I would say they are circling the drain BECAUSE they used to sell these crap pillows. My thinking was “if they sell crap like this from a lunatic salesman, then I can’t trust any of their other merchandise either.” So I passed on buying anything from them, on the assumption it was shoddy crap. ---

Great place for a guy to walk in and tell the associate that you’re looking for a Christmas present for your wife. I always got great suggestions and always walked out with a (wrapped) present. (But I never bought her My Pillow). ---

> [@Fear\_Itself](#): > > Nikki Haley says President Biden will die before the end of his second term. Not actually an unreasonable prediction.

> [@Fear\_Itself](#): > > Nikki Haley says President Biden will die before the end of his second term. I’d rather a Dead Biden in office than a Live Trump.
