If not online then, sorry Charlie.

Still having internet issues so no promises on this post, but going for it anyway. And how's YOUR day going?

I so almost all my shopping online. For clothing, for garden supplies, for critter food, for my food, for household supplies, all of it is ordered online.

I have had some troubles with that of course, often getting a message telling me that an item is unavailable or finding out it has a ginormous shipping charge attached to it.

The problem with ordering clothing online is that you will either get a nightshirt that is huge and hangs off of you like a rain-poncho or you get a bathing suit that is clearly made for a 5 year old. It's a crap-shoot at best.

Sometimes you do not receive items that you ordered but are still being charged for them. Fortunately I deal with reputable online companies that are very good about issuing refunds or credits right away in that situation.

I think I may have mentioned (maybe only a hundred times) that I am old. Likely old enough to be your grandmother. But that's only part of the reason I do so much shopping online. It's about convenience, travel, exposure, and my being so frugal. How does frugal factor in? Well, if I actually go inside the store I find that I indulge in what is called "impulse shopping". It's better for me online.

So I ordered some seeds online. At only 50 cents a package for vegetables and flowers it's hard to resist. But for these seeds, the package was a whopping $1.96. I know, it isn't really that much but I had to overplay it, ya know?

I am not done with this post but I have had so many interrupts with 'technical issues messages' that I can no longer proceed. I have saved, I have published, several times and so now I simply step away. Be well, prosper, have fun.

I read recipes the same way I read science fiction.

I get to the end and I think, “Well, that’s not going to happen.”
