Lady Florida. Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Amazon.com is down. I can't tell you how many times a day I go to their website. Sometimes it's to price an item, sometimes to manage my Kindle. This is a major first world problem. I don't know if I can handle it. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandelion Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I just looked up and the sky is falling as well. If this is the end, at least I'm going out doing something I love. Posting on this forum. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plansrme Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 News like this should not be delivered on a forum like this. Someone should have called, maybe knocked on my door. Broken it to me gently. Geez, people. Have some compassion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arcadia Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Amazon is working for me. Maybe a regional problem?

Caroline Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 In celebration of its return, I just bought more baby presents for my niece who is due to arrive in January. It has only been in the last month or so that I have bought non-books on Amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caroline Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Welcome to the dark side. I had no idea what was out there. Now I am really going to have to delete that app before I get in trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Florida. Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 It has only been in the last month or so that I have bought non-books on Amazon. Welcome to the dark side. I had no idea what was out there. Now I am really going to have to delete that app before I get in trouble. Once I started looking for non-book stuff I was amazed at what's there. I recently bought a vacuum cleaner from Amazon. Ds just bought memory for his computer, and a gaming headset. He did his research, had specific requirements, and found that Ammy had the best prices. I almost have dh trained to check there first too. We don't have many brick and mortar choices in our city (Walmart and Target are pretty much it), so we use Amazon a lot.

Guest Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Amazonus Interuptus. I've heard of that. I've never come down with it myself (yet). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Um_2_4 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Did it have anything to do with the link they had on the front page right before it went down? It was about funniest product reviews on their site.... I was in tears. Then I went back and boom...site is down! I was busy with the kids so didn't have too much time to think about it. Otherwise I might have panicked.... :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunnyDays Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Wow... I'm glad I missed that. I would have thought it to be a sure sign of the apocalypse. Okay, I just went and looked... It's still there. Whew! The fact that we now have to check means those rose colored glasses are gone. Hmm.... Wonder if I can order another pair.... :leaving: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
