Doesn't look that way.

Um, is regular Woot running slow for you all of a sudden?

dontwantaname wrote:I don't know.
I want to go to sleep, but I'm wondering if there will be anything special for the sale.
also I need to know what happens when that stupid contest is over.

Yeah, I'm wondering if there's going to be something special tonight.

I'm trying to stay awake.

Tea only has about a third of the caffeine as coffee, so you'll only be up a third of forever.

So now you have your license, do you have a car yet?

I mean, we do buy stuff, but mostly we hang around.

But I buy stuff on Amazon, too.

I don't buy that much on Amazon

LOL - love the Woot.

Night all

Gatzby wrote:Seems silly to buy a car right now...

The obvious question is why? Or maybe I don't want to know since I just bought one.

And be sure to let us know how you like your kindle.

Night all. Tomorrow.

Mornin', wootazonians.

Good morning all. I'm stealing connection from a fast food joint.
Vacation has been great so far. Visit with daughter was fun. We were no closer than 500 meters from the rioting but did get a wiff of the tear gas...that was cool!
Temperatures are nice and cool, a great break.
Today is Canada day (like July 4th) so a whole day of celebration in my hometown. We will be home on Sat.
Hope you'all are all doing ok...I'll catch up when I get home.

Morning Woot-land.

Morning all. Baby-sitting two granddaughters today. Have the annual gynecology appointment. And have to get just about everything packed for camping tomorrow. Arghh!

Husband just took granddaughters to a kids water park. What a help that is.

Has this connection been made yet?

Amazon buys Woot. And then Amazon crashes...

I bet it was all the Wooters searching Amazon for a Bolsa de Caca.

Good morning/almost afternoon, nice here today too AZ.

WOW! I knew Amazon must have paid a lot for Woot, but I didn't realize it was this much. Good for the woot god.

Amazon acquired daily deals site Woot for $110 million in cash.

Guess I should have put a link.

wonder what woot's gross revenues were last year?

AZGman wrote:wonder what woot's gross revenues were last year?

Not sure, but according to an article that I read it was $164 in 2008.

Edit: Just realized that your eyes may not see the coloring difference on your screen. The $164 has a link to click on for the article.

Only a hundred sixtyfour dollars!!!!!!

(I can see links fine now; even finer after 22 July!!!)

Yep, if we only knew how little they made D'name could have bought them out and been on the top of that totem pole.

Good to hear your eyes are working for you better.

Off to get lunch. Hope your afternoon flies by quickly.

I hate military baloney.

I requested a prescription be renewed. Doctor knows I'm getting a divorce, and will no longer be eligible for military health care.

Decides to write the script for 90 days instead of the normal one year.

After being a military dependent for so long...it's really disheartening to see an officer behave so unprofessionally.

Oh...it's worse. They can get away with this bs, and there aren't any legal options. I can't even sue them.

Baffles me why some people want government healthcare. I've lived that option...it isn't great.

It's better than nothing for those willing to push and fight and watch out for their own care--but for the average joe who wants doctors to work miracles and fix all their problems without any work themselves...it's not much of a bump up.
