Please don&#8217;t forget to use my Amazon Native Ads (which now appear below most, though not all, blog posts) for your online shopping during the month of November. All purchases made through the ads this month earn an extra-extra large commission &#8212; and that seems to apply not only to the listed items, but items found via the search box at the bottom of each ad.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t see the ads? Then go ahead and use my regular <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/?tag=livifree07-20\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon links<\/a>. Otherwise, this month those ads are your friend &#8212; and mine.<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\namzn_assoc_placement = \"adunit0\";\namzn_assoc_search_bar = \"true\";\namzn_assoc_tracking_id = \"livifree07-20\";\namzn_assoc_ad_mode = \"manual\";\namzn_assoc_ad_type = \"smart\";\namzn_assoc_marketplace = \"amazon\";\namzn_assoc_region = \"US\";\namzn_assoc_title = \"My Amazon picks in warm stuff for winter\";\namzn_assoc_linkid = \"0411920a4c9c4b3434d40561423ccbd2\";\namzn_assoc_asins = \"B019IXJ9SS,B01IU86URK,B00D6BQG1W,B018HMN1XU,B009Z3TI3S,B00OTY624G,B002G51BZU,B007PERZXE\";\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script src=\"\/\/z-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/onejs?MarketPlace=US\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<ul>\n<li>That <a href=\"http:\/\/komonews.com\/news\/local\/king-county-using-grocery-store-data-to-target-pet-owners\" target=\"_blank\">store loyalty cards are disloyal<\/a> to your privacy and your freedom.\n<li>That, if you must have such cards, you should get them under a fake name and address.\n<li>That, if you must have such cards, you should cheerfully and frequently trade them with friends who live in other parts of the country.\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.clairewolfe.com\/blog\/2016\/11\/05\/and-let-this-be-a-small-reminder\/\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">And let this be a small reminder &#8230;<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20,21,28],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-27995","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-money","category-monkeywrenching","category-privacy-and-self-ownership","ratio-natural","entry"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.clairewolfe.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27995","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.clairewolfe.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.clairewolfe.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.clairewolfe.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.clairewolfe.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27995"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/www.clairewolfe.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27995\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28004,"href":"https:\/\/www.clairewolfe.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27995\/revisions\/28004"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.clairewolfe.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27995"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.clairewolfe.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27995"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.clairewolfe.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27995"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
