What is the last thing you ordered from Amazon?

I'm sure it will make the white elephant exchanges for years to come!

(BTW - I hope DD never sees it. As much as I like hot dogs, I might end up with one!)

At least y'all aren't ordering Pixel XL phones from VZ Wireless. I ordered a couple on 10/27 with a ship date of 12/2. I just got an email saying they "might" be available by 1/13. I'll probably end up cancelling the order.

I got a new Logitech wireless mouse today. The new one is a smaller version of the old one. Every time I posted on the forum I would get a notice that I had just posted the same thing a second time. The mouse was sending two clicks instead of one. Lousy electrical stuff... I only bought the old one 6 or 7 years ago. I paid $5 for it too!

I contacted the seller asking where my package was. They said to contact my neighbors, look in my mailbox again, and contact USPS. I did, and USPS tells me that they delivered my package to a house about a mile away. Now the mail lady has to ask the people for my package, that she delivered it to the wrong house. This could get ugly.

That happened to me a few months ago. No result until I got the postal inspectors involved, then quick action. The mail carrier rang the doorbell one day and handed me the package, along with profuse apologies. He said it happened on his day off, so he blamed the substitute, but who knows?

I have Amazon trained. They never use USPS because USPS refuses to deliver to my address. This works very well for me.

True - who knows what goes on there. I get the felling I'm going to have good results too. The USPS guy I talked to on the phone seemed like he was going to make a mission out of getting my package.

I wish they wouldn't deliver here either, mail lady leaves my mailbox door open almost daily. Luckily I don't get too many Amazon packages delivered by USPS - only small stuff.

I ordered a Sous Vide immersion cooker for my wife for Xmas. We are active on the Discuss Cooking site and she wants to try one.

Yep. Winter is here. Just ordered a portable heater. The bad news..won't for a few days, despite having Amazon Prime. The good news, gonna get down to single digits in about a week so I can give this a good test.

Two pair of Yac Trax pro! Hope that fixes the falling on ice problem.

Good idea! I have heard that Yac Trax work really well. With any luck, (hopefully) it won't happen again for a long time if ever.

A level 5 faber and faber performance piano book. Younger son is moving up a level and older son had removed pages from the book (that are now disappeared) when he used the book.

Yesterday we received a basketball, basketball pump, and 4 pairs of earbuds. Earbuds were small gifts for the boys for their birthdays this week. Younger son is in pre-season of basketball - our old pump was dead and most of the old balls were flat...

On the instant pot topic - I ordered when Chuckanut first posted the link - we've used it many times already. It's bulky and we had to clear out a cupboard for storing it... but the beef stew I made in it last night was awesome!!! Last week we made the pork chili that Audrey posted the recipe to - substituting ingredients we had on stock (red salsa instead of salsa verde for example).... Came out GREAT - and the kids are demanding more. And since older son is on soft food - having meat that is tender and falls apart is a good thing. Definitely a great purchase.

Some Amcrest Wifi Cameras, a couple of Dlink Wifi Water Sensors, and 2 pair of 2x4 open bar steel brackets for barring the back garage door (our most vulnerable house access). Almost ready to shut the place down and head for FL. It's getting cold.


Also, a pretty cool folding high chair for the new-ish DGD. It's like one of those collapsing camping chairs that fold up and get shoved into a carrying bag. It should be pretty handy for DD.

Amazon Echo Dot.

DW is constantly talking to herself, so thought maybe she would enjoy having another woman to discuss things with.

Just ordered a knee compression sleeve to help with the swelling from my recent knee replacement. I need the swelling to go down so I can make more progress with my range of motion.

I ordered three Echo Dots: One for DW and one for each of the two step daughters who all chatter endlessly like their Mom. Now they each have a new friend like your DW!

They're great. Don't even know we're wearing them.

Right now Amazon has a special on returned ones. One box was ripped the other new. The Trax appear brand new and for less than half price you cannot go wrong.

I got some of those for Christmas last year. I went over to a neighbors house tonight and noticed I was walking around their car on pure ice. I went around the other side when I left, but had to go behind their car. I got on some ice and hit the ground hard. Maybe I should wear those things all winter. Just in case.

Yes you should! Hope you are OK. If I lived in your area, I'd be seriously careful about falling on ice. Falls can be so dangerous.
