Orchid, I don't buy clothes online either. I pretty much stick to books and stuff for the kids. They order clothes, shoes, cameras, Ipods, sporting equipment, just about anything online. I buy a few hings but don't want to get hooked because it's so easy to spend money sitting behind a computer.

I have no problem putting my credit card number out there. I always check my bills to make certain that everything on there was charged by us and is the exact amount. I'm anal about that.

My son had two charges on his credit card that were not his. Beleive it or not, the bank called him about them before he even got the bill. They thought they were out of the ordinary purchases for him. Isn't that wild? They closed his account and gave him a new number. I thought it was pretty neat that people are watching in some way or another.

Kathy, I know about the affiliate programs. I once had a boomer shopping mall on this site but it really didn't do much of anything so I removed it.
