Thanks for the wake-up

...but...I...I...I don't even have an Amazon account. I won't do business with them (and several other large companies.)

have an amazon account and have never ordered from them, just last week I had my service provider remove the app (along with all the social media apps) from my phone when tthey were fixing some issues I was having. I told the very nice young tech that I hate bozo bezos.

heartless little magats. ."well, just go somewhere else and quit bitching." "other jobs have it worse" . I stopped reading in the first minute.

If someone needs something, I try to do it no matter what time of year it is. But I don't give any Christmas gifts.

I wouldn't give any Christmas gifts even if I were a Christian. That completely misses the whole point of the season.

Get books on CD from the library, ordered direct from a company to send to a local shop when I couldn’t find it there. I’ve even found another place to get my contact solution. Trying everything except Amazon.

It starts with the airing of grievances.


And I like to give gifts found at the thrift store.
So imaginative, and you can stretch those gift-giving dollars.

Some examples:

But definitely not the gifts under the tree at Mar a Lardo.

*snort* I know a couple of people who’d love these — including me!

I do.

this is is a hilarious gag gift. It would also be a decent as a joke gift box like the ones from Prank-O.

And somewhere in my computer files are photos of gag gifts.

Hadn't heard of that outfit. Perhaps they had the same idea.

There is no shortage of either Surprise Santa parties or people who need a "surprise"

Asking for a friend.

If not, I totally understand. I had one asshole of a boss who gave me a project to finish during Christmas week. "Take all the time you need ". Well, since it was data acquisition and plotting, I knocked it out in short order.

When the project lead started to use it, he was thrilled and asked for ZERO fixes.

Well, I hope that you got some extra pay for your holiday toil.

so people with kids could have them off

I just never cared about holidays, they are just another day to me

My Festivus pole is fully decorated!
