    Just ordered round fitted tablecloth, under the counter jar opener, and some Bounce Pet softener sheets. My SIL says they really work . She gave me some and I must say they also work well just rubbing across say a couch. Like lint brush.

    They just shipped the Kindle that I ordered on May 26, and it won't be here until Monday, and they haven't even shipped the case for it that I ordered at the same time, although they say it will be. here on Tuesday. Usually, it's not a shipping problem. It's an Amazon problem because, once they ship the product, it arrives quickly enough.

    I just ordered a new pair of SAS shoes. I don't know when they will be shipped.

    A button-front nightshirt from Macy's sale, and a summer weight blanket.

    This is sitting in my cart on Amazon. $120 + tax. Free shipping. Weighs 48 lbs. It's late so I might not be thinking straight. Sleeping on it tonight. :)

    Kirkland k-cups, some puffy peppermints and a couple of pullover tops from Costco. These little cotton beanies from Amazon...

    Sadly it seems there is nothing available from anywhere else on amazon. I typed in the search, made in USA and maybe the first two items were but then everything went back to being from China. The best place for made in usa is on etsy.com or other cottage industry sites. But there are foreign items on there too. Just need to keep checking.

    Six days later, and they still haven't even shipped my last order.

    Ordered from Walmart late Tuesday night, delivered by noon today:

    I bought 4 bags.

    In all fairness, when this is in stock, it's always delivered in a day or two via FedEx. I don't know why or how or from where...it's not an in-store item.

    I got this set from Walmart because I'm tired of cleaning up the spatter from my stove top.

    I hope I remember to use them.

    I have one of those. It works well, but I don't fry enough to remember to get it out. :(

    I made pasta sauce yesterday in a shallow pan rather than a deep stock pot. Every lava-like "blub" put flecks on my stove and countertop...but those screens had not been run through the dishwasher yet.

    We'll see if they are something I use or something I wish I hadda.

    Their database is all hosed up. I've seen something like that for my orders, but can't recall if it was Amazon or the post office site.

    UPS is more succinct, but the descriptions are nebulous:

    "On the Way" Mesquite, TX
    Is that from Dallas to Mesquite or from Mesquite to somewhere? (I assume they use Arlington and Dallas interchangeably.)

    What a goat rodeo. There is something hosed with the Amazon center(s) that serve(s) your location...but you knew that already.

    I see crap like that fairly often. A package will get to Houston one day within 10 miles of my house, then suddenly it's in Sacramento or somewhere. You have to wonder who is in charge of logistics.
