What made you smile today?

That would make me ashamed to the point I'd sell all my earthly possessions and join a monastery. But it seems we have different standards in life.

Never thought I would agree with you twice in one month Ani, but I so share the sentiment.



However I don't agree with you about Amazon, in some ways they are supporting Mom and Pop stores. But it all depends on the type of store (product being sold) and what's the local. Also Amazon charges tax on states too;

The amount of tax charged depends upon many factors, including the identity of the seller, the type of item purchased, and the destination of the shipment.
Items sold by Amazon.com LLC, or its subsidiaries, and shipped to destinations in the states of Kansas, Kentucky, New York, North Dakota, or Washington are subject to tax.
For sales tax purposes, electronically delivered products (e-books, e-documents, and electronically delivered software) are considered to be shipped to your credit card billing address.
No sales tax is charged when purchasing gift cards; however, purchases paid for with gift cards may be subject to tax.

What made me smile today was reading a book and laughing for the first time in a long time without a care in the world.
