Saw someone say, "End your friendships with people who are going about life like nothing is wrong." I will never understand people who think that further isolating ourselves from everyday people who don't get it is going to save us. It's not. Your judgment and disdain will not save us.

There is nothing Amazon sells that cannot be purchased elsewhere.
I made my last purchase on 12/1. An order of gifts they promptly lost and I replaced elsewhere.
Folks should start buying direct from companies that have a website. Prices are the same and the original company keeps more profit.
