    I scratched up my clip-on sunglasses so ordered a new pair:

    The place I usually buy this stuff merged with another company, but the prices, selection and service seem to be just as good. They have a wide selection of sunglasses and clip-ons for about any type of eyeglasses.

    This size & style were being discontinued (I guess not many people buy non-polarized lenses) and were marked down, so I bought two pairs.

    I have an old pair that I love. They zip up the front. For a long time I have left the zippers open so I can slip them on and off, standing. Don't leave zippers open in a long grass pasture! The slip off by themselves but not back on! I hear that there are new sneakers that are made to just slip off and on. Probably cost more than these but might look into them. You need to step on the back to slip them off. Not snag them.o_O

    I bought a pair that had Velcro straps once. When we had the goats. They were great until you had to put out straw or hay. The Velcro would get completely clogged.

    Can't believe the new slip-ons on TV, with laces, would work. I'd think you would walk out of them all the time, if they were loose enough to step into. Will wait for reviews.

    I ordered a new drone online. After several instances of losing connection with the old one and almost losing it, I ordered the updated model, shown below.

    The major change is to the body of the drone, which now has fold out antennae. This change effectively doubles the range out to about 6 kilometers (i.e. 3.7 miles). Being the same size as the old one, it fits nicely into the motorcycle's backpack.

    https://www.amazon.com/SMOOL-Vibration-Plate-Exercise-Machine/dp/B098X598R8/ref=sr_1_33?crid=XWFOWHRFS0PD&keywords=vibrational+plate+exercise+machine&qid=1658623958&sprefix=vibrational+pla,aps,163&sr=8-33#customerReviews
    I bought a vibration plate as it was recommended to me to help rebuild bone. I am a little nervous on it but I keep telling myself if I keep both feet down, I won't fall. The problem was that they did not include the remote and I can't step up while it is moving. so I have to bend over and practically stand on my head to get it set and going. I called to ask for a remote. They said they could not send one. I should send it back and they will send out a new plate. I said it was way too heavy for me to do that,(I can lift most anything but then I can't walk with whatever.) I would just keep it. They gave me a refund anyway:)

    I'm sure I can do better than that.

    I read that those vibration plates help people with lymphedema; supposedly they help with circulation both venous and lymphatic. So I saw this one on clearance at QVC and ordered it. So far I can't tell if it's doing anything other than rattling my teeth but it's easy to do. This model came with a removable seat but I don't use it. https://www.qvc.com/FITNATION-Rock-...d-Seat.product.F14219.html?sc=PRODFEED&TZ=EST

    I don't understand. Is there a model without the remote, or did they just screw up and insist on a complete unit replacement? That's horrible customer service. It sounds like you need a stick to turn it on & off with while standing on the thing.

    They screwed up and the remote was not included. But they let me keep it AND gave me my money back. I could have re-ordered but I don't need two heavy things in my room.
    I can set it and start it while standing on it. But I can't squat. Thus the head stand to get it going. Everyone should have a cane to help them right themselves:)
    I look like those garden cut outs of the ladies' rears. Supposedly the ladies are bending over in their gardens. I do that too. but I don't wear a polka dot skirt.
