Until you tell us you mutually share every password, I’m not buying this as a real commitment. ---

> [@kayaker](#): > > Yes! Everyone at work & home has me order their stuff. The downside is that Amazon thinks _I_ ordered things that I never would. They should have a “this isn’t for me” option. I’m almost positive they do have a checkbox somewhere you can check that will tell Amazon not to include that item in their recommendation algorithm for you when you’re buying it. You can also go to your account\>recommendations\>improve your recommendations and check Do Not Use for Recommendations on previously bought items. ---

That’s great, but please don’t go so far as to merge your Facebook accounts. I don’t think we could take that! ---

It was in the form John&Mary Smilth. It worked for them because they were in business together; he is a tattoo artist, she pierces and makes jewelry. They’ve recently set up seperate pages. ---
