Amazon's Wish Lists ate my baby

Okay, not really. But I went to look through my lists today for something to bring the total up to the $25 threshold in order to get free shipping (very important for Alaskans!), and on one of my lists, I found this as the second item:



There are no links or pictures in the entry to show me what it was. No breadcrumbs of any kind. WHAT WAS IT? I have no idea.

I was interested in buying it at some point, and I trusted Amazon to keep that knowledge for me. Now, I don't want to add anything to the lists without tracking them somewhere else for fear of losing them. Which is exactly not the point.

I'm going to try to contact Amazon support/service, but I'm just not feeling optimistic on this one.

UPDATE: Bryan suggested that I look at the HTML source - and sure enough, the table header had this string in it:

tbody name="item.0.I1N2UK0PDLSG38.B00024WN3G"

The first part beginning with I1 yielded no results, but the second part is an Amazon product ID, which yielded plenty of Google results - it's the Wonder Cup Adjustable Measuring Cup!

You saved the day, Bryan!

Why I Don't Shop at Schuck's

Schucks seems to have some long-term contract with my local newspaper to wrap an ad around the comics. Every single Sunday, before I can get my daily dose of Dilbert, I have to put down my spoon and remove it. It's the analog equivalent of a pop-up ad.


Do not get between me and my comics. Those mad mama moose got nothin' on me.

Update 2007-09-23: If you can't see the image, it's because my innate foresight has enabled me to select a filename that raises the hackles of most ad blockers, because it has the (quite descriptive) string "-ad-" in it. Since I haven't the faintest idea how to change an image's filename yet, please temporarily turn off your ad blocker to see it until I grow some clue.
