However you feel about Amazon as an organization--and I admit to mixed feelings--you can't deny it provides a convenient service. I've been an Amazon Prime subscriber for close to a decade and have enjoyed ordering gifts for family who live in other cities or states, having Amazon deliver directly to their homes within two days. It's saved me from being late on Christmas or birthday gifts many times over the years. When the pandemic started, I actually cut back on my Amazon ordering for a while, since I didn't need many goods for quarantine life. After a few months, though, things started to settle down, and a few family members had birthdays. My Amazon shopping has gone up again. It means fewer trips to a store, less possible exposure to Covid, less gas burned (and fewer emissions contributing to greenhouse gases), and more time saved for all my new quarantine activities (the afternoon nap, the puttering in the garden, the composting, etc.). Our church is currently conducting a hygiene kit drive for Louisiana hurricane victims, and I ordered almost all the supplies for 12 kits from Amazon! All I had to do was stuff the bags. I've made use of many other online shopping sites in recent months as well: Walmart groceries, HEB grocery, Home Depot, and a few independent sites. When they have the products I want, I'll use them. But I'll still compare prices to Amazon. I just love how easy they make it to shop. I'm a slightly guilty fanatic. In fact, I'm dubbing myself the Amazon Queen! --Janice
