If I'm going to enjoy the incredible convenience (and taxation breaks that I do NOT report on my income taxes)
of online shopping, there is no way I'm going to whine about some shipping charges. If I can't bear the $$$
burden, then I can go to my local FLAPS (if they even have what I'm after) and get it there.


My gratitude and thanx to our vendors (all of them) for this great convenience.


Bob … whom does not want cheese, so why waste the whine.
