Which won't, I'm afraid, prevent me from ordering a Paperwhite Kindle. Betsy got one and she says it's fantastic, far superior to the Kindle Fire for reading.

Hah. My roommate is waiting on hers (it's backordered) and I'm jealous, but trying to remind myself I like my oldschool kindle fine...

Totally have heard about how Amazon treats warehouse employees badly. Of course, I also since I wrote that post saw that today, LandsEnd is offering 40% off, so I had to call them again and ask them for a price reduction...I mean, yay cheaper, but oy.

Yeah, I'd like to see some political messaging over not letting employers treat people like dirt.

What are you, some kind of communist?! Employees are so entitled! They feel entitled to a living wage, bathroom breaks, basic health care. Any employer knows if he wants to succeed, his job is to not care about them.

I'm in your spot. Not sure how long I'll hold out.

What we Americans go through to pick a president is not only crazy and unnecessary but genuinely abusive. Hundreds of millions of dollars are spent in a craven, cynical effort to stir up hatred and anger on both sides. A decision that in reality takes one or two days of careful research to make is somehow stretched out into a process that involves two years of relentless, suffocating mind-warfare, an onslaught of toxic media messaging directed at liberals, conservatives and everyone in between that by Election Day makes every dinner conversation dangerous and literally divides families.

Frank, I'm so sorry. Wishing all of you strength and good time together.

Scrappy, that's a great thing to hear. Finding the right doctor is one of the hardest parts.
