8. Oh, man, China is hitting us hard in places you can't even imagine.

Although I've known that Facebook allows all kinds of knock-off adverts from China, I got caught again. I had a bad week where I figured that this year Halloween should be a quick and easy and I wouldn't spend the usual time I did with decorations. So I bought four items from four different adverts early in September. They quite literally were shipped on a slow boat from China, and when I received them, they were knock-offs of the worst kind. Instead of trashing them, I'm putting them up since they reflect the true horror we're living under.

And btw, not only did the Chinese mercs snatch my pocketbook by charging me a price that was well above the junk I received, but I also paid high shipping costs. Not proud of it. But, I have to admit that I enjoyed a good laugh at my expense. Quite literally.
