The wife is doing her part, I guess

The mailman dropped off some packages today.
One of them is from Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine.
Something she ordered off eBay or Etsy or somewhere.
So I guess their mail is still working, or was about a week ago.
I don't know what she bought, a plant stand I think.

Honestly, sometimes I think she doesn't look at the source or the shipping cost when she buys crap. Drives me nuts.

Uh, might have been better just to give to the refugee relief effort?

I ordered a Christmas gift off of Amazon (from Kiev) in November of 2021
It was a detailed map on leather and framed of any coordinates you choose.
Messaged back and forth numerous times re the details. (city, river and road markings)

It arrived and I was stunned at how nice it turned out. The seller (in Ukraine) was very helpful.

If anyone wants a link to his selling site...let me know.

The real test is how many times she goes to Target, Walmart, Costco each week for $50 to $100 per trip. Cause we really needed another bath mat or whatever.

Posting that for a friend.

She really doesn't have time to do that lately. Everything comes to the door. I'd say my mailman hates me, but there's a separate guy who delivers packages from the guy who delivers letters. Maybe there's a truck dedicated to my house, for as much as she buys sometimes.

I think I bought the last bath mat, I got sick of towels on the floor in the bathroom. She bought another plant stand somewhere, it was just sections of iron pipe, some caps, some elbows, and a tee. I think I could have bought the whole thing at Menards for about $10. Plants are the latest kick, a whole bunch of odd ones.

I notice people using their own judgments and consciences, instead of mine.

If she goes for a few days with no delivery, and the mail man or package delivery folks send a get well card, you know it is time to cut back on mail order.

I don't know about conscience but I've been trying to use other people's minds because I lost mine years ago.
