My sister. one time. invited all her friends who didn’t have family to our family’s Thanksgiving that she was hosting that year. It was nearly 30 people. No having to choose between friends or family.
I buy from local stores when I can. But there are many, many times I’ve found something online that I would have no Idea even where to go to look for it.
The one time I was charged the same amount a few minutes apart from the same merchant my card sent me a text to ask if it was correct. (Just a coincidence. It was correct.)
I agreed with you until the putting people in space part. One has nothing to do with the other.
