My BF today is that I came up for lunch after DH and find him watching Youtube from his phone instead of on our TV. I ask why and find out that out of the blue the TV screen is messed up blinking and there are these goofy lines across the bottom (not dead pixels). No idea what the heck happened as it was fine last night when we had dinner (Bonefish Grill of course cuz you know me). So yeah... boo for spending money I wasn't expecting to today.

@inthewoods23 one of these day when I'm somewhere that has a Bonefish Grill, I'm going to go there and think of you as I eat. Sorry for the unexpected expense. But also YH... lol. I feel like that's something mine would do: find a temp solution to avoid/postpone dealing with the actual problem.
Okay so, FML 🤦🏼♀️I just realized the issue with my Amazon order. Over the holiday, I had ordered something for delivery to my BIL/SIL who live in Germany and somehow Amazon decided that would be my default address. To date, I haven't bothered to figure out how to change the default back to our our address, and just changed the address manually each time I ordered. Well, this wasn't the case with this order. So, on top of ordering a new pack of OPKs, I just had to WhatsApp my BIL saying that "hey, this is coming your way; no need to send it to us and just keep it for when you're TTC." Erm, it's a good thing that I have a rather good relationship with the BIL (have known him since 2011.) Efff... I'm both laughing and crying at my mistake.

@acleverusername I think the closest to CA is in CO (I've of course looked this up for my brother in AZ). It's part of our routine to watch youtube while we have lunch so of course he's going to watch on his phone. And really it's fine.... that TV is 10 years old. 43" non-smart TV that he said he bought back then for $1400 when he still lived with his parents (and I was still in college!) Crazy how cheap TVs are these days.
As for your Amazon issue - that should be under your account settings. You might even be able to change the default when you're selecting/changing the address for it to go to when you're putting in an order. At least those Wondfos aren't a major expense lol. Reminds me that I need to go buy some more HPTs. Because apparently 3 isn't enough for me for next cycle even though that's exactly how many I use in a cycle that's not successful (CDs 10-12).

@acleverusername You should be able to edit the order of it hasn’t actually shipped out yet. Also, I feel the same as you about Bonefish Grille. Never heard of it but def want to eat there after ITW23’s yummy mentions of it.
@inthewoods23 Sorry about the TV. Surprise costs like that are so irksome. BTW, you are directly related to my Monday BF: after hearing from you how delicious the gluten-free Oreos are, I tried to buy some this weekend at Target. They have ALL the flavors—except no GF. I can order them on the website and receive them in two weeks.😩 I want them now!
@acleverusername I have done this too, but only to my mom, and not with OPKs.
My BF is just how much snow and ice and sleet and rain that then freezes into ice we have had. Remember how January last year every one said it felt like the month that lasted forever? That's how this winter is starting to feel.

As for your Amazon issue - that should be under your account settings. You might even be able to change the default when you're selecting/changing the address for it to go to when you're putting in an order. At least those Wondfos aren't a major expense lol. Reminds me that I need to go buy some more HPTs. Because apparently 3 isn't enough for me for next cycle

I have done this too, but only to my mom, and not with OPKs.
My BF is just how much snow and ice and sleet and rain that then freezes into ice we have had. Remember how January last year every one said it felt like the month that lasted forever? That's how this winter is starting to feel.
