So, you maybe already know this and I assume it works for everybody but if you buy shit at Amazon (and, really, who doesn’t?), you should get there by going to smile.amazon.com. They’ll then offer to set you up with a charity (or you can pick your own – I went with the CNY SPCA, ‘cuz it’s a no-kill shelter) and some rather small portion of your purchase goes to the charity (hey, it’s better than nothing). So do that.<\/p>\n
Rumor has it it’s gonna warm up today (after a potential record low – it’s 15° out there right now, and we need to get below 13 to set a record). Of course, if you’re in New England or Atlantic Canada, things kinda suck for you with blizzard conditions and 100+ mph wind. Sorry to hear about that, but better you than me.<\/p>\n
Then of course down in the south there’s some severe thunderstorm type stuff coming up, and I reckon it’ll be tornado season pretty soon. Not to mention the flooding and mudslides. And drought. Always something to look forward to.<\/p>\n

It’s “from.”<\/p>\n I mean, I’m no expert and make my fair share of mistakes (I prefer to think of them as “typos”) but Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n Sorry, just had to get that off my So, you maybe already know this and I assume it works for everybody but if you buy shit at Amazon (and, really, who doesn’t?), you should get there by going to smile.amazon.com.
