if she'd like a guest for the afternoon. She said "sure," and I went over. I accompanied her to her doctor's appointment, as we caught up on old times. Then we had fun at Denny's, and ( Read more... )

I'm already making eerie music with my Theremin. I found that table top mounting was not satisfactory so I went to the music store and found a bargain on a mic stand, which the Theremin was already fitted to accept. I'm a happy bear.

Day one at folks' place hasn't been as stressful as I thought. In fact, not at all. I had to get up at 5:30am to make my flight, and the TSA went through my suitcase (but not me, heh). No problems there. But half of the flight was a group of blue-hairs going on a group tour of the NM hot air balloon festival, and mine was the connecting flight ( Read more... )

As I suspected, I fretted about packing for a few days, then finished it in about 1 hour, including the camera equipment, heh. I really must learn not to worry so much. I guess my background in disaster management and planning has bled over into my fursonal life too much; I always plan for the worst, even when it's not called for ( Read more... )
