That's it. My mom hasn't stopped worrying since Dad died. I think she does it just to keep her mind occupied.
I guess your mom can't go out shopping. Don't they have a service for that?
It doesn’t matter how farrago to get the items, if there is a wide assortment of products at good prices…
If you have an android phone or better you can order from that. Prime is free the first month, but $79/year after that. If you have kindle you can get a free book a month...but my friends all have the account to order stuff. Anything. I told one nephew about Lemi-Shine for his dishwasher and he had it ordered on the phone and on it’s way (2 day shipping, too) before we finished the conversation. He’s a young man and does not waste his time shopping, if he needs it, Amazon has it. He just orders and in 2 days it’s delivered to him.
LOL A++
Last step is like the Brits...NO GUNS for cops. RME
BTW, the free books from Amazon Prime can be read on your computer, too.
They do have shopping every week, but she thinks that she cannot go. I think she’s afraid of being away from a bathroom. Or, she’s afraid of being forced to use a public bathroom. In her old age, she makes up rules for herself.
I checked out their site and the only Woolite washing liquid I could find was a whole case for $242! I’ll have to spend a little more time browsing. I’m not even sure that I can send Woolite through the mail. They have some disclaimer about liquids in the package. I might have to use UPS.
At least the Miami airport doesn’t have the vomit inducing inaugural merchandise for sale that Reagan airport did! It’s cold in Miami today apparently, but 83 in grand cayman. I have not been in the Miami airport in decades, I’m going to look around a bit. Hablar a little espanol maybe....
Hola
Miami is very long, as I recall. There is no “center” with a bunch of shops, restaurants.
OMG! I was stuck in the Miami airport for a whole day in 1980, trapped by Hurricane Allen. I was a travel agent at the time on a “fam” (familiarity) cruise and Allen had already chased us around the Caribean destroying ports we had just visited and preventing us from visiting other ports on our itinerary.
When we finally landed in Miami, we couldn’t go home. I was living in the Houston area at the time, and all of our destination airports were closed because nobody knew which way Allen was heading. Finally, we were cleared to head to Houston when Allen aimed for Corpus, and I got in around 9 PM. I was miserable because I had a horrible sunburn from standing on the deck the day before watching ice carving while the ship marked tim because our final stop was closed to us. I couldn’t carry my luggage because my shoulders hurt so bad.
In the mean time, my youngest son was ousted out of his Scout camp because of flood threats. I got home to no hurricane and my kitchen counters filled with jugs of water and bags of potato chips (my husband’s idea of emergency supplies) and the windows all covered with masking tape.
Of course, in a climate like Houston’s you have to remove that tape as soon as the threat of high winds is over. Otherwise you have tape marks on your windows forever. I’ve never felt to desire to return to Miami for any reason. I also resigned my job as a travel agent. I couldn’t imagine my family surviving on potato chips and water in case I really got lost on one of those trips!
Word to the wise: cruise lines only offer “free” trips to travel agents at the height of the hurricane season (and you ae not allowed to bring any members of your family, or friends, or even people from your ame town). I did write a feature about it for the newspaper where I worked part time and earned a couple of bucks from the ordeal.
We’re in terminal D. There’s a Jose Cuervo Tequileria and a Shula’s and a Coach store.
Like the old sitcom?
Last time I was there, I could get into the American Airlines club because of my fare. There are 2 in the terminal. They give you a coupon for 2 free drinks when you enter. So I checked into both and got 4 free drinks.
I’m savvy like that.
The must sell a lot of University of Minnesota merchandise there.
At these prices, it won’t be too far. A++
oooh, coach. whenever I am up at the Syracuse mall, I drool over their purses...then I am inspired to go to Macy’s or Bon Ton and actually buy one I can afford.
