See? You need a corded mouse so you can retrieve it before your dog even gets involved. :2funny:

Wow, that's insane! It's as though they are saying Illinois isn't even in the country. I'd be furious. Well, I suppose you could get the Amazon Basics mouse. It is almost as good, and I think it's just a buck or two more. But still, what an insult to Illinois!!! :mad:

I am old (76 next month), and clumsier than anyone could possibly believe. When I am on the internet, posting on exciting threads like this one:2funny: , I get carried away and tend to either drop or actually accidently THROW my mouse on the floor. Yes, it doesn't take much to excite me. LOL...

Salt! Probably the first time in 20 years I have run out of salt. Apparently it has gone up in price - - it's now $7 for a container of salt this size from Amazon.

We like paying in cash, and haven't used a CC at a restaurant in decades. So, actually we had no idea this was going on. Sounds inconvenient for CC users!

Same here. Frank and I have similar interests, but happen to have explored different activities related to those interests. So, his activities are interesting to me (but not boring), and vice versa. Since we don't live together, we don't have to spend time together when one or the other of us...

I guess I have a unique outlook on this. I believe that there are some things that a person has to do for himself/herself, and that nobody else can "fix" for them. Getting out of debt due to over-spending is one.

When I was working, my work paid for the latest Microsoft Office and I could install a copy of it at home to use on work stuff at home if needed. When I retired, I just didn't feel right about continuing to use that copy of MS Office at home since it was supposed to be only for work. So, I...

Sorry, I don't like gardening either with or without clothes! I'll pass. Years ago I had all the trees and bushes removed from my yard, so all I have left is grass. And, I have a kindly older gentleman named Percy who only charges me $35 to mow my lawn with his rider mower. He has done so on...

Congratulations! I love reading retirement success stories like this one. :D

Those tornados in Oklahoma, Kansas, Iowa, and nearby states were awful today! I watched them on youtube. We didn't get any tornados or other scary weather here, although the wind did get gustier than previously predicted and who knows what tomorrow may bring. Hope everyone is OK.

Oh Harlee, I am so sad to hear about the unexpected bad news. Wish I could somehow help you to get through this tough time. (hugs) Just know I care.

Test strips and lancets for diabetic blood sugar testing.

Glad you are feeling better. I only had Covid once, back in 2021, but in my case it was severe and awful. I was in the ICU in the hospital for about three weeks, and still felt awful when they released me but I wanted to go home SO badly and they really needed the bed for even sicker Covid...

No ads here, either. Maybe they'll show up soon, though I hope they don't. Or maybe being logged in is helping me, as Dtail suggested above.
