I thought you might have been referring to an HP **L** aser **J** et printer. Sorry, I’m keeping the one I have, but I _do_ have a couple of old 9-pin dot matrix printers sitting around collecting dust. 😃 ---

I use UJournal, which has a LiveJournal format, but doesn’t need a form of payment or access code to join it… if you want extra features that are an upgrade from basic LiveJournal stuff, you can pay for it as well… [http://www.ujournal.org](http://www.ujournal.org) Have fun. ---

The nice thing about LiveJournal is that there a lot of SDMB folk who have journals there. It can be a nice way to stay in touch and learn more about Dopers whom you admire or wish to get to know better. I’ve got some codes, too, if anyone is interested. ---

I made the mistake of posting that I had codes on an ezboard back in August. I ended up giving out over 200 codes before I finally had them delete the thread. I still have people emailing me because that thread shows up high in google searches. You may want to say l i v e j o u r n a l c o d e s or something. Just a warning 🙂 I do always have a very small supply set aside for friends, btw. ---

I figured you wanted a Lip Job, in which case I say “Go see Steve Spurrier”. Did you see the exasperated Lip Job he gave on the sidelines several weeks back? Man, I’m straight and it made me hot! ---

Okay, I’ve now discovered that I have the message board equivalent of B.O. but won’t somebody let me have a code for LiveJournal? Anyone? I’m willing to donate chocolate… Oh well, if anybody needs me I’ll be here in the corner sulking. :mad: ---

Aha! I now have precious codes! Two of 'em! If **Washte** is _very_ nice she may have one (an LJ for a BJ perhaps). And if you two ladies would care to email your adresses to me, I shall provide you with chocolate - Your emails were 2:30 minutes apart btw.

Coincidentally, Cranky and I live extremely nearby each other. (Note the location under our usernames.) So I vote you send the chocolate TO ME and I will share. Maybe. Hee hee. ---
