I can't recall purchasing anything online I didn't need or use often.
Now, when I'm physically in a store that's a completely different story. It's that in-the-moment choices that get me in trouble.
I try to keep my shopping online when possible.

This is for everyone, but are you on BookBub's e-mail list? You sign up and do a little survey of what kinds of books you like, and you get a daily e-mail with discounted/free e-books in the genres you choose. Then you can have them sent straight to the device you read from.

...and done being off-topic!

Security cameras for my father.

The cameras themselves were actually really nice. Wireless, infra-red capab;e and crystal clear sound.

The software that came with them was made of fail. Roast fail on a bed of wilted failed with fail sauce and a side of lose.

Lol, there's nothing like sketchy computer tech to get the blood boiling ;-)

We bought that at the parts store. Still a total fail. Next step, after market lights that fit into the fog light space. That way we don't have to run a switch. Whoever decided to have the lows go off when the weak highs come on should be drawn, quartered and then shot.

Sometimes I get extra copies of books that I already have...just pass them down to Lizard to read. I am trying to have her love science fiction and fantasy...she has all of my Harry Potter movies and books.

4th season of True Blood...I just can't find the time for a marathon watching. Even the popcorn is telling me to watch it when Mom goes back to Arkansas.

I bought some type of egg cooker. I don't remember exactly what it was supposed to do but I do remember throwing it away. It didn't work.
