New appliances.

Remember that fancy schmantsy toaster my husband gave me as a gift? The one with the ridiculous price tag and all those bells and whistles no one needs?

Well, it died the other day… 3 months past it’s warranty of course.

So before I could run to Wal Mart or Target to purchase a more reasonable replacement?

My husband came home with this…

.

.

An even more expensive version with bells, whistles and flashing lights.

Sigh.

.

.

Does it toast bread? Sure.

Will it live longer than 3 months past its warranty? Only time will tell…

In other news (not to mention definitive proof I’m old) I’m going to gush about a vacuum.

Or more precisely the adorable Dyson Omni Glide rechargeable stick vacuum.

.

.

It’s small, easy to operate, disconnect and empty. The multi positional head is a dream and glides everywhere… effortlessly. Smooth fabric rollers won’t scratch our new floors and it has two suction settings to pick up His Lordship’s messes.

I’m in love.

How much easier do we need it?

25 Comments

.

I saw an Amazon list the other day of helpful products that are supposed to make our life easier, and after looking at them I had to wonder….

Are we really lazy enough to need them?

.

.

Call me crazy, but I don’t consider closing the toothpaste a hardship.

.

.

Sorry, stepping on an empty can has always satisfied me.

.

.

Chicken shredder… or medieval torture device?

Tough call.

.

.

Okay, they’ve got me here. It’s both useful and adorable.

But I can’t figure why this last one will make anyone’s life easier…

.

.

Even if it is the spitting image of Lord Dudley Mountcatten…

.

.

I wonder if he should ask for residuals.

Quality control… where are you?

I bought a bottle of Pantene shampoo a while back. And after only a week in the shower… I reached down, pumped and got nothing but air.

.

.

Seeing that my husband has very little hair left, I thought it odd the bottle had emptied so quickly.

Which is when I unscrewed the top.

.

.

Really?

Mystery solved why no shampoo was forthcoming, but come on.

A little quality control goes a long way.

Things Facebook thinks I need.

Facebook is always trying to sell me something. And since it depends on algorithms to choose the items … I have to wonder why it thinks I need organic underwear.

.

.

A free range bra? That’s an oxymoron if ever I’ve heard one.

.

.

High impact? Exactly how much impact do they think my girls experience…

.

.

My car seats do not need a body guard. If I’m man enough to spill a drink while driving? They should just man up and take it.

.

.

Okay, they’ve got me here.

Those are adorable.

Because you never know what my husband will bring up from the cellar …

The search for items to sell at a flea market continues and things are being belched up from the basement at an alarming rate. I don’t know if he’ll ever actually go through with this plan, but he certainly is enjoying the trips down memory lane.

Today’s treasure?

.

.

The 1967 version of an adult party game. And judging from the look on that woman’s face, insufficient martinis were consumed before play began.

.

.

The game is simple. 24 cards are placed on top of the feely box, you draw one… then reach inside to pull out the corresponding item.

.

.

Yes, those are teenie tiny dentures. 1967 sounds like a blast.

Amazon always brings it.

I saw something interesting advertised on Facebook the other day.

.

.

It’s some kind of fruit filled bubble that bursts when dropped in cocktails and I thought hey… that might be fun for the man cave bar. Until I saw they were $25 per plus tax… and $24.95 shipping. Undeterred, I sought them on Amazon.

While I was a bit disappointed they didn’t have the same brand, I was tickled by the imposter bubbles’ name.

.

.

I might have to order them.

I mean really, who could resist?

🤣

The perils of reviewing a book called Bonk.

I should have known there would be a price to pay for excerpting passages from a book about sex.

I should have, but the flood of … how shall I say, related products… now polluting my screen is prodigious.

.

.

Mothers Day gift anyone?

😳

.

.

Technically that’s not a sex toy, but the algorithm’s mind went there anyway.

.

.

I really need to be more careful with my book reviewing.

Things I don’t need to buy.

In Facebook’s ongoing quest to entice me to buy something, I give you this week’s selections.

.

.

I’ve been known to have a random cocktail from time to time. On special occasions. Like Tuesdays. But what I won’t be having again is Absinthe. It’s never been my liquor of choice but a few years ago on a bar crawl vacation in Vermont, we stumbled into a prohibition style den of iniquity pub. Do I remember the name of the establishment or the town in which it resided? No. Because after the devil bartender served me 3 pretty green but oh so deadly Absinthe concoctions I was lucky to remember my own name. Nice try Facebook, but I’ll pass.

Remember how a few of the past product recommendations reminded me of things found in a sado-masochist’s closet… even though they weren’t?

Well, this week it’s a little harder to find the innocent reason for your purchase. Try mountain climbing in this…

.

.

And finally there’s something really ridiculous that proves Facebook isn’t paying close enough attention. We have a man cave… with a full bar.

.

.

A bounce house Irish pub would just be a squirrel attracting redundancy.
