super rad!

You know the saying, "Be careful what you wish for?" Well, after I ran out of free return address labels (from non-profit junk mail - thanks!), I started dreaming of getting those Avery kind that you can customize and print out yourself. Lo and behold, my wishes were answered by an anonymous small packet of Avery do it yerself address return sticky labels.

On my first printing run, I got distracted by lunch and hit "print" without lowering the manual feed lid on the printer and walked off. What I ended up with was a ball of self stick address labels spackling the insides of my printer. I cleared the jam and thought all was fine – that is until today when I tried to print again. Like the Aliens monster, partial labels were left behind to form into smaller, shredded versions of the original and got even more stuck than before.

Forty five minutes, 2 screwdrivers, 2 types of tweezers, a #4 Torx bit, and a butter knife later, the jam was cleared. The secret weapon though? Bestine! Seriously, everyone needs to have this stuff in the house for cleaning up sticky messes (sorry, but earth friendly stuff just doesn't cut it). Oh yeah... dermal contact over extended periods of time can damage your kidneys – but it works great!
