WTAH?
I believe they do tho I've never made an online purchase from them. I wonder if online fulfillment personnel still work? Hmmmm. It's not the same for me. I like to walk thru and choose my texture and weight. After this chicom wukungflu it won't be the same. We may never shop the same for items we want to get the feel of before buying.
NO!

+ + + The Chinese may be able to win a confrontation, even a war, with the United States. Under Obama's policy of surrender, China had a chance of overtaking us economically while growing its military until its primacy was a fait accompli. But Trump killed that dream with his trade war, exposing the inherent weaknesses of the Chinese economy > > >
I have posted variously with similar analysis. I do tend to doubt war, although the prize of Taiwan - not mentioned in the article - is extremely tempting to Beijing.
It has been a myth that China has outstripped the US and is now the leading world power; however, it cannot be discounted as a factor, as the article states. China has achieved its new global status due to our stupid {traitorous?} politicians selling the store and enriching themselves. I have cautioned POTUS in these trade negotiations to be tough, but not vicious; China must be permitted somewhat equal status.
Now, of course, this coronavirus crisis adds a new factor to the equation. Even the military has reported viral outbreaks in significant numbers on strategic naval ships - specifically an aircraft carrier. If one of our our first lines of defense is crippled, that could change the military balance of power.
The South China Sea could be a hot spot. China has violated global understanding of their aims in that strategic part of the world. Obviously they plotted to take control of a major global trade route, for whatever reason.
Did China scheme to plant the coronavirus, CoViD-19, in America? That may become a crucial question in the near future. The next move is China's. Perilous times.
I like to walk thru and choose my texture and weight. After this chicom wukungflu it won’t be the same. We may never shop the same for items we want to get the feel of before buying.
I’m like you. There are some things I don’t want to buy online.
Passe-A-Grille, FL. April 3, 2020.
Yesterday on April 2, 2020 a Passe A Grille resident snapped a picture of a cruise ship tender offloading passengers at a Passe-A-Grille Pier in Boca Ciega Bay. The resident posted the image to the Nexdoor app with the title, "What is happening here?!?!?!? The image showed the tinder and people in bio-hazard suits on the doc. The people exiting the tinder were COVID-19 positive patients.
Unfortunately all that is available as of this writing is a thumbnail of the original image which was deleted from the Nexdoor app. Here is a screen shot of the posting and a blowup of the thumbnail:
Original post on Nextdoor with thumbnail.
Response to the post.
Blow up of the thumb of tinder. Click for larger image.
A neighbor that received this post called the Pinellas Sheriff and was told this was known, but the public was not made aware. The Sheriff's Dept. said the tinder was from the Celebrity Infinity cruise ship. The Infinity is "waiting off of Florida's west coast". "We can confirm a fatality on Celebrity Infinity," Royal Caribbean spokesperson Jonathon Fishman stated. Currently, no guests remain on the Infinity.
The Sheriff's Dept further divulged the Infinity tinder was provided a Coast Guard escort paid for by Celebrity. The Infinity tinder is presently docked at Dolphin Village Marina in St Pete Beach. This is a developing situation as questions remain as to how many more will be offloaded in Passe-A-Grille, or what hospital the patients were being taken.
Tender, not tinder.
Excellent description. Thank you.
:)
Prayers for her and you.
Of course they can, these aren't going to be misdemeanors.
McSwain announcement is pretty profound
See what I get for not having an editor.
Prayers for her and for you.
Is there a way you could talk with her with a program like Zoom?
And I spelled it proper the first mention. Thanks for the catch.
While watching the President’s daily briefing, I was reminded that the ice-resistant, patrol-boat, sinking, ship we have been discussing is the Resolute when the President made reference to his Resolute desk. He said the name emphatically twice.
Ha! I’m thinking he’s trolling someone bigly.
For anyone who missed today’s briefing, it was GREAT! POTUS slapped the press idiots silly.
Prayers for you and your wife.
