We finally caught the mom today. Texas Litter Control took care of no other kittens.
We have dry and wet cat food, same thing. They love it when I bought the 6 pound bag to try, then I bought the 25 pound bag and they won't eat it. I have always thought cat owners should get together and have swap meets.

I do all of my online shopping from Amazon, WalMart, and Chewy, except for the occasional clothing purchase. This weeks purchases included:

Wet and dry cat food (Chewy)
Paper goods, kitty litter, and household supplies (WalMart)
Catnip toys and a heartbeat simulator soothing toy (for the elderly cat) (Amazon)
Pond de-icer and barber shears (Amazon)
Groceries for delivery to house (WalMart)
Three kinds of HBP cold medicines (Amazon - I'd have to pick them up in person from WalMart)

IOW, nothing exciting or unusual. Just personal, household, and pet maintenance items. Ho-hum.

I miss my 6S. Dropped it in the toilet last year, bought an 11, hated it (very heavy and I couldn’t get the swiping required. But the worst thing was that the updated apps were all buggy (including my beloved Reminders app, which sucks in many ways now). I hadn’t been able to upgrade my 6S for a couple of years due to lack of memory and I wish I had the old, in-upgraded apps again. I sent the 11 back and bought an 8, which is better than the new ones IMO at least for me, but I still hate the upgraded Maps and Reminders.

Nothing from Amazon in almost 10 years and still counting.

Latest online purchases:

- Charging/syncing cable for a GPS device, direct from the manufacturer
- Replacement parts for bicycle rollers, also direct from the manufacturer

These were the only authentic sources of the items, plus I hate Amazon.

I was thinking the 11...now you have me thinking not. And I have no idea which of the 8 iphones out there I would like the best. I suppose I could visit stores and look at them all, but I despise studying choices. I just read an article on which one to buy, and it leaves me more confused than ever. I'm inclined to buy the 13 Pro just to get it over with and know that I'm good for perhaps another 5 years. Whichever I pick, I'm going to have to learn a lot on a new iphone since this one is 5 (or 6?) years old, and that's going to annoy me. Ugh!

I think that over time, especially the last couple years with COVID, I see little distinction in specifying "online".

I buy food, paper goods, clothing, makeup, housewares, custom window blinds, furniture, lawn chemicals...ANYTHING and almost EVERYTHING online. So the question is essentially, "what have you bought recently" which is also akin to "what did you eat for lunch today".

That's why I bought a used 8, for $200, lol. I was tired of research, too. One of my co-workers tried several times to teach me the proper way to swipe the 11 to open it, but I couldn't master it (it's sort of an arc-shaped/diagonal swipe). Plus the 11 doesn't have fingerprint unlock or fingertip log-in for websites and apps, no home button at all, only face recognition, and I missed the home button.

All the newer phones are going to be the same, no home button, lots of fancy changes/swipes, etc. But you have a 30 day period to return if you get it from your carrier.

A marvelous expensive cake (no bakeries where I live)

I shop very little. Speciality items like food stuff online, household goods in persona at dollar store. Dog food in person.
