A merchant has canceled the order for the fun flashlight I ordered Ferdie (age 11). Where can I get a similar "fun" item that delivers by Xmas?
There's a part of me that is tempted to get him Disney pins, but Santa picked him up a set for his stocking and I'm giving him a DCL one.

Is there anything at Stupid.com that isn't too over the top? My daughters picked out like 10 things there that they wanted (and all things without bad words).

It's an annual service that you pay for to get free 2-day shipping throughout the year. I think it's $60 or something like that? You have to shop at Amazon a lot. But if you do, once you pay for it you can have stuff shipped free all year. So I paid in May and then for Christmas I placed literally about 12 different orders and had all of them shipped to me 2-day shipping for free. Because I live close to a hub, I actually get all of the books and movies the next day for free.

Aren't you glad it was HIM that ran over the snow blower rather than you?? :rotfl:

I am picturing the poor snow blower and remembering my husband running over his briefcase. I was hysterical laughing. It looked like a pancake.

The best part was that he kept going and dragged it the whole way down the street!!!

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Here's hoping he doesn't raise the insurance rates for your office. ;)
I think it is $79 a year. I have gotten my money's worth because I no longer waste money on fillers when I order from Amazon (I shop at Amazon a lot. The day we can get cashback I will frolick in the streets).
