Because of car troubles I shop more and more online. The last thing I bought at a regular store was groceries, not going to list every one of them, too tired right now. The last thing I bought online was Sage shampoo on Amazon. It's very good for an itchy scalp.

Bought several online shower filters over the last twenty years or so.
It helps reduce itchy scalp and itchy skin because it takes out most of the chemicals in the tap/shower water that cause problems.
Last I checked, a five or eight stage filter, including vit c stage, was only about twenty green pieces of paper. :
 

A few times this year bought online and in the brick store
oil of oregano/ various brands , liquid and capsules.
Found out it has been used for centuries to eliminate gum /teeth/ problems and
more particularly to avoid ever needing or getting a rude canal.
At first, I only took a few a week, and that helped a little.

Then started taking it more daily, and it totally eliminated the problem.
And I verified by going to a real-to-life d e n t i s t who was not aware of how to solve problems without official dental procedures.

Good to know. I've never had a root canal.
 

Got socks. Got skinny jeans. Holy buckets! Anybody checked the price of Levi's lately? If I'd had to pay the price on the ticket, they'd still be in the store. With my discount and $30 whatever cash, they were $36 and change. Regular price? $70! For a pair of jeans. I liked it better in the 50s when Wranglers were $1.98, and if you wanted to go erste Klasse for Levi's, those cost a whopping $2.98. Oy.

They had high-waist Capris that I'd have liked to get, too, but they weren't skinny and anyway, I couldn't make myself spend more money.

Why skinny, you ask? Because I'm soooo bony that regular jeans are baggy and make me look like I'm trying to disguise my boniness. Used to be that I was so...um...fluffy that I'd wear clothes that were too big. I had the idea that I was disguising my fluffiness. Nope. They made me look fluffier. Fluffy.
 
Never say never. I never thought I would but I have. Even then it is not a failsafe to loosing a tooth. I have always practiced good dental care. It was one of my mother's big things. Most ladies have a makeup bag in their purse, my mom had a bag with toothpaste, brush and floss. LOL
 
Get a copy of an itemized bill. Go over it with a fine comb tooth and compare it to what insurance has paid. I had to do that for five years when my husband was going thru cancer care. Sometimes they had been paid by insurance and sometimes they just had not been paid by insurance yet, They don't care they just send the bill. Don't pay them until you are sure that you without any doubt know you owe it. I went thru the same thing when I had my hip replacement. I know it is hard to do while you are still recovering. I just called and told them I was not going to pay it until I had the time to reconcile the charges. Their always quick to want your money but very slow to return it.

I bought a small Brita water filter pitcher, now learning to drink filtered tap water after over a decade of bottled water.

I didn't like tap water and wouldn't drink it (except for Hackensack, N.J. tap water which is really good), but the Brita system changed that. I've been using the Brita pitcher system for well over a decade. I usually use water enhancers rather than plain water unless I'm extremely thirsty, then nothing takes the place of water and Brita water tastes fine.

At some point I found out that some of the bottled waters are nothing but processed tap water which is why companies had to stop using the words spring water so I relied less on bottled water. I hope you find that you like the taste of the filtered water HoneyNut.

It started fine when I left home but when I came out of the barber shop yesterday afternoon and turned the key my pickup was dead as a hammer.

A fella gave me a jump and I drove straight to Auto Zone......since the one I had in it lasted a freckle over six years I went ahead and bought another Duralast brand battery.

Between the $195.34 for a new battery and the cost of a haircut it was a pretty expensive afternoon.

I miss the days when it was obvious that batteries were about to die so you had a few days to replace them.

Now they work perfectly one minute and dead as a doornail the next. No notice whatsoever. It's surprising that car manufacturers haven't come up with a dashboard monitor light that gives some warning.
