Soapbox.

Whinoline will not be getting her Amazon wishlist fulfilled. (As if Izzy and I would ever agree to living on the balcony!) Plus, even if we were of a mind to spend, Bast knows we would opt to buy "that new iPhone." (We'd even talk Mom into donating her still-in-use 2004 cell to the House of Representatives.)
