I was printing out some school papers for the kids yesterday and getting through it pretty quickly when all of a sudden the printer just stopped…no noise, no errors, nothing…it just stopped.

I tried everything to fix it, I reset everything, shut it off, turned it back on, unplugged it, looked it up on the internet….nothing worked. So…now I’m looking for a new printer. Any thoughts?

I did look at Buy.com and found a Brother HL-5240 High-Speed Desktop Office Laser Printer. It looks nice…and is at a great price. Buy.com is usually pretty great about their prices! (Take a look at their sale, too!)

I really need a printer that can handle the many, many copies I make each day. I think that one may be able to handle it!

On a side note…my poison sumac is getting much better. It’s no longer on my face…only my arms, hands and legs. I was always told you couldn’t get poison sumac (or poison ivy or poison oak) on the palms of your hands…well, I beg to differ! I have posion sumac on the palm of my right hand and on the bottom of my pinky finger…I think that is the spot that hurts the most. Because of the swelling I can hardly bend that finger.

Thanks to all of you who have emailed me asking how I’m feeling!
