in with the new, keep the old on the shelf...

I believe both Amazon.com and Viptrades.com are deceiving to me as to when my parcels will arrive.

And I'm concerned enough to check on them at 2:00 in the morning.
...
I have a new pocket dictionary, over 120,000 words, phrases and definitions, hardcover. My faithful friend of 20+ years lost it's front paper cover, an old Webster II, it sort of just fell off. I think it wants to retire, so I welcome the new chap and hope it will serve me as well as its predicessor predecessor.

One of my hobbies is reading the dictionary, I usually don't remember any new words, I just like looking about.
