Amazon has a good service. I pay a yearly fee for shipping. Since I find it hard to physically shop I use Amazon alot. The yearly fee for shipping more than pays for itself. Plus if I do have to return an item the return is easy and free.

11:37 Rachel, make sure you are getting hands-on training for the use of the Lifevac. The time wasted trying to figure it out in the moment and doing it wrong, is VASTLY more dangerous than doing the Heimlich Maneuver even without proper training. The first thing to do is call 911 if someone is choking (if they can cough or make sounds they are not choking, yet) then perform the Heimlich. Matter of fact, let's make this a moment, for anyone reading this, to go down to your local Red Cross and get certified in emergency first aid and basic life support this month.

As a retired helicopter flight nurse the Life Vac is a must have. Especially when you have teenager baby sitters watching your kids. Always leave it on the kitchen counter and show the sitter how to use it. I actually purchased one for each of our vechiles in case we’re out at a restaurant or party and an emergency should occur.

Re: George with his toilet auger, I used to have a really old furnace - probably about sixty years old when I finally replaced it - and the pilot light would go out fairly often. I was calling someone to come in a few times a year to re-light it. The last time was on a weekend, and the guy charged me $80 (which was a lot at the time). I said, "OK, but only if you show me how to do it." So, he did, and I re-lit it myself every time after that.

George, toe rings specifically do not go fully under your toe so it doesn't hurt. It's like a 3/4 ring. I don't think I've bought more than 50 things off of Amazon and nothing in the last couple years. I know a lot of people who hate Amazon because the top people get so much of the profits (which is an eye roll for me) but say you can't survive without using Amazon. So I have been putting my money where their mouths are to show them how incredibly easy it is. They hate it so much and I've saved so much money by not having ease of access to whatever I want whenever the thought crosses my mind. It's been a win-win for us.

I’m with Rachel on the choking thing. Major fear. But it has actually happened at our house and I’m pretty sure I’m traumatized by it. We also ordered the lifevac, pack of two.

1 year Prime Day saved my tail. We had what my partly Irish 🍀 husband refers to as "Irish twins" (almost) 13 months apart. We were planning a big trip across country with 3 layovers. All we had was this amazingly high and awkward double stroller that was perfect for Park jogs but took up all the room in our car trunk... We couldn't afford a fancy travel stroller I'd drooled over - until Prime day made it 1/2 price - just in time!

My first Amazon purchase was an electric can opener in 2010. Most of my purchases are home items, electronics and international foods. I place orders about once a week. In 2024, I'm relocating overseas and one of my criteria was the country has to have Amazon or a similar online shopping platform. I actually ruled out countries that don't offer Amazon shopping.

I feared choking but I gave my little tons of food. I’m also a certified first responder though so I have absolutely done the heimlich on my baby multiple times for frozen blueberries. He loved them so much. Had to start putting them in those teethers because I was concerned it might be scaring him to choke twice in one sitting. Didn’t stop him from shoving as many into his mouth as possible though.

Guilty as charged question for the future, "have you ever bought a generic product and put it in the name brand container when it was empty? Eg. When a family member is particular about a certain brand, but you want to see if they'd notice a difference, without them knowing they're eating the generic version." Follow up question, "if you have, did you eventually tell them what you did- especially if they liked it the same?"
