You may want to check that first. I'm pretty sure that Goodwill hasn't taken typewriters and VHS tapes for some time now.

Of course every one might be a little different in that.

I kind of want a cheap VCR. Mrs. Velo has pretty much every Disney animated feature released prior to 1990 on VHS and it would be nice if they could be watched rather than just gathering dust.
Yeah - different ones take different items. I think it's kind of hit & miss, depending on what kind of stuff they can move.

They're discussing having my upcoming project in Houston instead of Phoenix....

I have a task at work that involves a benefit related to Cobra . . . and this one guy keeps leaving me messages and emails asking about "his COBRA enrollment" and "his COBRA benefits"

All I can think of is that he must be joining COBRA Commander, Destro, etc.

I mean, they are a terrorist organization who's goal is to take over the world, but man, they have good insurance!!!

It's scary to me that I'm in the 2%.

"taped" is easier than "videoed" or "recorded" or "downloaded". I think it's a part of the lexicon that will take a long time to die out.
Yes - I say "taped". ;)

People are lazy. Also, people understand what you mean when you say it. I don't think I've heard anyone say recorded...etc. I have heard Tivi'd before. ** I really don't know the spelling.

There are places that might be able to copy them over. I think there's one on main street in Ames.

As someone who has now lived in Houston for 6 months...

Yeah. I gotta agree with you there. If it weren't the project ( $600m bridge) that I'm working on I can think of zero reasons to live in this city.

The worst part is that its in the Woodlands. So it's gonna be a snooze fest

At parents doing our laundry since our washer is broken. So far I am getting anxiety from not having a countdown timer and ran the dryer for an hour before realizing it is on some cool setting and the clothes were not dry.
