Same idea.<\/p>\n<p>So ponder for a moment and decide if you are interested in continuing to visit this site or any other site you enjoy visiting.\u00a0\u00a0 If the site you enjoy, is never the site you buy anything\u00a0 from or through, you will never enjoy the places you buy things.\u00a0\u00a0 Some of the places you do enjoy visiting will vanish.\u00a0 Sometimes you have to vote with your wallet.\u00a0\u00a0 When you buy things from Amazon via the links on this site it does NOT change the price you pay.\u00a0\u00a0 It does help the site a little bit.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for visiting,<\/p>\n<p>Jeffrey R.
