I celebrated by driving to Loveland to talk to our tax guy about foreign earned income exclusion and residential restrictions associated with it.

Our 10 year old printer gave out a few days before Prime Days. We tried everything to fix it with no luck. Was the printer we wanted discounted extra for Prime Days? Of course not! The big savings was we got 1% extra in credit back if we used our Prime card. I was looking for one other item, which also ended up not being part of the Prime Days sale.

Well, THAT's buzzard's luck. But I'm stuck on this part: You have a printer that worked for 10 years? What am I doing wrong, I wonder?

Maybe you could talk to it sweetly and tuck it in at night. 😊

I was hoping for at least 11!

I made pudding and inserted some solar light thingies. Ummm... did jigsaw puzzling with Anne... grocery shopping. Very exciting.

Solar light thingies in the pudding? Interesting recipe.

Ha! Oops. And I wrote for a living! I love it. Of course. They have to be pre-charged before insertion. Just think how much more fun it is to eat the pudding late at night, in the dark!

I shall now slink away into this semi-light of day.🤦‍♀️

I bought a couple of small items that I was going to buy anyway, and paid with the points on the credit card I use all the time. Nothing exciting. A sturdy case for the phone, and a pair of hiking poles

I'm always in favor of a bargain, but when they start selling Hallmark cards for Prime Day(s), I'm out.

Hey, it was a printer pandemic! Like Jac’s, our printer died a week before Prime time. Needed one ASAP so couldn’t wait for a possible deal. Feeling rebellious And miserly, I bought nada on Prime day.

I'm sorry for your loss of your printer. I go through about one every two years.

I had ordered a few things before Prime Days started. It never appeals to me.

We took our dog to go in the ocean for the first time and ate dinner at Captain Scott’s!

That sounds lovely.

I “celebrated” by continuing to boycott all things Amazon. What they need to do is pay their fair share of taxes and treat their workers with dignity, respect and support. What they don’t need is my money on which taxes have been paid.

Oh, Lord. Zero. That kind of power would only get abused by me.
