I've been paying for Amazon Prime for years. The free two day shipping was a lifesaver for me. I live in a part of the big city of Miami but the closet real book store is about 45 minutes away which is absurd. Luckily, right about when Barnes and Noble moved out of my hood, Amazon Prime came along. My kids were always needing books for school and it really became a life saver for me.
I order tons of stuff on Amazon now. Shoes, socks, printer ink, vitamins and shampoo are just a few of my most recent orders. It is so much easier than running around town trying to find exactly what I need and is usually less expensive than my local stores which is just crazy.
My love for amazon became greater last year when Amazon "Prime Now" became available in my area. This means that many items can be delivered to my house within two hours. For free. Yes, you heard that right. Cases of bottled water, flu supplies, 25 pounds of kitty litter and a king sized duvet are just a few of the things that have shown up at my door within two hours lately.
Today my apple mouse started to act wonky. I was in the middle of a lawyer project and the thought of heading to most germ-filled place on earth (The Apple Store in my mall) was too much for me to handle. As I rattled through closets looking for a back up, I decided to check Prime now. They delivered a brand new Magic Mouse 2 within two hours for $3.00 less than it would have at the mall. Now that is great service.
In other news, I'm writing in Limberbutt McCubbins on my ballot on Tuesday. I think old Limberbutt is cuter than anyone else running.

I use Amazon more that I should. But I am pretty house bound and with all my auto immune problems I am very careful where I go. Markets with hacking germy kids, malls, big box stores ..... especially at any holiday time. I just don't have the time or energy.
I love Amazon Prime but I think where I live I usually get my packages really fast.
Plus I only have basic cable (local news) and watch any program I want with Amazon Prime and Netflix.
(I sent my vote in early, even though it doesn't count as all these other states vote first and rob me of my vote counting. Plus hillary had all the super delegates even before the first vote was casted. Something like 300 hundred or 400 votes ? so I have already voted against Hillary.)
I am running for President with thehamish as my running mate.
My one and only platform is a Election that is a month long like Japan. One month of yelling then you vote and it is over !
Amazon should hire you !
cheers, parsnip
Japolina, I can not blame you one bit for doing the amazon thing...my gosh...that's quicker than getting dressed getting the car out , driving to the store, with crowds and "germs"...you are doing it right. Yes, Amazon should hire you. :):) Hope you and your fellows are doing well. I was just telling my daughter what a clever smart lady you are....I told her to check out your blog. Blessings to all of you, xoxo,Susie
I don't know what's wrong with me, but I haven't signed up for Prime. Talk about instant gratification! Pardon me, I have to go - think I will sign up right now!
