Amazon discontinued the ability to create images using their SiteStripe feature and in their infinite wisdom broke all previously created images on 12/31/23. Many blogs used this feature, including this one. Expect my archives to be a hot mess of broken book cover images until I can slowly comb through 20 years of archives to make corrections.

How You Spell Denial
W-E-N-D-Y
Yes, this was still on my key chain as of this afternoon.
I bought a new wallet recently and had to transfer everything, which led to making choices. Mine was hooked inside the coin compartment. It was very hard to purge, but I put it in the tray on the kitchen shelf with foreign coins and single earrings and all the "strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff."
Ah, Anna, I don't think putting it into the foreign coins/single earring bowl will bring Borders back. It hasn't worked with that beautiful carnelian earring I lost the first time I wore the pair! For weeks I scanned buses and sidewalks JUST IN CASE it was trying to get home to its twin. Periodically I look at the lonely singeltons and think that there HAS to be something I can make with them. The coins from thirty years ago trips to Europe aren't even used anymore or are now worth less than a penny--but they're MONEY, who throws away money. No frugal me. Sigh.

I feel your pain. I still have mine too.

Hah! Guilty as charged.

Awwww! I still can't believe they closed :(
So nice to know I'm not the only one :)
Not the only one by a long shot.
A graphic reminder that we all hang on to things waaaaay too long.
