Hi Gramma ... honey,

You almost made me need the TP, reading your post.

I was thinking "White-Out" ... and noticed that you included it.

I was also going to refer to the backward spelling of that fancy water from ... where, France?

You beat me to that, too!

Smart Alex ... or, is that, "Alexandra"?

ole joyful

P.S. Have ya figgered a way to get the gas companies (or would that be the "car" companies) ... to sell ya a car for cheap ...

... so that they tie you into buying their "dear gas"?

Let us know when ya bring that one off, will ya?

P.P.S. Oh ... yeah ... they'd need to be the same company, right?

Oh, dang!!

Back to the drawing board, I guess.

I was just thinking last night about dishwasher rinse aid. I didn't think about it in relation to gasoline, but I looked at that little, rather expensive bottle and wondered how much it cost the manufacturer to produce it. At retail prices, it comes to about $72.00 per gallon.

Hey Ed, I didn't write it, I just shared it with you.

The only one in that list that freaks me out is the WATER!

Except for those who have their own wells or other water source, the majority of us get water through a local system, which we pay for depending on the amount we use. It would be interesting to compare a city water cost per gallon to Naive's $21.19 a gallon.

(I can't do that where I live because water usage is included in the monthly maintenace fee, because water is used for lawn and shrubbery, etc and so that charge is just included to make things simpler.)

I've heard all the reasons why some folks choose to drink bottled water, but I still don't understand that rationale.

I think the printer ink is way out of line. But like they say, it isn't the printer that cost, it's the ink. It's almost cheaper to buy a new printer when yours runs out of ink.

I was going to print this out and take it in to work, but at the price of printers ink I can't affort it. LOL

LOL So true. I guess you could write it out long hand, but why have a printer then.

I heard in a few places that the price of printer cartridge is because the computer chip is in the cartridge. Kodak and I think one other company have come out with a printer that has the chip in the printer. That reduced the price by about $20. That's still high, but much better than the normal prices we've been paying. I don't think the new printers are much more that the old ones. Unfortunately, I found this out a day after I purchased my replacement printer because my old one had run out of ink. Yep, it was cheaper (before I found out about the new types of printers) to buy a new printer than replace the cartridge!! One catch, why does the darn chip cost so much. They should be a dime a dozen by now!
