    Been raining all day. I don't mind. It was a little dry here anyway. (shrug)

  • Non-complaint:  I made it through the weekend without spending anything anywhere.  Yay! yes

    Complaint: I didn't spend anything anywhere all weekend. Boogers! no

    Then today I finally got the UPS shipping bill for the white carved stone vase I won at the on-line auction two weeks ago.  $55.56 Crap,sad almost as much as the vase itself surprise  However, I do have it sufficiently insured.  enlightened

    I hate it when shipping costs almost as much as what's being shipped!  But, I hate it even more when they charge more for shipping and "handling" than what is being shipped cost.  I've told places to forget it when that happened.

    On ebay I often refuse to even bid on items when they are asking too much is P&P.   I know how much it usually isfor similar items,  and if I find a vendor that wants to charge 2 or 3 times as much I won't deal with them.

    ...yeah I was about to order a replacement for a coffee mug (which was no longer made) with a piano keyboard motif which broke that I found on eBay, but the shipping costs were almost twice what the Buy It Now price was.

    Free shipping is why I buy most of my stuff from Amazon or other places that will offer free shipping.  I'm not a member of Amazon's "Prime" service but I do save up my purchases and make sure I get the things that carry the "free" shipping tag and buy the total dollar amount they require.  At one time it was $30, then it went up to $50, but now it's back down to $25 for the types of items I buy.  Yeah, yeah, I know.  They probably jack up the price of the items a little to help offset their shipping costs, but when I think of the actual shipping costs charged to mere mortals by the big shipping companies, Amazon's prices and "free" shipping is actually a pretty good deal.

    I think the major shipping companies have taken a lesson from the American  medical services and pharmaceutical houses on how to gouge the little guys yet give huge discounts to fellow corporate snakes.

    HOWEVER... If I apply the 10 to 1 rule for inflation from my childhood, a $50 shipping cost now would have been $5.00 when I was in grade school and I remember hearing parents talk of spending a whopping $5.00 to send a package. 

    What's amazing is that about 100 years ago you could buy a complete full size non-trivial house kit from the Sears catalog and have it shipped by rail to your town. surprise  I don't know what the houses cost or what it cost to ship them but it's probably googleable. indecision

    I've seen a commercial a few times lately about houses built indoors and then shipped and assembled on site.  I guess the idea is making a comeback.

    Shoe fly?

    "Shoo, Fly, Don't Bother Me!" is a song that was most likely written by T. Brigham Bishop[1] and first published in 1869

    took ada bus to dr appt, waited over 2.5 hours for trip home, bussie tapped window mirrors with a ford truck, we sat there waiting for police and a superviser, took another hour.

    amazon snuck in a yearly charge for amazon prime, was another charge for 119$, will take 3-5 days to refund it, meanwhile i'd already given my landlord 3 weeks late rent check >.<

    ....I don't use Amazon because of the way they treat their employees. I worked in the Fulfillment business (different company) and you are regarded as little more than a robot in management's eyes.

    As long as I remember to take my pills, from my little pill organizer, the empty ones tell me which day is isn't. indecision

    I used to have a proper wall calendar above my computer desk but never found a free one last year.  It's about time I should be watching for one in the local grocery store as a giveaway. indecision

    Nobody ever visits me.  I'll die in here one night and won't be discovered till after the rent is long overdue.  I've been trying to find some of those date placard sets that lonely geezers or geezettes can put in their window to let the neighbors wonder why it hasn't been updated.  But I can't find one. frown

    I had a religious zealot come to my door a few weeks ago and try to save me.  I should have let him in, given him tea and tried to de-program him but I just shooed him away.  Sometimes I see the gas meter man drive up and read the meter under my kitchen window.  He's a cutie. devil I contemplate going out and striking up a conversation but, he's got a schedule to keep. 

    Don't get me wrong, I love my isolation.  I've had lovers and roommates for at least 3 decades total but I've also learned to live quite happily alone.  However, I do miss having someone to trim the toenails I can't reach. indecision

    ...agh, it seems every other night this bloody car alarm goes off nearby.  The person who owns the car really needs to set the sensitivity down a bit or I may end up I putting a brick through the window, popping  the bonnet, and yanking the wiring out.

    Put a sign on the car saying "Unnecessarily annoying car alarms attract bricks." surprise

  • I just checked my spam box and found an email about being blocked in a Whats something app.  No clue what that is so no clue how to block that person whoever that person is.
