  1. It’s funny how we all differ. I far prefer to buy online, but I always work towards free shipping or some other discount. I recently read somewhere that you should search for promo codes before buying anything so you can maximize any discounts. The very first thing I bought online after reading that, I googled promo codes and saved 20%.

    I am amazed you saw that bittern in the wild because I could barely see it in the photo.

    • I still can not get used to not having purchased item in hand :). I did search from any promo’s but found none. I spend a bit of time researching the company customer feedback also.

      I heard the Bittern and turned and saw a flash that was more golden in color than the reeds. I lucked out getting the shot. They are good at camouflage as most birds are.

  2. Wow, that photo is amazing — almost like a puzzle finding it. For a while, I did lots of online shopping, until I inherited a Trojan Horse. Now, I’m very careful. Was there a bat in this post? They scare the bejeebers out of me!
    Peace,

    • Oh can you imagine how crazy the pic would be if it were a puzzle! Yikes!

      The bat was mentioned at the end part of the Wumpus game. Finding the Wumpus without getting had by the bats and cave was sort of similar to the finding the Bittern.

      I have been very lucky and have not been hit with any evil virus or trojan’s I so have learned my lessons the hard way. I am over cautious.

  3. Wow – great catch on the bittern.

    I buy a lot of things online and like Cranky, recently started searching for and using promo codes. However, I prefer to pay via PayPal with various merchants.

    Yep, I have no illusions about the privacy. Google has ticked me off recently by a few things, but I’m in rather deep — gmail (had it since its beginning), chrome (way faster than other browsers), blogger (ok, my blog is a bit cold at the moment but…), and G+ which is the one google product that I could do without if it weren’t for one person 🙂 So… uh, yep.

  4. Well this was my first online purchase and everything arrived undamaged so I guess . …

    Privacy, I have trouble wrapping my little mind around the deal that many people, institutions, and our government do not get that that everything I do is not necessarily their freaking business.

    Then again I remember phones that had a dial, walking miles and never being on camera somewhere and when computers took up a space larger than my condo.

    Who me? LOL
