I need this. And I bet I'm not the only one.

Ziggy Stardust Action Figure - Neatorama

Congrats on the goal-reaching, Liese!

Cash, that's great about the husband! I hope the transition goes as smoothly as possible.

DC--that's great about your mother.

My fingers are tightly crossed on the nursing thing too. Even though this past weekend had me rejected/undertreated by both ERs, the sample dose of the home orders was pretty effective. So I'm optimistic about whenever it starts.

Good lord, why am I having such a massive sinus headache right now? I think I might need a fucking lie down, and the work day just started. At least I'm working from home.

Bon's throwaway mention of some society douche lord I've never heard of has me way deeper in businessinsider.com than I've ever been before. Maybe that's the sinus migraine explanation...

Anyway: How many of you have had the way you think about shopping changed by any of these apps: [link] ? I've only used eBay mobile of the ten.

I use the Target app, but I wouldn't say it changes the way I shop. And I guess I've used the Starbucks app, but only for store locations.

Congrats to Mr. Cashmere and good luck with the bonus!

I don't shop via app. I find even the Amazon app to be kind of difficult: it doesn't give me all the information I need. Give me a full computer interface, please.

Kind of unsettling, but fascinating.

THAT'S AWESOME. I am going to believe in all of those. Plus, I need to set up my ham radio system, so I can get more information via anonymous shortband broadcasts about how the US Census bureau is giving me celiac disease! I need to know!

Also I'm thinking about abstaining from social media and wheat over Lent. These things are unrelated to me reading the above website, I swear.

eBay has enough specific functionality that an app is decently suited for me. I am curious about what app/meatspace store integration can bring to the table, but other than comparison shopping (and Amazon's app is designed for you to leave the store, not spend), I have to admit ignorance of the functionality they try and lure customers with.

Also, I'd want a "theoretically" vendor-neutral comparison shopping app, even as I accept it's not really going to make sense for anyone to do that.

Liese congrats! That's awesome!

Cash, that sounds like its good for DH but possibly a little harrowing for you being all single parent esque several days a week. Good luck!

Aw, man -- I forgot I had a massage scheduled for Saturday, and now it's cancelled! They live in the woods, so are concerned about the snow.
