Hello and thank you for reading. I am Robert from Michigan. In 2000 - 01 I left a gear shop job to pursue a Cosmetology License. I attended 800 of 1500 hours but because of not being able to find a job and attempting to pay my own way and other personal issues with being shy and such I could not finish. Its now years later and I am purging myself of all the issues that held me back before. I am not letting fear, anger, regret, or other negativity keep me from getting that licnese and then going on to make people happy with my ability to help with not just their outer beauty but how they feel on the inside. I want to finish this time and go on from there to maybe teach, own a salon, or apply myself to something I haven't thought of yet. But I need to finish. So I'm starting a blog just like I did last time. And I'm going to share the past, present, and hopefully future here. I am now a student once again at Regency Beauty Institute - Shelby Township, MI aka Lakeside Campus. Thank you again for being here and reading. ~ Wishing You No Tangles ~ Robert / PurpleBubba

Time to Inkorporate a Printer

So after browsing the sales, asking on forums, getting help from others and all that good stuff I went today and got a coupon maker. So my first printer in over 10 years is the HP LaserJet p1102w B&W
Took me 4 hours to get the thing to install because it kept telling me the USB wasn't connected halfway through even though it was connected enough to detect it to start the installation. Finally after restarting the computer the hardware detector detected it and it finished. Its not as quiet as I'd hoped for. Maybe the Samsung would've been quieter. But at least now I've got something to use, to use up, and then decide whether to buy ink or trade in on one of those $50 toward offers.

Now I get to go get oogly eyed on the coupon sites and get the coupons I'm tired of waiting for in the paper. When you go away from couponing for a few years and come back it sucks when half the good coupons aren't in the paper anymore. Hopefully the ones I want aren't all the while supplies last on Facebook kind. Maybe I'll have to write some letters or something.

But I'm glad I can type up a list of the coupons I have and print it out to take with me.
Thanks again to anyone who helped me with the printer recs. :)

  1. Well I didn't make fire or talk to a volleyball but I succesfully printed my first coupons from the Coffee Mate site

  2. So glad you were able to get a printer. I think it will save you a lot of money in the long run. Staples frequently has reams of paper for free or for $1 after rebate, so that will help you save money on the paper. I try to post them whenever I find them. They also have a rewards program and you can get money back for paper and ink purchases.

  3. So far I'm only in the Office Depot program since I got the printer there. But I do have the printed q for $1 off HP Paper
