How much did you sell your IPad 2 for? how many GB was it?

I have a 32 GB IPad 2 to sell and am wondering how much I could get for it. I have only had it since this Summer and it still has remaining warranty.
Sell it to TP bulb I hear he collects them.

People rent a cabin in the woods, and Dick shoots them in the face thinking they're fowl. There's a large euphemism about democracy and capitalism.


Cool
bulb so that's why F1 is fond of the flick. It's some sort of liberal propaganda

I have this love/hate relationship with my dispatcher. She is the most passive-aggressive person I've ever met in my life, and that's saying a lot because I've met myself a few times! But she loves her job and she works really hard and just wants to make everyone happy.

Anyway she won't ever come out and say that she doesn't like how I've done something - it's always "hey did you check xyz this morning?" And I'm like "um, yes, I check xyz every morning?" And she'll go "oh okay because abc wasn't online..." and then we have a 50-email conversation wherein I try to get her to admit that I screwed up or missed it and she won't come out and say that!

I've told her straight-up she is headed for a lifetime of resentment & ulcers... whenever someone gripes about working extra hours or whatever she goes "it's okay, I'll stay... let me just cancel this doctor's appointment it took me a month to schedule..." or similar (not even kidding, she said those exact words the other day).

I am working so hard not to abuse her good nature & willingness to please but sometimes she makes it almost impossible not to take advantage. "Hey I need to leave early can you cover?" will ALWAYS be met with a big sigh and "okay, no problem." I want to scream in her face "SAY NO IF YOU MEAN NO!" laugh out loud

This is a test for me I can tell. The only reason I can spot this so easily is because I do it myself (but I'm much better at it because I have about 10 years' more experience). Pray for... something. Understanding? Tolerance? Moral fortitude? Gummi bears? Dontknow

I've decided I only like my face when it has an accessory. Beard, sunglasses, maybe a big red clown nose...

I miss my beard so much!

I have an HP all-in-one inkjet. I'm buying ink all the time, I'm going to buy a color laser here soon. I'm pretty tempted by the Konica Minolta 1600W. Probably going to get that or a Samsung.

Do not.....i repeat.....DO NOT buy the Samsung. The wireless functionality on it is shit! I should have done more research before purchasing it. It works fine at first, but then it all of the sudden no longer accepts connections. I can see it, but it doesn't accept a connection from my computer wirelessly. Go with the KM.

Nono It's a metaphor for the horror movie industry. The beasts are the consumers/viewers and the "gov't organization" is Hollywood. They don't have anything original; they just have all of the pieces and arrange them different ways to fit the movie they want to make.

She's getting something out of the behavior- or she wouldn't act that way. Makes her feel wanted? Dedicated?
My Gram is evil passive aggressive and I just barely have any contact with her. I was feeling guilt associated with it one day - then not an hour later she sent me a 'hilarious' email fwd making fun of people who abuse alcohol. Nice touch, Gram Argue guilt alleviated.
If only it were so easy to just limit contact with all of these people in our lives. I'd venture to guess its a lesson in compassion and responsibility for you- feel for her and don't take advantage of it? And try not to spend so much of your time volleying back and forth engaging her?

Well, considering that one doesn't even have wireless, that's really not a concern for me. My router has a USB port I plan to plug it into. Which Samsung are you talking about, though?
