    I checked out Amazon Prime Day deals just because. I came across and ordered a charging station unit for my granddaughters' tablets so no one has to wait. I had a gift card balance which reduced the amount to $10.49 including tax plus free shipping. Expecting it to arrive Friday.

    It never occurred to me that washing my hands might be the problem I have with 'swiping'. I did figure it had to do with my skin's lack of 'stickiness'. I guess I will stop doing that.:rolleyes:

    Speaking of the Apple Watch, there's a good deal on the Series 9 on Prime Day specials. One drawback to the 9 is that it does not have the blood oxygen sensor, but many people don't use that feature. (I do use it so I wear my old Series 6 more than the 9.)

    I ordered several items from Prime Day. A Fire Tablet 8 and a case for it, some bath towels, hand towels, and wash cloths, and seeds for the Aerogardens.

    New shoes that I mentioned I’d ordered while away ( I arrived home Saturday evening )
    When I opened the parcel containing the new shoes that cost me $175 .00 I could smell them , it was like a B.O smell when I removed the tissue paper I could see they were secondhand shoes IMG_3043.gif

    I don’t wear second hand shoes it’s not what I ordered ….

    The creases by the toe part of the shoes indicate they have been worn as well as having a smell …and dirty soles

    These are the same as the shoes I bought , …….that I’ve returned in the mail today …

    mine cost $175.00 from a shoe store that has a shop in Adelaide as well as online , they generally specialise in shoes for anyone with arch support / orthopaedic issues .

    I bought a White ….pair as well …same style …..they are fine but from a different seller ( got them from a online/ shopfront large department store that’s in Adelaide ) called David Jones

    Op shops as Aussies call them @John Brunner have got very greedy and expensive , I used to enjoy a stroll through and buy a little item here or there but I rarely give them the time of day now as I know how expensive they are ….
    I believe many are now leased out on franchises ……so they are a profit making business under the disguise of a charity name .:(:(
