Taxes went up on the house, power bill has a 31% rate increase, water/sewer combined saw a 17% increase. That is just what I encountered paying bill this month. Groceries of course we have the ever present shrinkflation. Tube of toothpaste is the same size, but contains mostly air now. So many more. Oh and since I make my own bread, I’ve not worried about that cost. Until now. A single 5 lb bag of bread flour (higher protein content) is over $10!
I have worked with my current employer for 37 years. 37 years ago we would go out and toss a football or frisbee at lunch. Now we all take naps at lunch.
Snakes are very polite! Folks just misunderstand them. Rattlers give there warning saying “Hey! I am here, back off! Leave me alone!” If that were not the case they would just strike out with no warning at all.
Coworkers and I used to thrive on watching forensic files. We decided the perfect way since they can hang a person on a single fiber….is to visit several fabric stores as well as carpet stores, then swing by a barber or two to get hair samples and spread those all over. You still might get caught, but it would sure make the forensics team work for it!
I can say growing old is hard, I’m 64 and getting there, along with the RA I’ve had since age 13. It seems to be rapidly progressing now. :( I can’t say anything about growing up…..I don’t think I am there yet!
