Yeah, they have us over a barrel in the rural areas. I was also surprised that we didn't have coverage for my vehicle's gps while we were in Baton Rouge. It's the frickin' capital of the state so you'd think it would have signal, but nooooo.
A friend of mine linked me the candies on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NCQBC97/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 but Mom said they are only about $8 at Costco vs the $15 at Amazon. I'm not sure if she's correct on the price though.
We were supposed to leave Tuesday morning, but it's supposed to snow out in our neck of the woods so Mom wants to postpone another day. She talked to her dog on the phone earlier. My brother reported that the dog just looked very confused. Then our cat, ********, heard us talking on the speakerphone and started yowling at us.
We picked up a bunch of See's candies at "the mall of shopping". I went and got my hair trimmed while my sister looked around the mall.
Earlier in the day I sat in a half-egg shaped massage chair in Costco (aka $4k modern torture device). It traps your arms and squeezes them-- like having your blood pressure taken-- squeezes the hell out of your legs and locks them in, pushes hard on your feet, rolls you on your back and then punches you in your kidneys. It actually managed to dislodge my kidney stone though. The lady running the demo was so busy showing the music feature to another customer that she didn't hear me saying "I want out of this thing!" for like 10 min. She eventually realized that I was not enjoying it and pushed a button to have it release me and get upright again. She was also telling the guy that other people couldn't hear the music-- only him. I said "I can hear it" and she says "Only at the beginning, Now you can't". and I was like "Uh, yeah. I can. I can hear the music from that chair." That was the point she set my chair in torture mode and paid more attention to the guy-- who seemed to be loving the chair experience. To each their own.
