I bit my tongue.


What did she want?

If she is morally opposed to Amazon or gift cards, I understand. Cash is a nicer gift.


Oh, please. I’m morally opposed to Amazon, so I don’t spend my own money on them, and I pass along any gift cards to charities that can use them.

I sure as heck wouldn’t have a tantrum over an elderly relative giving me one. The friend is an offense-seeker
