Jesse, we found a great printer, copier, fax thingie at Target for less than $90. It's odd how you never need a printer until you have one.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, they're pretty cheap -- I just saw one that looked decent for $50. But, you know, I could use the fifty bucks for something else if it's just going to sit there. I guess I'll see if I get caught up in the store....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It is a big fancy showerhead, and one I like, to boot (see above re: pretty). So no replacing for me. Hanging a bucket won't work because of the angles and distances involved. The bag has potential-if I have any bags that strong. Or just working out my arms.. Because they're not sore or anything.

Surely you have friends with a printer, Jesse? I'd use the $50 for more fun things.
I just got an email on my neighborhood list-serv advertising stuff for sale. Not uncommon, but the woman mentions that one reason they have so much stuff is she just married a man who has 4-year-old quadruplets from his first marriage. If there was ever anything that would be a hindrance to dating, the possession of four four year olds would surely be it. And yet this man succeeded. There is hope for us all.

If you do detatch it, be sure you have plumbers' tape (or pipe dope) handy for when you put it back on. It's really cheap.

Quadruplets? DAMN.

The issue is the right-here-ness, which none of my friends are. Like when I have an interview in an hour and realize I don't have a hard-copy resume. Otherwise, printing at school is fine.

Thrive to spite them
ita --- I've used vinegar to clean my shower heads. I put the vinegar in a plastic baggie and then duct taped that to the shower and let it soak in that, and then used a toothbrush to scrub the shower head really well. It worked really well. Getting the duct tape off was a kind of a pain, but it was worth it to have a useable shower head.
Jesse-- is there a freecycle email group for your area? You might want to try that and request a printer or see if anyone is giving one away.

Ooh, good call, you guys. Will attempt to attain free printer.

I've used regular counter cleaner stuff and ... that's probably about it. Any ideas?
lisah, I would use any juice from a citrus fruit. Lemon or orange work like magic on that stuff.
