   the viewable front surface in the clip is about the size of a saltine cracker at most- excluding depth. did I mention it's at least silver plate?

   no, but I'd guess this for the breakfast table- perhaps lunch- but did more than hold something to be poured. small gravy holder sized, nice handle

   goody.. are you saying that you really don't know what it is either?? Maybe it's something to pick something up with, like perhaps French toast, since you mention 'clip'.

   the clip of picture. no, I know what it is, not just to pick something up with (though it does- after doing the first part of it's job.) It's an older, less common variation on a common kitchen implement, and you've now seen both ends- the handle is opposite the grille.

    Is it a strainer/ladle sort of thing?

    weeeell, yes. but that's it's secondary job.

    modern relatives doing the primary job are relegated to the kitchen, and have morphed through glass to plastic.

    this harks back to the days before 'fresh' moved from the table to the carton.

    yes, it's an olde southe (well. it could be) OJ fresh-at-the-table juicer, complete with seed strainer.

    here's a couple of macros of a moth that dropped in, some birds swirling around an I-5 bridge, and a few grapes I rescued from the blackberries.

    you're welcome. I'm back on the slide track, setting up a solid slide holder and then fine-tuning it for parallax.

    You sound like the rest of us.. too many irons in the fire! Do you realize I've not yet used the printer for anything but regular printing that I originally bought specifically for doing negatives and photos with?

    I have the incentive of wanting to be ready if he packs a crate with slides and ships it this way as soon as he gets home from the land of the switzer.

    I have personal, painful experience of being underprepared when "a handful" became "a handful of hundreds" in just the wrong moment in time/now. Lots of it. I have it to the point that hundreds would merely be tedious, and winnow out all but a couple-four dozen leakers that need reshot, layered, composited... all but the first not needing the slides, so they go in my safe.

    I have an epson Photo 870 printer- no ink and all the good paper unusable.

    Oh, my, why would I have any trouble shrinking my credulity that far, so as to disbelieve you?

    and, alas, disabled <> simple. though in some ways I really have to thank gary for tossing me so many curveballs to keep me unviolently insane. It's better than watching glue dry on the new handle I have to put on my vine-killer.

    Sounds like Gary is keeping you in line! And you already wore out the handle on your vine killer?? Is glue going to keep the new one on? Maybe also need to drive a nail into it down near where it's attached, if there's a hole to drive it through on the metal part. I've had to do that with rakes.

    taking this over to: WARNING: DO NOT READ

    Copmom, The same for me; though it's been over four years since I bought my scanner/printer to copy all my old slides and negatives, but I've only actually got around to doing a few since getting it. Now I'm on the verge of scrapping the thing because of its size and the cost of the inks that I have to use. It takes six separate cartridges. If any one cartridge becomes empty, I have to change it before I can continue printing, even if I only want to print a text document in black and yet it may be the light cyan that’s out. Then when the new cartridge is placed in the rack, it has to be charged. However, all six cartridges recharge each time I do this; wasting costly ink. Because the colors run out at different times, I've calculated (after taking readings of all the cartridges percentage contents each time I've had to replace an empty cartridge {this must sound like I'm a total geek – okay, I am – just about}), that 20% of the ink is wasted in this way. Then a further 10% is wasted in cleaning the printer nozzles following a few weeks of non use.

    I’ve tried using the cheap inks, but when I print out a photo, the images tend to be very dark, so I have to burn out the image sing something like Photoshop’s before I can get an anywhere near a decent printed image; yet if I use the ‘official ‘ inks, they are perfect every time

    I wish I'd bought a separate scanner and printer now as the printer was quite an expensive one at the time (I paid almost $700 for it four years ago - but have probably spent more on ink since, lol)

    Please excuse the hijacking of the thread.

    Regards

    Stephen

    Stephen.. you've exactly described my gripe! Just yesterday I had to run to Wal-Mart to get ink since the black was blinking empty! Even though I ONLY want to print in black, it still uses the colors as well! And.. it's cheaper to buy the whole pkg. of all the colors instead of 1 color alone. The whole 6 pack was $32.50, (of course they stuck a batch of 4x6 photo paper in there too), but the black alone is $20, and each individual color is $9.99. So, this time I did buy a 6 pack + 1 black. Still have spare color ones that haven't run out yet from previous purchases! (Yellow, dark blue, magenta). When I told hubby I needed more ink, he said "again"?? Seems the black goes at least once a month. On my older HP that doesn't take all those cartridges the black only printed in black and lasted lots longer! I gave my daughter my HP822 since hers broke, so now I have two 4 in 1's .. might switch the 2 machines to get more use out of the regular black and keep this fancy one just for photos and recieving faxes! Don't have room to put them side by side here!

    sorry, this is far older, but there are several pet-use descendants available, though 'pet' wasn't in the oem job description. this was for plant use, though animal ones were to be had.
