theelfqueen Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I don't KNOW. I assume it's a birthday present for me -- cause the box says "Merrick - Don't PEEK!" And is addressed to my DH! Before that - a collapsible laundry hamper. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I just looked and, other than a few books (and several Kindle books), all my orders this year have been travel-related. A power converter, a phone charging cable, anti-theft backpack, anti-theft jacket, packing cubes. I do have stainless steel straws sitting in my cart waiting until I get around to actually buying them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Florida. Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Wild bird seed, a pet water fountain, an outdoor security camera (the last one was dh's). Dss also accidentally sent two books meant for the grandsons to our address. We have each other's addresses on our accounts so we can send stuff for gifts. He said it somehow defaulted to our address. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We saw a video of the project in a Mystery Science lesson and were thrilled there was an "exploding something with science" video we hadn't seen yet! I bought two mini watermelons (figured it would be easier for the kids to get rubber bands around a smaller one), and I'm going to take one regular video and one in slo-mo. I'll see if I can figure out how to edit and post it. The first 400+ rubber bands will be pretty boring, haha. 10 hours ago, LifeLovePassion said: Please share the recipe! It's this recipe, without nuts. For my adjustments, I used baker's sugar instead of regular white sugar (I used a Tbsp. or so less than the recipe), a silicone 6-muffin baking pan instead of the regular 12-cup size, set the pan on the bottom half of the oven to avoid over-browning the tops, and sprinkled on a crumble mixture on top (GF instant oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a Tbsp of the flour, with cold butter crumbled in). I think the trick is getting them into a well-sealed container before they are totally cooled off. They are reeeeeeallly good as pumpkin muffins too, with the Enjoy Life chocolate chunks on top instead of the crumble. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TravelingChris Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Can't remember what exactly came last since we weren't ordering for things to arrive while we were in the Smokies last week. What is set to arrive on Monday are new hearing aids (legally called amplifiers) (I got the ones that cost over 600 for a pair but have more controls than my old hearing aids I lost about three years ago that cost 3K). Also getting turmeric capsules, Heliocare (a capsule of a fern that has been shown in Europe to help prevent sun damage), and will be ordering today a folding cane with a seat, international cell phone/Kindle chargers/, and potentially some Coolibar products too for skin protection.

Wheres Toto Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I order a ton of stuff for classes from Amazon. The kids often ask me where I bought something and I almost always answer "Amazon". One of the girls last week said I was "the Amazon Queen". It's funny because I live somewhere it's not that hard to just run out to the store for things. In less than 30 minutes I can hit 3 Walmarts (maybe 4), 2 Targets, an entire indoor mall with Sears, JCPenneys, Macys and Lord & Taylor, over a dozen grocery stores, 3 Home Depots, 2 Lowes, restaurant supply stores, and two learning stores (although our real "teacher" store closed, these ones have mostly toys). Unless I need something immediately or it really needs to be tried on, I just really prefer ordering. ETA: Okay, what the heck with the emojis? I did the keyboard big smile since I knew choosing from the list was making ?, but it converted it to a real emoji and then put in a ?

trulycrabby Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 A Seresto flea collar for the cat; and it arrived in USED condition! When I opened the metal container, I noticed that the collar was not sealed in plastic, and the lid had "Fluffy 4/5/2018" written on it in felt tip pen. So, I looked closely in the collar; it had been sized and trimmed, the inside was discolored with something reddish brown, and there was a clump of cat hair on it!!! Sold by amazon, not a third party seller. I'm guessing it was returned and whoever processed it did not bother to open the container.
