That sux HD....I think what's more scary is that it isn't your fault and say someone did this with multiple q's of yours....ie: certain cashier *knows* that you always have super-good q's and takes them at the end of your transaction or something similar (I would think that would make their drawer short or something and make it impossible but ya never know) and you are held responsible Huh Doesn't seem right to me that it traces back to you. Hopefully it was just an isolated incident and things will get fixed soon hug
I would think that where they were redeemed would count for something. If it did happen from the redemption center they should be able to see what 'state' the coupons were used in.

I thought I saw someone post in here that if the walmart peeps ask for the receipt when you walk out that you don't have to comply. Well, I did that tonight. She followed me out of the store and I basically told her that she could shove it up her ass. DH was none impressed but I really don't care. Really. Don't. Care.
Cool You go girl!

Quote from HDDVDTV :
Has anyone ever received this message when trying to print from smartsource.com? I certainly have not copied any coupons.

"Printing Disabled on this Computer".

"The most likely reason you are receiving this message is someone copied one or more coupons printed from this computer. That is a violation of the expressed legal terms printed on all coupons.

It may not have been you or someone in your household. Coupons are handled by many people as they are processed. Unfortunately sometimes "malredemption" occurs. A quick Internet search will provide numerous articles on retailers being caught attempting to "work the system".

In order to protect the brand we have placed a temporary hold on printing from this computer. If you feel this hold is in error - perhaps caused by someone after you redeemed the coupon - please send an email to webmaster at smartsource.net. The error message should include a code. It is important that you include that code in your correspondence. The subject line MUST READ "Printing Disabled Help".
That is OMG I would wonder how you have gotten targeted. Is it a link you know is real and verified that you are printing from? Have you sent out any IPs lately to people? Otherwise, maybe some cashier saw a great SS IP you had, pocketed it, and copied it (several times, to get that message).

bunnies --- you make me LOL....dh probably wonders what the heck I am laughing about while being at my computerTeehee

Still in the lead this AM! woot woot
PM me the link, I will try voting tonight from my VMs.

Sorry to hear about it tn_native. Hopefully all ends up well, even if it doesn't seem like it may now hug

Ank - you need to check your face. A friend (well, husband's bff's wife), had that problem after giving birth. She was having a little bell's palsy (it's pretty common after giving birth). If it's just on one side of your face, look in the mirror, and try to see if anything on that one side is drooping at all. She figured it out, because she could no longer close one eye all the way. It's temp. and they have medicine to help, but it's an easy check. Smilie

Jamie- Orientation is about 4 hours, if you get this before you leave.



I never cook the stuffing in the bird. I guess because of Alton Brown. Watch his Thanksgiving episode about cooking turkey. I think the recipe is called "Good Eats Roast Turkey" I cooked it that way once, and I will never cook Turkey another way again.
Just bookmarked this Whee I'm in charge of the bird every turkey day, so I'll try this for this year

Quote from rachael_9667 :
Speaking of Thanksgiving - I wanted to share this life-changing recipe [allrecipes.com] for your leftovers the next day. I have no idea what it is for no-carbers but it isn't THAT unhealthy and oh my word, it is delicious! I cook turkey throughout the year now just so we can have this soup. yummy
And....bookmarked this for the next day Roll

Cali- glad to hear your spirits are up!
Ank, how's the headache? I have terrible floaters, but nothing they can do. I don't wear glasses, but get my eyes checked every 2 years just in case.
Everyone- have a wonderful day! I'm just waiting on the surgeon's office to schedule the MRI for DS's knee.

Personally, I think most *coupon fraud* occurs from the store not it's customers.

At the local grocery store, I have had more than my fair share of a supervisor taking the coupons and printing a duplicate receipt. .....and that is AFTER they scrutinize the heck out of them still standing at the register.

It can only be one of two things, they are so positive you are ripping them off and they can't see it or they want to replicate the deal later; ......... I tend to think they want to replicate the deal. I mean when a simple transaction turns into a 20 minute ordeal and you still can't find anything wrong, why are you taking the coupons???Confused

*snip*
Teehee I clicked on the link; I dunno if I can keep up with another thread though, TCC is taking it all outta me Rofl2

I've done some photo gifts....I am more of a 'print-it-and-put-it-in-a-nice-frame-cheap-from-Kohls' sort of gal Smilie Of course if a good deal comes along I've made something occasionally. For 4x6's I usually just wait until something comes along....last time it was 200 prints from Pampers GTG + another deal came along from SF for 50 free prints or something so I got a bunch printed. Otherwise I order most other sizes from a professional lab because the coloring of the photos is much better IMHO and sometimes their prices are cheaper than SF or the like anyway. I shoot occasional sessions for friends and my brother orders a lot so I can just tack my orders on with those. Shipping is super cheap too --- shipping kills me on SF Faint Do they ever have decent deals on shipping costs???

Iagree and yet customers take the fall, like always. Coupons spread like wildfire on the internet? Claim fraud and make it look like the consumer is at fault.

Drawers get pulled, somebody has to do up the deposit bag, pull the coupons to go where ever, close the days business, etc. Easy enough for the office person doing that to spot a good one, copy it, put it where it is supposed to go. They may or may not even know any better, the rational being you can print it online, so you can print as many as you want.

Three others from IA besides me and tm4d. Who knew? How about Arts Cow. I have ordered several things from them and been please. Lots of cheap deals -- including shipping. I LOVE the photo books. I think if I had babies I would be doing a whole lot of those.

I have considered pulling out my kids baby pictures, scanning, and making books for them. Maybe do a Babies First Year then a couple more for older pictures. It's all that damn scanning that stops me. And, then, I also wonder what the photo quality would be.

My daughter's Senior Pictures are done in photo book. I love it. Then we had a couple more printed with fewer pages for the grandparents. My mom was thoroughly impressed.
Quote from thismom4deals :

Most of the Arts Cow deals are free shipping. There is one now for three cosmetic bags - any size - for $8 shipped. I thought they would be really cute done for kids and personalized for crayons, markers, etc. You could even scan a picture they colored and have it put on them.

The dog tags are pretty cool for actual tags for your dog -- they have a bone shaped one. We did the normal "Army" shaped kind with a picture of the Duster and info on it for a keychain. Those are $1.99 shipped. Oh yeah, I did a deck of cards for a niece and nephew. We took a trip to visit them and did some stuff -- canoe trip, shooting, etc. with them. I used the pictures on the cards. They absolutely loved them. (54 different pics on the cards, then one photo for the back of all the cards) Those were $3 shipped.
