What's making you happy today? - Page 810

As their advertising rates are routinely in the "6% of sales" range, you can rest assured it's bullshit.*

*Bullshit that the percentages aren't higher, I mean. The money really does go to the charities, and the prices of the products are the same. The catch is you have to type in the "smile" bit at the beginning of the address (or bookmark it or whatever) every single time. You can't just say "I designate this charity for all my sales forever."

I didn't know that, they didn't make me designate when I signed in so I guess I have to at checkout.

I logged in to check it out, but haven't checked to see if the prices are the same both ways. Amazon claims they started this separate system to be spread by word of mouth through charities, friends, and neighbors. The 0.5% comes from the savings of not having to advertise. Sounds like bullshit to me, but I can see where if you're buying something online why not get it from Amazon and help your charity.

Been using Amazon Smile for years. Prices are the same ...like CF says, just bookmark the smile link to your account

Yes, it's been around for six years and I'd never heard of it. I asked several people and got a blank stare. Got it bookmarked now.

henry quirk · 04-23-2019, 06:12 PM

I've made it as good as I can.

Now comes packagin' it up & sendin' it out (over and over and over...)

Time to start sumthin' new.

I'm tickled this afternoon having just won a radio contest!

I was the first caller to identify this soundbite:

What I won:

KOMO Afternoon Soundbite

Tune in ALL DAY to KOMO News Radio and you could win!
Listen at 4:30p as we play the Sound bite of the day. Correctly identify who it was and you could win:

A pair of tickets to see

Ciara

Friday, September 13th at the Washington State Fair!
Pre-sale starts Wednesday, April 24th at 10 AM with pre-sale code: radio.
Regular on-sale, Saturday, April 20th at TheFair.org!

And, a ride on the Kitsap Fast Foot Ferry!
Sprint across the Sound at a top speed of 35 knots aboard the M/V Finest! / Summer sailings begin the first Saturday in May and run through the end of September!

Plus, Breakfast/lunch for 2 at the Sunbreak Café in Auburn!
Serving award winning breakfast and lunch since 1982!

Extra degree of difficulty: I was driving home on the freeway at the time. Anticipated the contest on the car radio, dialed immediately via wireless headset, first ring, first caller, first answer! First time, no warmup!

Thank you Michael Cohen!

Gravdigr · 04-24-2019, 07:35 PM

Woot?

BigV · 04-24-2019, 11:50 PM

Yes, woot!

I have fun winning even if the main prize was a mystery to me until I asked my daughter who the heck was she. Turns out she's married to Russell Wilson, QB with a new $$$$$$$$$$$ contract with the Seahawks. BelovedDaughter says she's not so much of a fan of Ciara because she thinks she's a distraction for Wilson. Football nut, my daughter!

Gravdigr · 04-25-2019, 11:24 AM

Then, WOOT!!!

Gravdigr · 04-29-2019, 12:01 PM

Drowning them in the shit they're bitching about...
