Unknown to me... my brand spankin' new two dollar and sixty-six cent camera remote was waiting patiently in my mailbox. Two of them, actually. I hate to consider any cheap plastic from China a disposable item, but, well... I lost my first one months ago and I have sorely missed it. So I ordered two.
Since the first one never turned up in the washing machine, I'm assuming it went through the lawn mower.
Wanna know how much shipping cost? For my two tiny $2.66 items which came to a whopping $5.32 subtotal?
It's partly why I ordered two, you know. If I'm going to pay shipping on one miserably small purchase, I might as well double what I'm getting. I'm right, yes? Right?
In my best Chinese accent: one dollar (you have to say it really fast)
I know. I could hardly believe it either. Good thing I ordered two!
But wait, it gets better! Allow me the pleasure of reading a bit of the user manual to you:
"Use this remote to picture yourself, picture your family union. No body is missed."
Oh! But wait! Wait! It gets even better!
The dumb thing isn't even supposed to work with my camera.

Hope these 2 stay in good working order for a long while. :) Love the "autumn-y" photO!
Ahh, boo! It stinks not having a remote. My battery has been dead for months and I can't remember to replace it to save my life!! The colors in that photo are so beautiful!
Good gracious girl - I love the little one I got, but I think it costs more than what you paid.
That's a cool shot! :D
Chinese accent. *giggle*
Oh my, what a great deal on two remotes! Love user manuals that have been translated! Hilarious! I hope that they work with your camera anyway. They do make life much easier!
I can’t believe I somehow missed your post on the lawnmower; maybe it was to spare me from my chicken cravings!!! Oh my goodness, they are just so BEAUTIFUL! Despite their t-rex tendencies.
Head desk. Head desk.
I have not even pulled my remote out of the box because it said it was not supposed to work with my camera.
Perhaps I should have tried it?
Lovely shot, btw!
It's a gorgeous shot- and what a BARGAIN- love those
But it does work with your camera? Crazy!
Very cool shot.
You sound like my husband with your comment about the "you have to say it fast"
You always crack me up.
I hope you are doing well.

Beautiful photo, Jess. I love it.
