Just have a piece of chocolate and go quilt -- what will be, will be, and we'll survive -- but chocolate is one of the major food groups-- compare today's prices to those of the '50s and '60s -- oh, well

Goats are the best. If you want to own the most entertaining farm animal there is and have milk and cheese as a side benefit, get a goat.
Warning, if you have rose bushes anywhere on your property take a photo now of them if you do get a goat because that's the goats favorite food source. But, they cleared our property of poison-ivy and devoured our Christmas tree each year when it was "spent" as well as those of the neighbors. My yard was the unloading area for all neighbors used Christmas trees and my goats thought they had died and gone to heaven. I miss them so much.

China bought up every boll they could find. It appears that now all cotton is owned by China except that which is held by India. China weaves most of the greige goods that our fabric is printed on so guess who holds all the cards in the pricing war? We expect to be selling fabric for as much as $12.00/yard before the end of next year unless a miracle happens. Hopefully someone somewhere is doing something about this problem!"

I have to wonder if someone in production of some foods decided hey here is a way we can get more sales, press the old panic button.
Sure coffee has gone up, but not that much. If worse comes to worse, order Caffine pills online.
