2009 NBA Finals

That is just like saying if you act like a moron one day, I can expect you to be a moron for the rest of your life? It's been 14 years. This is a completely different magic team.

Tip!!! When enough is enough?

If she wants to tip, that's fine...what irks me is that she feels obligated even though she doesn't want to...She feels awkward if she doesn't tip...this kind of mentality "worries" me

Tip!!! When enough is enough?

Like I said, tipping those is fine. I don't believe in it but I still tip. If they provide a good service, i guess that's fine. However, tipping starbuck is not one of them....I guess it annoys me to see my gf gets brainwash by cultural influcences at times...

Tip!!! When enough is enough?

So my gf and I went to buy a cup of starbuck the other day and she tipped the guy. For some reason, I sort of went off on her. Look, I'm not cheap. I always tip my fair share at restaurant even though again, I don't believe in it. However, now-a-day, you got to tip the barber, massage...

Well, I ran into a great deal on CL and emailed the person. He wrote back claiming he's currently in New England. I still proceed with caution and here's the quote from his email... About the procedure, things are pretty simple. First I go to Royal Mail with the item and start the delivery...

Is the Canon AIO MP760 good for me?

Thanks guys. He's selling it to me because he's upgrading to a AIO canon MP950 which is quite expensive and chipped. So this gentleman doesn't seem to mind paying for premium ink. Anyways, LL, can you tell me where/what you normal buy for your refill? I've read about hobbiecolor..

Is $100 a bargain or a normal used price for these. I'm asking because the price is still negotiable and I don't want to get ripoff or be unreasonable at the same time.

Does Canon MP160 use chipped ink tanks?

I couldn't find any alternatives to the PG40 cartridge for the canon MP160 like you mention. I guess you meant the newly released CLI-8 cartridge? If so, that won't fit mine. The older MP150 came out a year ago and still no third party cartridge so I guess I'm doomed with this printer.
