Hungary finally freed itself and the Russian scum lost it’s flunky. Europe also thanks the orange Giftzwerg* for providing a constant solid daunting example. We, here in Europe, know exactly what we do not want. After all, we learned our lesson over 80 years ago. Congratulations to the Hungarian people. We are glad to have you back with us.
* Giftzwerg (Gift – Poison, Zwerg – Dwarf), German term for a very toxic, irrelevant person who takes themself way to important.
That didn’t last long. Last week I deleted my Instagram account. Let’s face it, we are just not Insta compatible. Ami isn’t a Chihuahua, she does not like to wear any cloth, glasses, hats, shoes or coats, let alone costumes. We do not go to fancy places and I’m not into all that beauty stuff. I see no value in fake hair, fake lashes, balloon lips, fake finger nails and fake double D’s. It just doesn’t make sense to me, because to me it feels like a lie. I like to be original. But beside of that, I think it’s most about that there is more stuff that I really do not want to see than things I would like to see, let alone all that AI garbage. Instagram just doesn’t make me happy and the one rule I always follow is: “If it doesn’t make you happy, it has to go.”
Recently we joined Instagram, just to give it a try. So far I’m not impressed but I’ll give it some time. So there are people sharing Amazon hacks, like they do on YouTube. You know, the latest stuff you have to order and how to get free things. I personally stick with my own Amazon hack. It’s very simple and very straight forward. I didn’t renew Prime when it was running out this summer and I stopped ordering. There are maybe just 2 things left that I still might order there, but all the regular stuff comes from elsewhere now. Sorry Amazon, no more money from (and much more money for me in addition to much better customer service and no more garbage products. And it wasn’t even hard. I just needed to stop being lazy. For example Ami’s food, before I ordered it at Amazon (plus shipping regardless of Prime), now I order it it at local online pet supply dealer (same dog food, just cheaper, less shipping and it arrives on time). My Vitamins, before from Amazon, lesser quality, plastic bottles and I believe some had shipping fees too (regardless of Prime). Now I order at Sunday Natural, premium quality and NO plastic *happydance*. The package/packaging material is completely made from cardboard and their bottles are made from glas. Shipping is free when I order enough, else it is a small fee. The list goes on. The only things I still order at Amazon is my Swiffer Wet 4 times/year (for some strange reason it comes at the best price) and sometimes a diamond painting set.
I don’t miss Amazon one bit and I’m much better off without it. Who knew that stopping being lazy would be so much fun and so rewarding.
mir ist durchaus bewußt, dass sich alle Aldi Filialen, abhängig vom Standort, größe der Örtlichkeit, etc, unterscheiden. Unsere lokale Filiale ist da allerding ein ganz anderer Schuh. Wie soll ich es nur sagen ohne gleich so negativ rüberzukommen? Versuchen wir es einmal so . . .
7 Gründe warum ich viel lieber bei Lidl einkaufe:
Lieber Aldi, lass es doch einfach, wenn du deine Kunden nicht zu schätzen weißt. Ich bin sicher, es würde sich ganz schnell jemand finden, der sich über die Räumlichkeiten und die damit verbundenen Möglichkeiten freut.
