Something I've never noodled out before is the relative merits and deficiencies of bond weights of paper. Apparently 20 lb paper messes up our laser printer; 24 lb does not.
I am supposed to remember this from an apparent tragic occurrence in my distant past: 20 lb paper messes up the printer, and it's a pain to fix. I only remember this dimly. However, I strongly remember that someone in the family likes really really bright white paper.
I NEVER BUY THE PAPER for the printer. Until last night. When I failed to purchase the correct kind. It's mighty bright though.
Here's a linky that tells me about paper and weights. The metric system has us beaten all to smithereens when it comes to understanding this.
Now that I've been enlightened both as to my terrible memory AND how paper bond weight works, I will gather together the shreds of my tattered pride at coming in $1 under my budget, go and exchange the paper for the PROPER weight (24!!!), ENSURE that it also is bright enough, and peace will reign.
Or maybe not, now that I've posted this.
I sure feel better though.

I just buy paper in a pack that says 'printer paper'. I reckon it's a safe bet.
Are you channeling Irish today?
NB: Not quite sure what 'channeling' means so if I've used it in the wrong context just put it down to my strange English ways.
My dear, departed grandmother would have you know that I AM HALF IRISH.
But I was never Irish enough to please her.
