And for four bucks extra you can get something delivered TOMORROW. Amazon Prime is one of the top 10 greatest things about America right now.

All right, fine. You just found Amazon. What you want to do right now is go sign up for Amazon Prime, which is something like $70 a year, but which gives you free two-day shipping on 80 percent of the stuff on their site. It's worth it just for Christmas shopping; the rest of the year is gravy.

Be careful where you are going with that, don't want to let Z find out the truth about Santa yet

I get that and am kind of the same way, but it is a difficult website to completely avoid . Would've thought you would've at least accidentally stumbled upon it at some point

Yeah.. I mean I've ordered some stuff off braves.com and a pair of running shoes off eastbay.. But I'm not normally killing time looking at pictures of stuff representing what I'm supposedly buying

The Amazon phone app has a bar code scanner in it which will let you scan products at the store, see how much cheaper they are at Amazon, and if you have Prime, make them magically appear at your house for way less money if you can wait for two days. You can still do your shopping at the store, yet you get to save money.

I'm legitimately excited for Brown for getting to discover Amazon right now. It's like someone getting to watch Star Wars for the first time.

Haha I guess you don't want my opinion on Star Wars then..

I will definitely look into that app though

Amazon Prime was the lifechanger because it can replace a pretty big chunk of your casual errands by eliminating shipping costs. Example: the boy left his football out in the rain. I needed a new football. I could either take 30 minutes out of my life to drive to a store to buy a football, or I could buy it on Amazon and have it show up the day after tomorrow for nothing. Now multiply that times the refrigerator water filter, a book the kid wanted, a car charger for the wife's phone, a watch battery, etc -- all stuff I've needed in the last few weeks -- and it's just a huge timesaver compared to driving all over town.

Anyway. More beer.

1. I also initially hated it.
2. As I had read, though, after a day or so I got mostly used to it, though some stuff is still annoying. And Mrs Verc's phone does look old now now
3. If you're on a 4, then I've read that the animations are pretty slow and it makes the whole thing feel slower. Fortunately you're thinking about upgrading.

I wouldn't say I love it now, but I no longer hate my phone like I did for the first two hours.

I just put in my bets for tomorrow, i took Michigan State, Stanford, and Rutgers. What do you think?
Click to expand...

Arizona st is a popular sharp play this weekend I believe.
I think Rutgers is better than ark but never know what to expect with sec athletes out of conference.
Don't know anything about notre dame or michigan st honestly. Did you go straight up/spread/parlay/teaser/pickem?

Obviously I haven't used it that much, but I've been messing around with it since it finished. I initially thought everything was too bright and cartoonish but it's already growing on me. Looks less archaic. I'll delve more into additional features and what not tomorrow, but I guess I'm going to like it alright
