Normally the only things I buy online are things I can't find locally or the price difference is drastic between the store and Amazon or wherever else. One thing I wouldn't buy online: I don't think they sell gasoline online (yet!)

Never been to one

Thanks Pat you too. It's house cleaning day today. We've been having non stop fun for about 5 days now and it feels like we're living in a locker room.

I do both, it just depends on what the item is. I don't think I would buy perishable food online, the exception being smoked meat that is delivered the next day and frozen.


Bonus Question(s):
Have you ever attended an event such as an Air and Water Show? If so, what was the most memorable/exciting thing you saw?
Have been to both.
Air shows: Thunderbirds, SR-71, WWII enactments with lots of dog fighting.
Water shows: Sharks, proposes and boat races.

I like to do both. I think bigger items would be more difficult, things like mattresses, couches, etc. In the past, I wouldn't order shoes online, but since most major brands and those bought via Amazon allow for free returns, I will even get those.


Bonus Question(s):

Have seen first. We have a park here that use to have a water skiing show. I was also at an Air show when a group of new fighter jets led in a much older one. Seeing the old and new at the same time was really cool.

I had some of those a couple of nights ago (inspirations, not farts, well I had those, too). Actually quite amusing that a word meaning inspiration is linked to farting.

(An air show, but so long ago I've forgotten most of it)
