Good morning!
Target has some sort of ink program that is cheaper, I forget what it is, but DD buys ink there when she can. I want to say the container is recycled or something. She uses most of the ink so it works out. If I buy it I just get the regular ink. Lynn, I‘m glad you got your printer working! Impressed!
I agree with Don about keeping it, but how much you wanna bet the one you have now will now go forever! 
We have the big printer that scans and I think works as a Fax. DD showed me recently how to scan using my iPhone and I could hardly believe it! I had a big project to scan and email and for some reason couldn’t use our printer. The iPhone worked beautifully! (Scan in Notes, then download to Saved Files, and can send from there.)
@B&B Your dad sounds like someone I’d love to chat with to hear his life story and how it all went down! One of the things I love best about working with different people all the time, and many returning so there’s familiarity. Which reminds me of something funny that happened recently (and was likely how I lost my debit card). I was driving to the hospital and I saw a patient of mine I’m close with out in the street with his truck half blocking traffic and looking a little frazzled. I pulled up beside him and jokingly gave him a hard time about his bad parking job, then pulled over so we could chat a bit (blocking more traffic ). Just prior to that I had taken my debit out and stuck it in my pocket for easy access to the bank machine when I went in and the distraction must’ve caused me to not put it in my pocket all the way. Anyway, I texted him later to tell him that had made my day! He’d shared some bad news about his family, but his spirit was so strong and bright himself and his philosophy of life just made me smile. He’d fought very hard to be here still, and he acknowledged over and over that he was! (I mean, how many people say every day that they are just happy to be alive? I was with him during some of his worst days, and he was one of the two guys I lent my headphones to as he loved music.) He’d put on some of his best clothes that day I saw him because, well, why not? 
It was such a contrast to see this guy all duded up but a with dressing also hanging off of his neck and another on his chest revealed when he pulled back his shirt to show me, lol, but the best part was that he was just so happy to be alive! Inspirational guy and likely one of my favorite patients ever! (I know your DH is a transplant recipient!)
You guys are right about crossing the picket line - I think that’s why things turned violent yesterday. Not good. (DH just texted me that his delivery truck made it out and should be arriving shortly.) Restaurants probably change their menus if certain dishes require items they can’t easily get or are very expensive. I went by my favorite restaurant that closed recently and it made me a little sad to see that something else is going in there. I’m glad something else is going in, but they’d put so much time and love into the old place. I remember when the kids were little the concept of things closing down or changing names intrigued them. There would be a thousand questions if somewhere shut down and reopened like a place we liked to go, lol.
Well all this talk of weather reminds me of a story I’ve probably told here before, but will tell again. It highlights how the weather changes this time of year so quickly. I was in the hospital for ten days having my twins. When I went in, it was 70 degrees out and I was in shorts. When I came out, it was in the 30s and DH had to bring me some warm clothes and shoes to wear home! Always around this week it’s like that, every year! It’s been sort of nice here, haven’t had to have the heat on for several days which the dogs love because I can keep the sunroom open and they like to lay out there and watch the bunnies and squirrels.
We made the decision we’re going to order out for bday dinner instead of trying to shop and cook with me still on quarantine. It will just be easier. DD stopped at the store for me this morning. I had her buy a dozen boxes of tissues, lol, we are almost completely out. I stock three bathrooms and everyone has some in their room, too, so we go through lots. She brought me a nice donut and made me a coffee. Darn if I tried, but I couldn’t even taste it.
i used all the sprays and cough syrup and all that but everything is still clogged. Oh, well, I have lots to do today. I will pace myself!
Have a good day, everyone!
(Sorry so long!)

Dad saw a mailman who he didn’t recognize when he went outside earlier to get his daily newspaper. We did finally get our ballots along with a bunch of magazines for dad. I got one piece of missing personal mail. We shall see what happens this afternoon. I was going to start marking missing mail on usps along with calling the 800#. Dad was set to go tomorrow to the main post office branch although when he went there last year it resulted in a very long wait for nothing we didn’t already know (not enough mail carriers). Glad he doesn’t need to do that for now. Thank you 
to all of you for your concern and suggestions. It is very strange indeed. Although, as I said, I believe the root cause is postal workers are just so few and sadly poorly supported. Much appreciation to them all along with all delivery folks out there.
so much, Kirby for the article link! From my own experiences, Ralph’s customer service (800#) is wonderful whereas Pavilion’s is often lacking. Both supermarkets are great in store. Dad shops much more often at Ralph’s (at least twice a week) than Pavilions (once a week). It will be interesting to see what happens. Prayers a possible merger will also, of course, provide better support for workers. Our friend Aurora does a fantastic job at Ralph’s that’s for sure. Pavilions bakers do try as well.
at a good price.
Judique, and how thankful to God extra I am that you and a friend will have Disney and other fun next month. Just Googled Cracker Barrel to see whether there were any locations out here. There is one out in Camarillo. As an FYI to all of you, at least pre pandemic, there used to be the Camarillo factory Outlets. Perhaps CB is located near them. Luckyrabbit and Pea that would make your breakfast and shopping meet handy! Prayers you two get to do that! My CB very vague memory only of going to one is from years ago while visiting my grandma when she lived in Houston. I also remember an elderly church friend, Shirley, sharing how much she and her family enjoyed CB and their gift store over the years. Glad that restaurant is a keeper for a lot of you. I do like its creative name! Awesome printer shopping you did!
cozy and stay warm, dear Carol. I still love that your church has a welcome center. Thank you always for volunteering at it. I would love to assist you!
followed by Ralph's. I'm going to start sometime today or tomorrow on reading up on voting choices. I shall check back later. Wishing all of you a great Tuesday.
dear Pollyannamom, I'm glad. 
of course that you are having a great day!
to you both Taz and Snowy and thank you for sharing your beautiful picture with us! Have FUN! So excited that two members of our Quacker family have finally met!
Both of you look relaxed and happy! Were you at Sunshine Seasons?
. I actually would have left that movie and went to another one (wouldn't have said anything to the workers).
