    I'm thinking of ordering one of these leather cast-iron pan handle covers because the handles on cast iron get screaming hot. It kind of bugs me that they use "MADE IN GEORGIA" all over the description, because many people are assuming it's the USA state but of course it's the country of Georgia. Just seems a little shady but maybe I'm just an old grouch. :D https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08SLC6DN9/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza

    The reviews are good, though.

    We ordered Saturday from Amazon and got the delivery yesterday for a Pure Clean smart robot vacuum cleaner. We spend most about time in the living room with the TV and comfortable chairs, but so do the dogs. We needed something that will pick up the dog hair daily and this little machine fits the bill. Sweeping made the hair fly more and using the big vacuum can be tiring. We will use the big vacuum when we need to do a deep cleaning. We've used it twice and really like the results. Don't know how long it'll hold up but it works very well for our needs it costs $49.99 plus I bought the 2-year extended warranty for $5.99.
    Note: I wouldn't recommend this for large cleaning area because it has a small collection basket.

    I read the Q&A and one person specifically asked if it was made in the State of Georgia, and the seller replied "Made in Georgia." I added my comment that someone else said The Country of Georgia...I could not find the specific answer anywhere else, but your eyes are better than mine. You can tell that the description was not written by a native English speaker.

    I bought some catheter accessories, some protein powder to have for SHTF, an SPF50 shirt for working outside (since I already had one skin cancer removed) and this Under $20 alcohol/wood fueled cooker, also for SHTF:

    I googled the company and it is the country of Georgia. Kind of shady if you ask me, but typically if it was the state it would say "Made in USA."

    It's really shady when someone asks if it's the state and they get that reply.

    Guess they figure by now everybody knows nothing is manufactured in the in nation anymore. All the oligarchs made sure that the plants in Georgia were shut down.

    Isn't it counterintuitive for anything camo to also light up?

    Because "You'll Fall For Anything" is the company motto. :p

    I got my new fall (Halloween) wreath and already slammed it on the front door.

    A pair of Ecco shoes while they were on special (end of winter sales) normal price is $269 I bought these for $120 by simply paying for them using Afterpay ( one of AP many promotions) .

    I find them supportive for my ankle / leg I fractured 18 months ago, the style has a flat ish sole that are fairly good when out walking on any gravely types of surfaces , as I’m not as confident on any slippery surfaces as I was before fracturing my leg / ankle.
    I have a pair exactly the same in black .

    Cello bags. One with paw prints and the other with word "meow", and some plastic cupcake holders. I'm doing some baking this week. One of the animal shelters is having a fund raiser event this weekend, along with a bake sale, and needs donated bake goods for their event. I'll try to take a picture of my baked goods bagged up, when I get it all done later on in the week.
