Fluffie sock pimp

A year after signing up for the Amazon Associate program, I got my first gift certificate for ten dollars! That’s amazing, considering that my Amazon links were buried on a semi-secret page. Thanks to everyone who bought stuff. That is cool.
To celebrate, I am upping the whore quotient and putting an Amazon search box right on the front page. There it is. See it? If you use that search box or the link beneath it prior to your next Amazon purchase, I will make approximately seven cents*. I am house shopping**, so your seven cents is important!
And guess what else? Now Amazon is e-mailing “deals,” complete with pre-formatted associate links. Because you are a valued reader of this weblog, you are eligible for the following special offers:
- Gold Toe Men’s 12-Pack Black Fluffie Crew Socks - Only $19.99
- NordicWare German Gingerbread House Mold - Only $15.99
- 7-14″ Circular Saw – Only $99 after rebate
C’mon, everyone needs a circular saw and a few extra pairs of fluffie crew socks!
*Seriously, if you buy from Amazon, you should use someone’s referral link. Why not?
**I will likely leave fair Fairmount and become a resident of South Philly or Fishtown.

At last! Something to simplify the process of making a Gingerbread House! I have been searching for a utensil such as this for many years.
I cannot believe Amazon are paying you a paltry 7 cents for this vital public service you are providing. I would be willing to lobby Amazon on your behalf to ask them to increase your commission to 10 cents.
…sigh… we can’t even afford our own neighborhood when it comes to houses.
Yeah, yoko, it sucks. I’m trying to look at the bright side, though. Passyunk Ave. has good pizza and good cheese stores. Fishtown must have something. Anything?
However, if Tintil can get my Amazon commission increased, I might have a shot at Fairmount.
On second thought, I’m greatful that I can afford to buy a house at all, even if the location won’t be my first choice.
I have to hit page down approx two times before I see the search box. Donations should be easy, so I think it should be at the top of the page, with the cursor already in it. Then I can just replace my amazon link with this link. Paging down twice is too hard.
Hubbie, the obvious solution is to buy a longer monitor, which will reduce the number of times you have to page down. May I suggest that you purchase a new monitor through my Amazon referral link?
Seriously, thanks for the comment–I’ll think about moving the box. However, I don’t think I can put the cursor there. Can I?
GREAT WEBSITE!!!! I spent the whole afternoon and part of an evening on here.There is just so much interesting stuff that you can’t tear yourself away.I appreciate all the hard work that goes in to making a site this good.
