So...

Goodwill is GREEDY Part II

You may remember my post from 10/24 of this year, complaining about how unreasonable are the shipping charges for the ShopGoodwill auction site.

Today I found one of the most egregious examples to date:

For this listing: https://www.shopgoodwill.com/Item/45680407

Here's the shipping 'weight'
This is all kinds of wrong.  Handling is basically putting the item into a shipping envelope.  It's a FedEx envelope, so that's free, and it should take approximately 10 minutes to get it into the envelope, seal and envelope, and fill out the paperwork.  

But a shipping weight of SIX pounds for a item that actually weighs less than two ???

NOT acceptable.

blanket considerations

Soon it will be getting very cold in most places,

and therefore it will be VERY nice to have a throw blanket to wrap around yourself and/or your honey, for TV watching and that.

An attractive throw blanket is almost always warmer than a boring one.

Here are some VERY attractive ones:


Something fantastic for the antiquey decor

The Tuesday Song of the Week

I was so surprised when Fats Domino passed a couple of weeks ago, because I thought he'd gone to the Big Juke Joint in the Sky years and years ago.

Anyway, in honor of Fats...
