Note: <888> 11/30/05 Wednesday 2:40 A.M.: The Lexmark X1185 has come down in price, since it is an older item Lexmark X1185 -- Lexmark United States . After the rebate I am getting it is cheaper than what Wal-Mart advertises it for Lexmark X1185 All-in-One Printer, Scanner and Copier - Wal-Mart , since they would have about $7.50 shipping, and I get free shipping. The final fact is that it is all that I can afford in a all in one fax, copier, scanner, and printer, and the fact that I can get the replacement ink cartridges currently at www.ezinkjets.com item Lexmark (2) 10N0016 Black & (1) 10N0026 Color for $56.85 less 40% discount code "FALL40" that ends soon probably at the end of this month for $22.74 off for $34.11 total, it is a better bargain. However, I do have other ink printers and laser printers, so it will not get too much use. This is the promo again Lexmark X85 All in 1 machine does not work that well, I found this bargain for $69.80 Lexmark X1185 All-In-1 Printer, Scanner Copier and Fax with Paper Pack - $10 Mail-In Rebate - HSN and with new customer discount code Home Shopping Network Coupon Codes for HSN.com, Home Shopping Network Coupons and Discounts - CouponCabin.com of "229901" for a $20 discount on a $60 plus purchase and with free shipping , it cost me $49.80 plus there is a $10 mail in rebate, so it will eventually cost me $39.80. Thus for $73.91, I will be getting the new Lexmark X1185 and I will have 2 full size black and 1 half size black and one full size color and one half size color cartridges. Also the X1185 Lexmark X1185 All-In-1 Printer, Scanner Copier and Fax with Paper Pack - $10 Mail-In Rebate - HSN comes with additional software including the fax software, which the Wal-mart version does not seem to have. However, it is not a fax machine. The fax capability works through the computer telephone modem, and since I have Optimum Voice, it does not cost me to send a fax. I guess I could set up my computer to receive faxes, but I do not think I need to do that. CIO

downstairs. I ate breakfast of oatmeal with cinnamon, milk, and a sliced
banana, a toasted bagel with olive oil, vitamins, supplements, a 75% mixture of
cold orange juice with a 25% mixture of cold filtered water, and a cup of
coffee with a package of Splenda and a little bit of
milk in the coffee. I chatted with a relative. Another relative was
traveling today. I moved the white vinegar scent bowl to the left of the
Queen Elizabeth II Life magazine on display on the right side of the window
shelf. I moved the Dolphin florescent lamp to on top of the TEAC DVD
player, and I connected it up with a 15 foot extension cord at that location to
the same switch panel on the Kensington control panel on the window shelf, so
it turns on with the apartment entrance wall switch. I moved the 14 inch
by 11 inch frame of family pictures to the left inside of the apartment
entrance door, and I move the 8 inch by 10 inch family portrait frame to the
right side inside of the apartment entrance door. From the apartment
entrance door, I moved the
www.whitehouse.gov
picture of President and First Lady Bush to above the inside kitchen entrance,
and it hangs down a little bit below the 7 foot high entrance, so if someone
were over 6 foot 8 inches tall, their head might hit it and knock it off.
I moved the Visioneer 4400 scanner from the back of
the green living room sofa to on top of two hard place mats on top of the 17
inch Dell monitor on the left side of the bedroom desk, and the scanner is
connected up to the Dell backup L1000R computer. I only have two USB
ports on that CPU, so I connected the Epson 900 printer to the Microsoft
keyboard USB port. I set up the Epson 900 printer again with its status
monitor, and I setup the Visioneer 4400 scanner
software, and it all works fine. I labeled the switches on the
lower control panel that turns it on and off. I moved the Lexmark X85 all
in one printer, scanner, copier, and fax machine that has empty ink cartridges
from the oak dining table to the window shelf to the right behind of the Northgate
Syntax backup computer, and I installed its software on the Northgate Syntax
backup computer, so it is ready to use on that computer for faxing and scanning
and copying, but one has to print out to one of the other printers available
connected to the Northgate computer. Thus I will not be taking it back to

All-In-1 Printer, I moved the Lexmark X85 printer from the center of the oak
dining table to on top of the HP LaserJet IID printer. I then used a 15
foot and two 4 foot USB extensions, and I connected it up to the Northgate
Syntax backup computer. I tried reinstalling the Lexmark X85 software on
it, but it would not install. I finally figured out the two 4 foot USB
extension cables were not compatible with the 15 foot USB cable. I
connected the 15 foot USB cable directly, and the software installed
fine. I then tested the Lexmark X85 printer, and the color cartridge was
not working, and the black cartridge was faint. I decided not to use it.
I went ahead and repackaged the three cartridges that I got from

I picked up my mail, and my order that I had cancelled from www.ezinkjets.com arrived. It contained the two black ink cartridges that I ordered for the Lexmark X85 all purpose printer, fax, copier and scanner for $34.99 , but they sent a Canon color cartridge by mistake for the color Lexmark replacement cartridge that I had ordered for $20.99 less the 40% discount for the entire order with the "FALL40" coupon for $33.59 total Lexmark X85 EZinkjets.com - Compatible Ink Jet and Toner Printer Cartridges for Canon, Lexmark, HP and Epson Stylus Printers.. I installed one of the black ink Lexmark replacement cartridges, and it worked fine enough. I cleaned the existing color cartridge, and it now works fine enough. Lexmark posts this page Customer Support Lexmark cleaning ink cartridges , but I just soaked the Color ink cartridge that I had cleaned last week in a little bit of isopropyl alcohol, and it worked fine. I ran the alignment and cartridge cleaning cycles, and I set the printer defaults. The Lexmark ink cartridges do not have ink level monitors, so on my ink level software check, it shows both new cartridges are nearly empty, which is not correct. I tried to fix that be reinstalling the driver, but that did not work. The Lexmark X85 printer, copier, scanner, fax machine is now working just fine enough. I have a spare black ink cartridge, and I packaged up the Canon ink cartridge to be sent back postage free for replacement. I will keep the old empty Lexmark ink cartridge in case, I ever buy a black ink replacement system, and I might try to refill the cartridges myself.

cartridge that I cleaned on the Lexmark X85 multipurpose printer, and it does
not work properly. I guess if I were to use it, I would have to buy a new
color and black ink cartridge for it, which at any other sites besides
www.ezinkjets.com would be too expensive or
about $50, which I could by a new one for. Thus I will more than likely
use it as copier and scanner and fax machine, but I will print out its results
with some of my other good printers. There is no purpose in buying just a
black ink cartridge for it. I tried putting some of the spare Epson C80
cartridges in the Epson C80 printer, but it still does not work or recognize
them. Since the printer is a fairly new printer, and it worked initially
when I installed the first set of cartridges, I suspect the cartridges are
defective. This is the cartridge set that I bought for it

made
Scott's Stuffing
Recipe for Arnold Premium Stuffing . I also made up a 6 ounce box of
Near East long grain and wild rice pilaf mix using a tablespoon of olive oil
and following the instructions. I also steamed a cup of baby carrots and
broccoli spears for 15 minutes. I also mixed together and heated a
10.5 ounce can of Campbell's turkey gravy and a 10.5 ounce can of Campbell's
mushroom gravy with a 10 ounce can of Stop and Shop stems and pieces of
mushroom without the liquid for 15 minutes heating time about half of the time
on simmer. I cut two 3/8th inch thick slices of the Boars Head cooked
boneless breast of white turkey meat, and I put it on a microwave proof plate
with microwave plastic lid, and I heated on power level 6 of 10 in the General
Electric microwave oven for 2 minutes. I took the plate with the warm
slices of turkey, and I filled it up with generous portions of the rice and
stuffing, and I put a lot of the gravy over the turkey. I put a little
bit of olive oil on the steamed baby carrots and broccoli in a side dish.
I also had in a side dish 1/3rd of 16 ounce can of cold Ocean Spray whole
cranberry sauces. I put the remaining cranberries, gravy, stuffing,
and rice in separate Rubbermaid containers in the refrigerator. I ate the
meal with a glass of iced tea. I have 15 minutes to go on cooking a Mrs.

hi ... thanks for the email, it
was forwarded on to me here at the Cascades Volcano Observatory ... what you
saw was the ash plume from a rockfall off of Mount
St. Helens dome ... these happen all the time on growing domes ... Mount St.
Helens dome has been having rockfalls and ash plumes
all year ... what was special yesterday was the wonderfully clear weather and
the wind currents taking the ash into the air ... it was very photogenic ...
here's the blurb from today's daily
update:
Two notable rockfalls
occurred yesterday, one just before noon and another shortly after 3:00 PM.
Both produced a dilute ash cloud that rose to a couple of thousand feet above
the crater rim. These types of events are common during dome growth. Seismicity remains unchanged with earthquakes occurring on
average about every one to two minutes.
enjoy your upcoming Thanksgiving,

Note: <888> 11/19/05 Saturday 8:00 A.M.: I woke up at 6 A.M.. I ate breakfast of oatmeal with cinnamon, milk, and a sliced banana, a toasted bagel with olive oil, vitamins, supplements, a 75% mixture of cold orange juice with a 25% mixture of cold filtered water, and a cup of coffee with a package of Splenda and a little bit of milk in the coffee. It was 66 degrees Fahrenheit inside the apartment, so I turned on the heat in the living room, and I set the living room thermostat at 76 degrees Fahrenheit, and I turned on the Lasko box at low speed above the electric radiators to blow the heat around. At that setting it generally keeps the living room area at 70 to 72 degrees Fahrenheit. I also turned on the DeLonghi oil filled radiator at setting medium and level 4 to warm it up a bit quicker. I will turn off the DeLonghi oil filled radiator, when I go out. It is 28 degrees Fahrenheit outside, but this says it is 25 degrees Fahrenheit Greenwich, Connecticut (06830) Conditions & Forecast : Weather Underground . I also set the bedroom thermostat at 60 degrees Fahrenheit. I do not turn on the heater in the bathroom since it uses too much electricity. It is currently 70.3 degrees Fahrenheit in the apartment living room. I could put out the little artificial Christmas tree and pine cone wreath on the door, but I think it is still a bit too early, and I should wait until after Thanksgiving. I have some cans of fruit and other items that are getting a bit old, and I could take them to Neighbor to Neighbor at Christ Church, but for now I will hold off in case I get any hungry visitors. Canned fruit is always useful in making a Jell-O mixture, but I usually do not have room in my refrigerator. I am currently pretty well stocked up on food, however winter is just beginning.

The Toshiba laptop computer has an infrared port and so does the HP LaserJet 6P. I tested them to see if they work. They do work, but it has to be a direct line of site about 5 feet away, and it is very slow. I used the steam zapper, and I cleaned my refrigerator, cutting board, kitchen sink edge, and the oven fan range hood and its filter. The oven fan range hood has a bit of nicotine which is hard to get off, and one has to be careful steam cleaning around electrical connections, but the rest of the items are cleaner. I chatted with a friend whom is going deer hunting. I did my house cleaning and watering the plants. I ate about a half of a jar of Planter's lightly salted dry roasted peanuts.

On the left hallway bookcase, since it is cold, and more than likely in a cold climate the Swedes probably have their own places already, and since the Saudi Arabians can afford to live in warmer areas, I put the Netherlands Dutch tricolor flag back up front of the other two flags. I also moved the 15 inch by 10 inch French tricolor flag from on top of the wine decanter on the Danish bar to on top of the small computer speaker above the left primary computer monitor above the solid oak dining table.

Note: <888> 11/15/05 Tuesday 9:45 P.M.: After cleaning the Lexmark color ink cartridge, the colors seem a little bit lighter, and the yellow has a small bit of a greenish tone, however it is an even cartridge cleaning printout with no lines. Some bubbles did come out of the Lexmark cartridge when I first tried to submerge it before leaving above the surface of the Perrier, so possibly the color ink was slightly corrupted. However, it might look differently once a new black ink cartridge is installed. Still, since I have the other inkjet printers, the Lexmark X85 will be mostly for copying. CIO
Note: <888> 11/15/05 Tuesday 9:10 P.M.: The red ink on the HP DeskJet 840C color ink cartridge was not working properly, so I used this method again to clean it Michael Louis Scott, How to Clean and Hewlett Packard HP clogged inkjet print cartridge with print head in cartridge . However, this time after soaking the print head with lighter fluid, I let is sit on a paper towel with isopropyl alcohol for ten minutes before completing the procedure. I also used enough hot Perrier in the cup, so the entire cartridge, but the top was covered, and I soaked it in the Perrier for 10 minutes. I do not cover the top with Perrier, since the cartridges have small vents at the top, and I do not want Perrier to get in the ink. After soaking it, I lightly dried it except the contacts and print head, and I shook it vigorously to mix up the hot ink. The color cartridge is now working properly in the HP DeskJet 840C again. Since it is the original new cartridge that came with the HP DeskJet, I figured it still has a lot of life in it, once I get it working. I will now see if it stays in working order the next few days or week. I am also using the same procedure to clean the almost new color cartridge that is nearly full in the Lexmark X85 inkjet printer, copier, and scanner. I am just about done doing that. CIO

Since the one in it does not seem to be functioning, I might put it in. I also have a replacement black ink cartridge for it when I need it. I made a mistake earlier in my notes and the HP PhotoSmart 1000 ink cartridges are not the same as the HP DeskJet 840C ink cartridges. However, I have a replacement color and black ink cartridge for the HP PhotoSmart 1000. I also have a replacement color and black cartridge for the EpsonStylus Color 900. I also have two color and one black replacement cartridges for the EpsonStylus Color 880 printer. For the EpsonStylus C80 which does not seem to work, I have the three different color cartridges and three black cartridges. Technically the problem with the EpsonStylus C80 might be that it is out of ink, but when I put a new black cartridge in it, it did not seem to work. I do not feel like wasting the ones that I have just to test it, since it looks like it does not work. I also have a few other cartridges for printers that I do not own.

I thus would be able to connect up the cable modem quickly if the power went off. However, I think when the alarm goes off, it might indicate the battery is low on the APC UPS, so I am not sure how much battery power is left in it or not. However, there probably would be enough for a least an hour for the cable modem. The Radio Shack fax switch does not need to be powered for the Optimum Voice cable modem service to work. CIO

Thus if the power ever goes off in the apartment, the elephant light with the 25 watt bulb in it which is always on should stay on for at least a half hour. I could technically connect the cable modem up to it in power failure, so the Optimum Voice would work, but for now I will leave the cable modem connected to the control panel power switch, so I can reset it when I need to reset it. This item is on sale this weekend, and since it weighs 14 pounds its cost of $20 with the sale price of $10 off would offset the $14 shipping, so it would be about $34 500VA/115V 4-Outlet Line Interactive UPS (Black) 500VA , but I am not sure how many watts it can put out. Still if it was not powerful enough to power a computer and monitor, it would power a light for a while. On my old unit, an alarm goes off when it is activated, which is annoying, but it still nice to have backup power on the elephant light which stays on all the time. It has two plugs, so I have the 40 watt reading light plugged into it, but it is turned off, unless I turned it on. CIO

I sorted out the old mail pile on the folding oak table next to my desk, and I put each group of old bills and other mailings in different piles, and I wrapped each pile with a rubber band. I left the sorted mail on the side table. I threw out a lot of the mail that I do not need to keep. I sorted out the periodical literature on the small bookcase inside the bathroom at its entrance, and I stacked the periodicals upright with each end of the row supported by two metal book ends. It is much easier to access the periodical literature, and when it is stacked upright, it will not fall over such as a stack of periodical literature will do when it is stacked flat. CIO

Note: <888> 11/12/05 Saturday 6:40 A.M.: I removed the paper feed tray from the Minolta QMS Pagepro 1250W laser printer, and I took it and its broken part into the kitchen. I had a spare tube of CVS Super Glue Gel. I took four white bread closure tabs, and I cut off their two fork ends, so I had four plastic pieces about .5 inch by 1 inch. I propped up the paper tray so it was facing up wards with broken end up. I clued the broken piece onto its broken end, and I glued one of the broken plastic pieces on either side as a splint. I glued the other two plastic pieces on the other side where it might break at the same location. I used a wooden tooth pick to remove excess glue. I am now letting it dry for an hour to let it dry thoroughly. However, I now have the CVS Super Glue Gel dried on the end of some of my finger tips, and lighter fluid does not remove it. I do not have nail polish remover. CIO
Note: <888> 11/12/05 Saturday 6:05 A.M.: On my Minolta QMS PagePro 1250W laser printer, about a half a year ago, the paper feed tray support arm broke on the right side, so I have it supported with my monitor cleaning sponge. I search it out at http://www.dttservice.com/printers/minoltaqmsprinterparts.html#pagepro1250 , and I got part number "8314127-1108-02" and by searching that part number at http://www.nationalparts.com/extranet/index.asp?PAGE=quicksearch it comes up for sale at $6.77 with a minimum order of $10 from www.nationalparts.com and $8.95 UPS shipping. I originally bought the printer for $150 and received a $60 mailin rebate, so it cost me about $93, and I put in a remanufactured 6,000 sheet cartridge for $73 which has hardly been used. I can not afford to order it the replacement sheet feeder part at the moment. However, I still have the broken part, and I might be able to fix it with crazy clue if I have some.

Note: <888> 11/12/05 Saturday 4:40 A.M.: Of course the good news is that I only drove about 3,000 miles locally this past year, so my Volvo station wagon still has the same Yokohama tires on it with about a quarter of an inch tread, and a Lincoln penny's head still goes below the surface of the tire into the tread. However to be on the safe side, I do not drive on snowy days, and I wait until the roads are plowed which is usually soon, since I live right by U.S. 1 which is plowed first, and it is only a mile to the downtown area. Although the air conditioner in the Volvo quit working late this summer and probably needs to be recharged with Freon this spring, the heater in it works just fine. However, the left windshield wiper blade does not clear the entire window on the left side, so possibly they need to be replaced, but the rubber part looks just fine, so maybe they just need some sort of alignment. Since my personal computer skills at a volunteer level are not considered important for any extra funding from the government, I do not get any extra money for my computer activity, and I still have the computer expenses of about $74 a month on average while still maintaining my overall living environment.

11/12/05 Saturday 4:20 A.M.: Basically over the years, I have not been
able to afford that much electricity to keep warm in the winter, so I have
gotten use to the colder temperatures in my apartment. Thus on the cold
winter days, my apartment is more like the
Ice
Hotel in Sweden , so for now we will keep the Swedish flag flying with the
British Union Jack on the hallway bookcases. We have the permutations and
combinations of either two larger 6 foot by 4 foot British Union Jack or United
States of America Old Glory flags along side the three five foot by three foot
Swedish, Dutch, and Saudi Arabia flags. Of course I have all of the
smaller flags still displayed around the apartment, and they are mostly from
northern countries. However, I do have a pen holder with the Brazilian
flag on it, and I do have a paper weight with the Confederate flag on it.
Thus besides the Saudi Arabian flag, the most southern flag I have along with
those is the Swiss flag. Of course the United States of America does go
further south than Switzerland, but all of those people in the southern part of
the United States of America whose motto is "Dry Fast, Freeze a
Yankee", seem to consume a lot of the energy that we can not afford to use
up north. If one ever goes up to
Note: <888> 11/12/05 Saturday 3:50 A.M.: I was awake at 9 P.M.. I chatted with two relatives. I checked my mail, and I remembered on Veterans Day, there is no delivery because it is a holiday. I ate breakfast of oatmeal with cinnamon, milk, and a sliced banana, a toasted bagel with olive oil, vitamins, supplements, a 75% mixture of cold orange juice with a 25% mixture of cold filtered water, and a cup of coffee with a package of Splenda and a little bit of milk in the coffee. I went back to bed. I woke up at 2 A.M.. I programmed the JVC VCR remote control in the bedroom. I have both the JVC and the RCA remote controls by the night stand in the bedroom. With the JVC remote control, one can press the TV and then Power buttons to turn on the Proscan television. On can then press the TV/VCR button, and it selects the JVC VCR to control the Proscan television which should be on channel 3. Thus with the JVC VCR remote control, one can go up and down the channels that are received with the channel up and down buttons without having to select each channel which is the case with the RCA remote control. Since the JVC VCR is newer than the 12 year old Proscan television, the JVC VCR receives the Digital Cablevision signal which it works with. Thus one can have couch potato comfort watching the television in the bedroom. However, the bedroom television setup does not get as many channels as the digital cablevision television system in the living room. I then moved the two printers off the DeLonghi oil filled radiators that I had stored in the bedroom, and I moved the two DeLonghi oil filled radiators into the living room. I put one at the living room sitting area entrance along side the wood and purple fabric sitting chair, so there is still plenty of room to enter the sitting area. I moved the pair of small brass and glass end tables at the far end of the brass and glass coffee table, so they are nearer to the down sofa. I then put the other DeLonghi oil filled radiator at the far end of the brass and glass coffee table on the window green sofa side along side the small brass and glass end tables. There is enough room to access the chair at that end beneath the stereo system. I have them both connected to heavy duty power cords. I do not turn them on except on very cold days, since they use more electricity for the heat provided compared to the apartment electric radiators. I have not turned the heat on in the apartment, and it is still 71.5 degrees Fahrenheit in the apartment, but I can begin to feel a bit of cooler draft from the colder outside temperatures. I took one of the oak folding tables from the far end of the brass and glass coffee table, and I put it in between the bedroom desk and the bed, and I put the two printers that are connected to the bedroom computer back on the folding oak table. I made my bed, and I washed the breakfast dishes. Although I actually do enjoy watching a bit of television, I have found over the years, I get more done, when I try to think of various chores to do and maintenance activities instead of just watching the television.

I could change the junction underneath the chair underneath the stereo, so they are connected to Verizon, but since it is suppose to be a short outage, I did not. Instead, I connected my Dell L1000R computer in the bedroom to Verizon by adding an extra telephone wire splitter to the Verizon telephone junction beneath the rear chair between the desk and the bureau. I then was able to use Juno to post my latest note through the Verizon telephone network. I use Juno for backup internet connections in case the cable modem fails.

Of course nobody has paid me for any of my 22 years of work here, since I returned to Greenwich, Connecticut where my family has lived in this area for 400 years, and I have a quarter million dollar education by today's standard, but not much recent modern work experience, since mostly I deal with people whom either do not know English very well or whom consider me disabled which I am became from being constantly intimidated by larger people whom were not very smart and seem to drink too much alcohol, but such people manage to make a living swindling older people with modern business technology which is I suppose what the older people did to earn their money. Thus somewhere in the wood work there must be a big fat group of people making all of the money and we just never see them. It seems to me that the medical profession is overpaid for what they actually do and so is the legal profession, but this is probably because higher insurance premiums and other costs in those professions. Thus it is a never ending cycle of robbing Peter to pay Paul. It would seem to me that if there were more accountability and auditing in some of the newer professions in this country more people would suddenly get a real idea as to what they are really worth as opposed to their inflated ideas of themselves. Since whether employed or not, I have managed to keep busy working at my own routines, I manage to get by on my government assistance and a little help from family which is the same case for a great many disabled people. Whatever the case, I would assume since the government seems to spend lots of money on all sorts of frivolous activities, the disabled people no longer have a very strong or influential political lobby, and since they are disabled, they are easily intimidated, but most of them have relatives whom are suppose to help a bit in such political matters. It seems to me the disabled people like the older people sooner or later get left behind in the shuffle by the more modern business orientated young people. The concept of volunteering is not practical for them, since like us, they have bills and expenses to pay, and they too will get older sooner or later.

here in Byram, Connecticut regularly whom was a
neighbor of Helen Clay Frick
The Frick
Collection and Frick Art Reference Library: Home Page , but alas the last
time I was at the Frick about 2.5 years ago was during the G8 conference in
February, and it was not too busy, but there was lots of security, and I recall
noticing one of the urns in the front of the building was developing a small
crack, and it seemed the carpets were a bit thread bare. Otherwise the
place seemed to be in good order. That same day I visited with friends the
Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Asia House along with viewing the Campbell
apartment at Grand Central station and the Yale Club and the boat house in
Central Park and a brief walking tour of the local central park area a longer
walking tour of midtown Manhattan. The IBM lobby was closed for security

I boiled three quarts of water with a teaspoon of olive oil and a dash of sea
salt. I then boiled for 8 minutes a 16 ounce package of Ronzoni #10 vermicelli noodles. I then drained the
water off with a colander into another pot, and I threw the hot water
down the bathroom sink to clean out my shaving soap scum. During the last
five minutes of the boiling, I reheated half of the contents of a 26 ounce jar
of Ragu chunky tomato, garlic, and onion sauce in a microwave proof plastic pot
with lid in the microwave oven. I put half of the cooked spaghetti
noodles in a flat Rubbermaid container in the refrigerator, and the other half
I put on a dinner plate with the heated tomato sauce and a couple of
tablespoons of grated parmesan cheese. I refrigerated the other half of
the tomato sauce in its jar. I ate it all with a glass of iced tea.

since my Budget Amount was raised from $111 a month to $124 a month plus I had
