No fly trap. The Executioner racket zapper I got from Amazon last summer. I was watching TV and first thought the buzzing noise was part of the tv program, then realized when I turned the TV off, there was a fly buzzing around the ceiling light.

Oh, that's not a Venus Fly Trap in your avatar? I figured you were a collector?

The last thing I ordered was a watch for my grandson. It's programmable to remind him to do things like bring home his homework and that he has Harry Potter Club (so don't go to recess). It vibrates so as not to disrupt the other students and it's not a phone so it's legal in class.

Just a quick follow up. This rejuvenator spray works great. My printer which was jamming every 5 pages or so hasn't jammed once since the treatment. I've printed about 60 pages total since using the spray.

Just ordered this from the Amazon Warehouse, about $80. I got it to act as a gps in the car. It has a built in gps. I will use my cell hot spot for data. I have use my cell with Waze and really like it, but, the screen size is too small. I use this mount It works great on the cell, and should work on the tablet.

Pegs for my cribbage board. Got tired of using broken tooth picks.

Two weeks ago it was an antenna for the control module to my hunting dog's training collar. Through friction and vibration, the antenna had unscrewed itself off the controller unit while walking out in the field and I didn't realize it was gone until I got home. It was easy to find a replacement on Amazon, I have no idea what brick and mortar store I would have gone to to find just the antenna without having to purchase an entire new unit.

A set of five toner cartridges for my color laser printer. It includes two black cartridges.

These are aftermarket cartridges since the Dell ones are priced so outrageously. A set of four of those costs more than the printer!

If it has GPS built in, couldn't you just down load map data from the internet and store it permanently in the device like a regular GPS?

I just ordered the first book in the Witcher series The Witcher after playing the games. It's from a Polish author, and the games were from a polish developer. The PM of Poland was so impressed that he gave one of the games to Obama during one of his visits.

And this cat litter scooper that's about 1000% better than the $2 one I picked up at the store. Well worth being 6x the cost.

On the effort of decluttering I added this DVD case with a hard shell to eliminate my shelf of DVDs. It's working out so well I think I'll pick up another one for my old game CDs. I just wish it came in more than one color.

I also picked up a couple of the 20 oz. Zojirushi vacuumed bottles. These things are fantastic. I was watching a how it's made from their factory; it's like they think they're making computer chips or medical supplies needing two separate clean rooms to put these together.

This 24 hole muffin tin came in the same order to help with meal prepping. This thing is enormous and awesome, but cleaning it is proving difficult. Why not just two 12 hole tins? Because why not, I guess.

I got the same one at the local pet store a few weeks ago, and couldn't agree more. What a difference!

Travelover,
I believe I could, and I might give it a look. I have more cell data than I need, so that's why I was going to use it as a hotspot. DW uses her Ipad in the car sometimes so the hotspot is usually on.
