FWP 1: Yet again, Amazon Global sent the 'Package delayed, no idea when it will arrive, sorry not sorry' note. So far they are something like 0 for 20.
FWP 2: Why do I keep paying for expedited Global given their track record? Isn't repeating an action endlessly expecting a different outcome the definition of insanity?

Silk handkerchiefs - useless. Found one the other day in our household... Not practical at all. So why anyone would make and sell them? Or.. Buy them??? They are only good for dropping from a horse-drawn carriage awash in some perfume in the 19th century...
