I had been forcibly retired due to illness almost a year when I turned 55. Nobody should have to retire that young if they don’t want to.

I am so cold!!

[Tax-chick]

I turned on the fake fire when I got up.

Leaving in a few minutes for the DMV with Vlad, after checking his teeth carefully.

[ArGee]

It appears to be “Escape to the Chateau”.

[ArGee]

Good morning. Happy Wednesday. Happy St. Patrick’s Day. I’m sure there are other things to celebrate today. Enjoy!

[Monkey Face]

I always celebrate being able to wake up in my own bed, to find that no catastrophes have happened to me during the night. It could happen.

Happy St Paddy’s Wednesday!

[Monkey Face]

Wow. I never knew there were so many streaming TV channels! Of course, my highest cost is the internet, and I’d probably only save $20-30 by going to streaming TV. But then, I wouldn’t have to go to the library, either, since I can’t order online any more.

I got rid of Firefox, which I thought was the reason, but Edge is worse, so I don’t know where to look. Firewall, maybe?

The Chateau series was seven years, so it may be worth watching, but there were only a few episodes a year. Now I’m thinking...not a good sign — it always gets me into trouble. ;o]

[Covenantor]

A good morning tot of a most excellent Irish spirits for your coffee...a fine wake me up...

[Monkey Face]

I’m sorry, but my body can’t handle whiskey. Kinda like Kim Basinger in “Blind Date.”

But thanks, and happy Irish day to you! I’ll celebrate my heritage!

[Tax-chick]

Good morning again. I want to go to a chateau and drink whiskey!

Vlad got an ID card - well, a promise that one will be mailed eventually - and my fellow citizens freezing in the drizzle on the doorstep of the DMV plotted the overthrow of the government by force or subversion.

[Monkey Face]

...fellow citizens freezing in the drizzle on the doorstep of the DMV plotted the overthrow of the government by force or subversion.

They always seem to wait until they're on the steps of the DMV before plotting that perpetual, unfinished overthrow.

At least Vlad is legal, now.

[Tax-chick]

One lady figured she had nothing better to do than ask to see the station supervisor to explain that the person at the door was incredibly rude. It probably didn’t do any good, but she got to go inside and get her feet warm, maybe even use the bathroom.

There were dots on the cement where the petitioners were supposed to stand and wait, but at one point, some people were in a line at least six feet apart but not on the dots, and the woman stuck her head out the door and barked, “You have to stand on the dots!”

[Monkey Face]

Some people just aren’t happy unless they’re complaining.

As for the gal who yelled out the door about standing on the dots, she probably showers with her mask on.

[Tax-chick]

They are absolutely loo-loo at the Monroe DMV.

[Monkey Face]

I think the people here will be more than happy for the mask mandate to be lifted. It can’t happen too soon for me.

[Tax-chick]

It’s a nuisance.

[Monkey Face]

The clerks in the stores don’t wear their masks much, these days.

I’ve been trying to clean the print heads for the last hour and I’m still not getting very far. Only black and yellow are visible and those aren’t the colors I need.

I think I’ve run through the program six times. Unngh.

[Covenantor]

Try a spot of rubbing alcohol wipe over the print heads...works well on ball gel pen points that have sat around too long.

[ArGee]

My family was thinking only 3 episodes per year but apparently the count goes up.

[Monkey Face]

Yep, that looks about right. At least for the first few years, anyway. A lot of them increase the episode count when the shows begins to gain in popularity.

[Monkey Face]

Print heads are located where? I mean, I know where to put the cartridges in but I don’t know where the print heads are located in relation to the cartridge chamber.

Will I see them if I take the back off?
