My Recent Online Purchases - What Were Yours?

After rats damaged the wiring on my sister's car & started to build a nest on the engine of my car, I purchased bsome bucket-type traps to put in front of the car & one in my basement. A day later, a huge rat the size of a newborn kitten was in the bucket & two more rats in the basement trap.

 

No, never crossed my mind. As a matter of fact your information about foxes and coyotes helped me in deciding, John B. Plus after reading the reviews on @Don Alaska's link, I was sold. Then my DIL told me she saw a coyote. . I said seriously, 'I hope it's not mating season.' From the look on her face she didn't have clue of what I was talking about.

 

I just read up on collagen. There was a list of best food sources for it a few being beef, pork, or chicken bone broth, sardines, and skin-on chicken.

I had a bone density test done. I was thoroughly not happy with the report. The result was good but the report included the probability of me falling and breaking my hip in 10 years. What a way to put fear in a person. I know that it's always a possibility that it could happen without the confirmation with the expectant time given. I said to myself 'Just wait until my next doctor's appointment. I'm going to speak my mind about this test and don't ask me to take another.' smh

 

Don't live in fear @Von Jones but be careful, especially in winter with ice. I can't remember all the bone density factors, but I know some women who do use a lot of bone broth, and some even chew on the cartilage of the bone joints in chicken and beef. Vitamin C is necessary to produce your own collagen, so it doesn't hurt to take a C supplement as well. Remove any trip hazards around the house, such as loose rugs and such.

I hope the coyote pee does the job on your raccoons

 

@Don Alaska, I'm not.

I felt that probability section was really unnecessary for any patient, not expecting to read something like that. That's something I would expect a doctor to discuss with the patient in person not read on a piece of paper delivered in the mail. It was calculating and cold. There are probably many people who don't thoroughly read a report like me because I'm a 'I - want - to - know.' person.

 

Dunno why you might be embarrassed Beth.

I mean, there’s no doubt that it comes with directions you don’t have to read even thought there is some assembly required, it has shiny parts and has buttons to push!
Heck, if it has enough buttons to push and the deal was good enough, ya should have bought 2 !

 

...but that built-in frother, tho!!!

 

WOW ! The frothing stem is shiny, ya gotta push a button AND it makes a gurgling, swishy kind of noise !
For that one detail alone, I’d invite the neighbors in to watch me work it !!

Dunno. That machine sounds more like a guys domain.

 

I bought a bottle of super magnesium ( Aussie made) for DH cause he’s got like a restless leg syndrome his feet move not stop while sitting relaxing watching TV and when he gets to bed his legs start doing the same thing , he’s had a sleep study done but the dr didn’t really come up with solution .

I take these when needed ( about once or twice a week ) if my BP is up from me doing to much as I call it …if I get tired from say walking a dog / cleaning on my feet way to long for a 78 year old ( my watch said I stood for 10 hours yesterday) and it’s correct ….i was busy shopping and walking heaps because of shopping in ….Adelaide …..so my BP was sky high last night and it’s 123/ 60 this morning ….not swearing it’s the magnesium but it most certainly helps drop my BP

So anyway I got a bottle for DH 120 tablets ..for $22 ..normally around the $38….$40+ mark for this brand
so let’s hope it helps him….or he’s getting sent to the spare bedroom ……. Not just for a night or two but ……..PERMANENTLY
So I can get a decent nights sleep

 

Purchased from eBay a mod.# 1Mii B03Pro Bluetooth transmitter/receiver. I plan on using it to hook up to my Sony CD jukebox so I can transmit wireless using Bluetooth to my TV sound bar, which I haven't purchased yet.
This box is supposed to have chip technology allowing for hi fidelity transmission.

 

I have about 1000 Vinyl albums, I have been researching bluetooth turntables along with a bluetooth soundbar. Looking forward to setting this up.

 

Just a FYI: Don't waste your money on this. It's a clever design but (after trapping two rats,) they have outsmarted it & know how to get the bait without falling into the bucket. The bait was on the inside of the lid. The rat chewed through the cover. Here is the result from yesterday:

It would work on mice
