Hey Back, if you are using Firefox, you can find all your passwords (dunno about other browsers). Click on the 3 bars at the far right of the second line and choose the key icon, logins and passwords. Scroll down the left side till you see Amazon, click on it and click the little eye next to the \*\*\*\*\*\*\* representing the password. Bad, bad,bad. ---

My Amazon packages don’t have fun stuff like that. I got a 6-pack of pudding mix today, and they just put it in a padded envelope. ---

Yes. We’re not sure we like it. I also got some UHT milk. So the peanut gallery has yet to make a judgement on which one they like. The UHT is 4 times the price. As long as the regular whole milk is available we’ll use that for drinking and cold cereal. It seems like the regular milk availability has stabilized a bit. I want something to have stored in case this shit gets crazier. ---

Gaiters are great for skiing, hunting etc. But mostly they are for heat retention insulation in real cold. I’ve never heard of one for filtering before. Personally, I’ve never used a gaiter until -10 at the highest, so I can only imagine filter or not, they would be hell to wear in summer anyway. My personal orders, again got split up into separate packages, originally scheduled to be delivered over the last week. But then Memorial day weekend screwed everything up apparel, so now I seem to be getting every damn thing on Wednesday once again. ---

> [@Beckdawrek](#): > > Well, I got a refund on these. I knew they were too good to be true. I got mine, although it took a little longer than expected. For some reason I thought there was only one to a unit, so I ordered 2 so I could have one in the wash. Turns out there were two to a unit, so now I have 4 … I only need them about once a week, too, so I have weeks’ worth of use out of the 20 (10 to a unit) N2.5 (?) filters, plus I (finally) got a package of 50 N2.5 filters. I’m set for _years_. They’re nice, but they start to loosen a bit so I had to start pulling them back up after about half an hour. Luckily my grocery trips rarely take more than an hour. ---
