She didn’t like her Christmas present, and told me.

Amber @AmbiePam (93931) • United States 12h

NJ Chicaa I'm so sorry that happened to you. It is good that you found someone to appreciate the gift. Personally I would never in a million years tell someone that I didn't like something that they gave me. NEVER. It 100% the thought and intention that counts.

And There Goes Party City

Jim Bauer @porwest (92624) • United States 21 Dec

As Party City, which shortly followed Big Lots, marks yet another business going out of business, one theme continues to mark at least part of a rationale for the reason why, the big excuse being growing...

How Much Would You Pay for Concert Tickets?

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (121729) • Gainesville, Florida 21 Dec

I used to think it was preposterous for people to pay outrageous prices for concert tickets to see their favorite musical act. Then, Taylor Swift came around with her Eras tour and it seemed everybody was dropping their entire...

NJ Chicaa I ordered an 18-pack of eggs in today's order. They were like $7.50. It was replaced by the shopper with a 24 pack. I think I wound up paying over $9 for them. @porwest would die at that. I pay for them because I need them for my cooking and...
