A “telephone cord detangler” for my dad. (Yes, he has a landline and, yes, the phone we got for him has a cord. We got that phone because it has a small number of very large speed dial buttons that now have our pictures on them.) And a book. And a package of cookies to get to free shipping because I don’t have Prime.

I bought “Physical Models of Living Systems” by Phillip Nelson. Supposed to have some interesting simulation work in it.

I bought a new stopped/pusher for the kitchen sink. The old one seems to have disappeared during construction, and while it might still turn up, it seemed easiest to buy a new one.

I still have a landline, and I like those features of it.

The last few years we’ve done lots of 1000 piece puzzles but when we finish we wait a few days then crunch them all up and put them back in the box. I think I’m scarred from doing bigger puzzles since I did a 5000 piece puzzle in my 20’s. It took 3 years (2 1/2 years sitting on my floor half-finished gathering dust between the first 4 and last 2 months).

The last thing I bought on ebay was San Diego Charger tickets on the 40 yard line in 2008. I won the bid when Obama was giving his acceptance speech so I guess a lot of people were distracted. That was back in the days when they could beat the Chiefs (although only by one point).

I ordered a matte screen protector for my new car. This is the first time I’ve ordered anything from Amazon in a couple of months.

just cancelled my Amazon Prime subscription. I (and my people) don’t need the extra incentive to buy shit we don’t need because there’s free shipping. I was actually more enjoying the music and Video, but I have enough other options for those that I don’t need a third thing I don’t use enough to make it worthwhile.

I don’t have Prime, either, but it is the lack of Prime that makes me occasionally buy stuff I don’t need just to hit the free shipping min.

I ended Prime last summer. I don’t typically need what I want that quickly, and if I do I can try buying it locally or on [walmart.com](http://walmart.com) or any number of other competing websites.

If it were just me, I’d drop Prime, but my wife orders something weekly from Amazon. And my son orders a fair amount.

Pencil grips, to maybe teach my kid not to hold it in a fist like a knife.

And if you are wondering, the science on pencil holding is incomclusive at best.
