All you librarians out there, Unshelved is a pretty darn good comic strip for librarians and those working in libraries.

we had to use mail merge at work to send out to like 3-5,000 letters. I hated it, but I suppose it did save a lot of time.

Yeah, we used it to create about 8000 login/password letters for students. I wrote instructions for the campuses to do it themselves.

Question, Daj.
I print labels for my hanging files. But you're only supposed to send those sticky pages through the printer once. So if I only want to make one or two labels, that means I have to throw the rest of the page away?

Eh, I run them through multiple times. They will darken a bit each time. I can usually run them through about 3-4 times before I throw them out. I also save mine to print more at once. I'll use small post-it notes until I print the labels.

BTW, you know you can buy hanging folder inserts for printers. I use them all the time at work.

Don't you just write on those inserts? I type on the ones that go through the printer (not type on them, but through the computer).

I have 3 lateral file cabinets full of folders. It's easier for me to read if they're consistent so I print them on my laser printer.

Here's what I'm talking about

You must be talking file folders, not hanging folders if you are using sticky (mailing) labels.

No, I'm talking hanging folders. They come with the clear plastic thingies and perforated paper inserts. I may have to go to Staples and start asking questions.

Hmmmm, I don't use sticky labels for those. You might look at the inserts.

Again, I do save them up and print a batch at a time. I can run those sheets (as on my link) through with about 4-5 rows torn off the bottom but anything shorter than that jams. The tiny post-it notes fit inside them perfectly to tide me over until I print a batch.

I think I'd make a mess of that. I don't know how to know where to print. Jeez, I know that sounds weird.

The tmeplate is a table that looks exactly like the sheet. Just fill it from teh bottom instead of the top. It's easy. If you can't find the template, I can send it to you although the directions in the packet tell you where to get it.

Should the template have come with the files or is it online? Like under "Envelopes and Labels"? I thought most of those were Avery.

Well, I hope by now. If he didn't he has been wandering the highways for an entire week!

Yes, his latest crisis was he turned 21 and his new drivers license didn't come.
How would he buy beer?????
Ummmm, get Dan to buy it, like you always do? (he was the first one to turn 21)
But, he has classes till late!!!
Don't buy beer. It isn' t like you never drank before.
I was then declared hopelessly not understanding the life of a college student.

His license came in the mail that afternoon and I priority mailed it up to him.
Cost an arm and a leg.
I wonder if he ever went to the mail box to get it?

You're a good mom. I'm convinced that most of my gray hairs came when son turned into a teenager.

I came to one conclusion today. Boy with hose doesn't bode well for mom. We both came in from cleaning the pool filter soaking wet. He gave me "WET BUTT!" first, then I drenched him, then he got me good. At that point, I declared truce.

My older son wasn't allowed near hoses. He couldn't resist. I don't think if his life depended on it that he could resist. According to his kids, he's still like that.

No kidding. Orc was videoing both girls running through the house each pushing a toy (baby had a walk-behind toy, and toddler had a doll stroller). Our house isn't that wide, they kept running into each other.

11 months. She has been capable of walking for several months now (oldest walked at 9.5 months). We were beginning to wonder what it was going to take to get her confident in herself, and today she did.
