Medicine, vitamins, and cough drops. I also got my dog an antler to chew on.

Read that wrong and thought you had dressed your dog up Christmas style. Felt sorry for the critter.  :asthing: :laugh:

Took advantage of some sales at the grocery.  Bought about $160 worth of stuff for $80.

My first old person bike. I kept falling on the mountain bike so I wanted an easier one with comfort construction and at least 18 speeds for the hills here. Ended up getting a Schwinn hydra but since it's a step through with a weird diamond shaped tube and no bolts there's nowhere to put a water bottle. Got Py to get one too. Trying to figure out if hose clamps might work for the water bottles.

a new mouse

the communist in me insisted on keeping the useless piece of shit mouse I had before, for months on end. Cheap Microsoft-crap, that pretty much malfunctioned from the moment I plugged it in...
It finally got the better of me, and I threw it into the wall.
(the mouse-wheel had a habit of "jumping", resulting in a very jittery scrolling. sometimes I would scroll down several times, and the page would simply vibrate - but stay in place)

Mine is having the problem of interpreting a single click as a double click. It's had that problem for a long time. Sometimes I take it apart and clean it and that helps for a very short while. I bought a new one too, it was a complete dud and it didn't work at all. I still haven't returned it because I hate returning stuff, so I don't even know when or if that will ever happen, so I'm stull using my old clickably inept one.

Buy a Logitech mouse. Avoid the cheap ones, though. They are cheap for a reason.

I bought the most expensive one they got - BUT! I have noticed that many of the cheap-ass mice have a decent enough life-span. The worst one so far was the Microsoft one, strangely enough. I went for it, cus I thought such a brand would carry some weight, but that turned out to be a mistake..

I had Logitech in mind, but to be perfectly honest, I have no goddamn clue where any of the computer shops are in the city, and I really didn't feel like treasure hunting with google maps and whatnot. Last time I had to take several trips far outside the city, to some doofus-shop that opens late and closes early, lazy asses... I just went to Clas Ohlson instead :M

If I buy something I cannot use, I'll throw it away. There is a sting, but if I can't use it I can't use it and often you can't return it either if you have opened the pack and stuff. They kindov expect you to know what you've bought. Bastards >:I

I am opposite with stuff that *does* work, if there is even a semblance of life left in something, I will use it to the fullest. Typically untill I outright hate the damn thing.. :D

I'm actually double-clicking this one a lot by mistake now, because of the different button resistance

An extra hard drive for the laptop. Also ordered a bracket and a cable to install it.
