August is Here

I will be sharing August tips on this post as the month progresses.

ZDancerLiz free LIVE zooms returned  August 7th. 
Liz is planning a basic Zumba every Saturday plus an additional Dance Fitness class on Mondays.
The next batch of links will be uploaded to Google Drive at the end of August for the July and August zoom recordings. Subscription still will be just $10 a month in spite of an extra 6 classes. 
Payments will restart Sept 1.

Nia with Megan is zooming again starting August 19th on Mondays and Thursdays at 2pm ET.

(I hope she can fix her audio because her voice gets garbled)

I started the month still visiting Liz's youtube videos:

Liz is now permanently storing her zoom files on Google Drive starting with the month of May but unfortunately, some great previous classes are not available on Google Drive.  I love the one done around St. Patrick's Day with a few Irish tunes.

I will be trying the new Yoga Chair Dancing Subscription on Yoga Vista TV which is just $35 for the first year with the code DANCES for 25% off.
(new accounts may be eligible for a 7 day free trial)

Bummer, for my first class on the new subscription above, I chose the one and only routine that had a muted song!!!!  Ironically, the song Amazing Grace is on the YogaJP youtube channel 
Otherwise, the Good Posture class with an Eagles tune preceding Amazing Grace was a great *feel good* class.  
Yoga Vista has both an Android app and a ROKU app which makes the sub worthwhile for me.
There  will be new dances added without ads which will not be available on youtube on either channel:

Just a quick Amazon rant.  Besides raising *buy again* prices (as much as doubling the prices of some recently purchased items), Amazon has had a few delivery goofs. One was a laptop that never arrived (we found a better one for less from Microsoft) and more recently a wired mouse which was never shipped.  The Marketplace seller had 100% negatives!  I didn't realize the color I chose was not coming from Amazon.  This Seller should have been banned from Amazon.  Anywho another seller sent the same item at the same price on the same day I ordered it.  I just received the cheap corded mouse I had ordered for hubby's laptop and it works so much better than several wireless and more expensive models. It is like having a new laptop!
I had ordered a small usb fan with a rechargeable battery which I really liked but on buy again, had doubled in price.  I waited a couple of weeks and saw it had returned to the cheaper price so I order another one.  Also ordered a headband with bluetooth ear buds for working out or sleeping because my son loved the gadget.  I really am enjoying it!
Another package from Amazon that was supposed to deliver the earliest last week and the latest yesterday only had a shipping label made the third day and was not physically shipped for several days.  It then spent several days in my state at 3 different USPS centers and then sent back to the shipper's state. This was mostly the fault of the USPS but the shipper could have sent it sooner after creating its label.

Buyer Beware.
Overall, I have found Walmart much more reliable than Amazon.
