Never thought I'd be needing them

Nobody got a BOC from woot?

I have gotten 5 BOC - 95% of them was pure crap. Some of the useful things - post-its, pens, an iPod docking station, some face/hand creams that my wife used, a couple of woot t-shirts

Some of the most useless stuff:
- Laptop bag straps, a laura ingrahm doll

And the most bizarre:
- A 6-pack of assorted color bras that didn't fit anyone in my house.

Does that come with baby formula?

Well, I got those free button batteries last week. Still have no clue what they fit in.

Hashgacha protis!

My kid just came over to me somberly and asked me to change the batteries of his Playmobil lights/siren from his toy ambulance. So I got out two AAA batteries and a screwdriver and got to work opening the battery cover to change the batteries. What do you know? It takes button batteries! I've never stocked them before, and have no clue about the various different models. But I did get that deal, so I checked those batteries, and... it's the exact batteries I need. Two of them, exactly what the deal was!

And so my useless impulse buy (buy?) found a home in a Playmobil toy and my kids is exuberant with joy. Refuah kodem la'makah.

And thus ends my over-dramatized tale.
