    Sad but unfortunately this is what our World has come to. It gets exhausting to try to stay 1 step ahead. LOL Got to keep on keeping on though.

    There are people here stealing the metal pipes off church and business air conditioners and selling them for scrap metal. There's been several hit in our county lately. I'm always amazed at what people can dream up to do rather than get a job.

    I bought some of the sure jell that comes in a pouch for jams and Jelly. I got one of the boxes home and it didn't have the full amount in the box.
    Had to make another 20 mile trip to town.

    Quite a few years back I was in Walmart looking at hair stuff. This lady in the same aisle picked up a hair brush, tried it out on her hair and hung it back up on the rack. Ewwwwww.
