Spring Cleaning meh-ration - March 12 IRK reveal
5Arrived today. Spent just under $130 to get the free IRK. Saved $90 on shipping, though, since I’m a member. It’s like the spouse who says they saved gobs of money because the stuff is on sale.
2 - Bernini Table Guard Fly Fans - goes with the 6 I bought on this meh-rathon
2 - Get Neat with Lisa box organizers
2 - Solid Gold cat food - for the feral cats in the neighborhood to keep the rats out of my house
1 - Aduro U-Stream Selfie Mini with remote
1 - Green IRK bag
Not a killer IRK but still useful, except for the cat food.
Thank you meh.

@rcwbbb I like the green irk bag
I’d say there’s a whole lotta instant regret in that IRK.
@ItalianScallion Agreed. Mine set the bar pretty low. Let’s see if it goes up from here. $50 to play this IRK was pretty steep.
Mine is still in Texas
@pattyrusk1 YAS! Finally made it to California and is scheduled to arrive Monday
@pattyrusk1 Arrived March 24:
2- Canned cat food
1-Dove antiperspirant
1-Green/Yellow IRK bag
1-Dermalactives Firming Serum
1-Crane Hepa Air Purifier
THANKS Meh
All my irks have been major regrets. I’m done. Lol
@oo100
@aetris @oo100
/showme a jar of expired pickled eels
Glad I resisted the urge this time
@tinamarie1974
Yeah right, who am I fooling… 
I should find out Monday.
Hopefully that was just the bottom of the barrel, the only dud!!
I didn’t make the same smart decision as you but I’m afraid to speak the words and end up manifesting total regret! With THAT being said… I’m going to get the best IRK ever!
@Lynnerizer
@Lynnerizer @tinamarie1974 Would say “ditto”, but i don’t have that many pairs of fingers.
@Lynnerizer @tinamarie1974
Hopefully you do
My IRK came a day earlier than expected, that was a nice surprise!
My guy was really excited about this IRK for some reason, maybe he thought we were due for something fun and exciting! He actually snuck it past me and opened it before I even realized it had been delivered! He usually just does a quick peek and saves any unwrapping for me. 
You know, like a child! Lol 
The best thing is usually the IRK bag, (or at least lately it has been) today’s was dark green with yellow. Didn’t disappoint, no regrets there!
This is what I got… Everything was new and unopened!
*Four cans of cat food that I never saw and our guy Tuc wouldn’t even taste it after he got a sniff. No surprise there though since he’s not a fan of any kind of wet cat food. Even tuna, he just snubs his nose and might drink a little of the juice.
*Active Research women’s compression tights, black, in a size medium. Google lens search shows them from $10 to $39. My sister or mom will probably take these, it just depends who they’ll fit.
Now, for the expensive item… Which really doesn’t mean too much. Lol
*PRÉDIRÉ - Paris Non-Surgical Solutions Bio Organica multi purpose touch screen skincare mask. 8 element pro new generation with color LED light, it’s cordless and a limited edition.
Yeah right!
After I research it I’ll decide what I’m gonna do, keep it or gift it. Both my sister and I are at THAT AGE when something like this may be helpful. Or maybe it would’ve been more helpful had we used it in our 40’s, IDK? 
I’ll see what I find… Although, we do/did (
) have pretty good genes to start off with. 
BrookStone has it listed just under $300, FB has it listed for $1,200 on sale for $600.
If anyone knows anything about this thing, experience with it or anything similar, please feel free to chime in!
I put together a picture with everything except the cat food. Instead, I included the cat.
That picture was taken 15 minutes after he was given that can of cat food to try, and 10 minutes after he calmed down from going crazy and attacking my arm! I didn’t put 2 & 2 together until just now. He was so angry and determined in biting me that I was just about to call my guy for help when he walked thru the door. (I’m dead serious) Tuc hadn’t ever been THAT relentless and obsessed with biting before. Hmm … what’s really in that canned cat food? 
Lol… He was ANGRY! 
Oh, BTW, I was able to find 5 items I needed (or could gift) and I used my coupons for every one of them. I brought the price of my IRK down by $25.
YAY ME! 
Thanks Meh!
@Lynnerizer
I could have done with that back in high school and college. I’d always get quadratic equations stuck to my teeth.
@Lynnerizer @OnionSoup I think I had a calculus remover that removed calculus from my brain after taking it the first time around. Had to take 2 semesters of that class as an undergrad not having pre-calculus nor trigonometry so had a lot to teach myself.
Then a bunch of years later I had to use it in a PhD econ seminar that was mostly proofs using calc. OMG that was torture. Had to reteach myself and was in the undergrad math lab a lot for help. If we could set up the formula they’d help us solve it. On an exam I knew how the proof ended (these were often a page long single spaced on notebook paper proofs). I stole from the cartoon I had seen when I forgot how to do the next math and put, “And a miracle happened here” and then put the final line of the proof. I got a D on that question. That prof had no sense of humor.
I bet you guys think that’s a typo… Right ?
Well, unfortunately I cut off the text from the box in the pic.
@Lynnerizer @OnionSoup I thought it was a pun. Now I know it was made in China with predictable translation results.
@Kidsandliz @OnionSoup
Right!
@Kidsandliz @Lynnerizer I DID think it was a typo or an autocorrect error.
That is so funny!
Maths was one of my favourite subject until I took calculus and I had to take a couple of calculus classes… Calculus made me hate maths. I remember nothing of calculus now other than hating it and the teacher of one class looked like Spock
@Kidsandliz @OnionSoup
I KNEW calculus wasn’t for me so I never put myself in the predicament to hate it or to FAIL trying to figure it out!
IDK if that makes me smart or a coward? Maybe a smart coward… Lol…
@Kidsandliz @Lynnerizer I’d be willing to bet that less than 1% or people who have taken calculus have ever needed to use it after ending the class.
And of that fraction of a percent that have used it. 99% used it because they became maths teachers themselves.
@Kidsandliz @OnionSoup
🟰 
That’s a good question… Maybe we should take a poll and see?
How do you get your math on…
Have not taken a photo yet because I just had hip replacement surgery and bending/moving to set-up items for a picture is not so easy, but, I scored big!
Olympia brand Voyager series 3 PC hard sided luggage in navy blue.
Green IRK bag
10 bags of cherry-lime hydration packs
1 beanie cap
1 new-in-box wireless ear buds
@cbilyak Woohoo! Haven’t you been hoping for some luggage?
Good luck on healing up fast!
@Kyeh I think it is Star that has been wanting luggage, but when we opened it, my husband said he needs luggage so I think we totally won this IRK
and I love the beanie too. So grateful.
@cbilyak Great!
@cbilyak Great score!
Luggage for hubby and a new hip for you, that sounds like you both scored big! Good luck with your new hip! 
Wow. Two great IRKs after mine. I want to amend my comments. Spring Cleaning meh-rathon. I got taken to the cleaners.
Mine came today.
1 Cuisinart kitchen scale, which is the same as the one I recently bought here on Meh.
1 winter jacket, size medium (I wear size 2X)
2 cans of cat food, will offer to the farm cat.
1 travel power plug adapter (another thing I bought here recently. Go figure.)
1 green IRK bag
Thanks, Meh.
@Pony
Too bad it’s not in your size. 
Funny how you just bought a few of those items, at least you’ll have back up should they break!
Nice! That looks like the short version of the coat I got last year in an IRK, my sister said it’s really warm.
@Lynnerizer I also got a long coat last year- also too small. It fit my best friend, though. I’ll offer this one and the scale to our cleaner, she takes a lot of my unwanted IRK stuff off my hands. The power plug I had bought as a gift for a friend who actually gets to travel. It’s useless to me.
@Pony love the jacket! I’m a medium and I would be interested in it
I haven’t posted a pix bc its beyond me, but i spent $50, then bought 6 different items so -$30 and my IRK included the IRK bag, a $39.99 valued SS tea kettle(nice!) 2 cans cat food I can use; a crystal/glass or zirconia necklace. Not bad. I did waste $ on the pineapple & cherry lime drink mix which has heart attack/stroke written all over it=MonkFruit. So some wasted some not. Tea pot is incredible!
