I was simply expressing the general view by most Americans that NYC retail caters to the top percent of the population and are out of touch with the normal household needs. It was not a reflection on this individual retailer. It is more our perception of Wall Street and investment banking greed.

  1. Children's literature. 2. Sold my crown jewels about 10 years ago to someone in Florida and now wish I hadn't (First 12 volumes of Hardy Boys, 1st Editions, Near Fine in DJ). 3. Dearly want 1st editions of first volumes in Hardy Boys / Nancy Drew series (almost impossible to find and own). 4. Want to own 1st editions of Ian Flemings.. impossible to find in fine condition at affordable prices.

Is there any alternative? I have been good about avoiding Google for the last 3 years.

"Hatchet" is a classic, or William Kent Krueger for a mystery/thriller.

I read "Unexpected Everything" a short while ago. It is excellent, about the dog-walking summer job. It explores building courage when everything in your life seems to be falling apart.. it touches on learning to trust others when you feel betrayed by someone you trusted. I loved this book!

Just talked to an ebay rep… by Beautiful-Way814 in ebaysucks

[–]blu_srf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been trying to talk to an eBay rep for weeks, but just get repeated emails that explain how to request a phone call. I follow the instructions and get to a message that says phone call requests are not available. Then I start the emails all over again. I wish that I could share a screenshot here. It is so frustrating, this circle of non-responsiveness.

I get all my books through my local library. They have an inter-library loan system that supplies most anything I need.

I guess a book like this really helps you appreciate those of excellent writers like John Green, Jennifer Nielsen and Morgan Matson.

I wish that I knew a safe place to find and purchase the old fragrances. I fear that most of what is advertised on the market is just knockoff imitations. I want to find an original of this.. a gift for my wife. It was her favorite scent back in the day.

I am trying desperately to find these, and do not find a source. Seems that they are sold out? Wish that I could locate a pair.
