Dam, I was hoping you were addressing the Buffalo Stampeders taking up valuable Villages residents lap swimming time at the Laurel Manor sports pool. Thought that was over with the new high school having their own pool : (

Dam, I was hoping you were addressing the Buffalo Stampeders taking up valuable Villages residents lap swimming time at the Laurel Manor sports pool. Thought that was over with the new high school having their own pool : (
Laurel Manor sports pool is purpose-built for lap swimming and meets but, because of its deep end, unsuitable for many other water sports.
With so many Villagers wanting to do lap swimming it would make perfect sense to dedicate this one sports pool to that and schedule other events in the myriad of other sports pools spread around the community.
I have suggested this several times to the powers-that-be but their answer is always along the lines that they tried this (probably fifteen years ago for two weeks) and it didn't work out.
The sports pools schedules have evolved piecemeal over time, resulting in the staff constantly having to take out and put in the lane lines. They really need to sit down and start with a clean sheet of paper and schedule all of the events logically - preferably asking for input ahead of time from those people who actually use these pools.
Anyway, about those eggs...

Correct
$2.41 ÷ 12 = 20 cents per egg
$9 ÷ 18 = 50 cents per egg

Easter just another holiday converted from Pagan rituals
Pagans lived their lives in strong accordance with nature's rhythms and patterns, and solstices and equinoxes were considered to be sacred times.
In 325AD the first major church council, the Council of Nicaea, determined that Easter should fall on the Sunday following the first full moon after the spring equinox.

and
Easter is a corruption of Oestre (various spellings) who is the goddess of fertility and takes the form of a hare, which itself was corrupted into the Easter Bunny

Good to see eggflation subsiding in Florida. Unfortunately, in my twisted home state of Massachusetts there is a law that requires all eggs sold in the state to come from chickens with crate and cage free housing. Eggflation is permanent in the commonwealth. Fortunately for us our neighbor has chickens, so when we are up north we get all the fresh eggs we can eat for free.

Correct
$2.41 ÷ 12 = 20 cents per egg
$9 ÷ 18 = 50 cents per egg
Small, medium, large, extra large or jumbo??? Jumbos can be 2x the size of smalls hence the price differences.

I don’t usually shop groceries at Walmart but since I was there… a gallon of milk was half the price of Publix. I was hesitant to try the milk but it’s good. So either Walmart is using milk as loss leader, or Publix is simply gauging the public.

If one is a Christian.
The pagan information was interesting to others who, I suspect, are equally intelligent.

Maybe fiddy cent can be saved by driving to Costco 4 dem Eggs. :1rotfl:
We belonged to Sam's, BJ'S & Costco in New Jerkey. I preferred Sam's then. Well, times have changed. Momma says since we live close to The Noisey Smelly Terrible Turnpike we gonna use it and quit the first two places and join Costco. I just lowered my head and said yes dear and liked the good guy I try to be, I hear and I obey! When I say I'd do anything for Love but I won't do that I didn't mean not joining Costco. I meant not buying an Electric Golf Cart and I think that may be happening too.
I only want to win the big things I can let stuff like this go I hope! She's an Angel Walking The Face Of The Earth and I'm NOT so I guess mark me down as whipped or lucky or both! :ohdear:

Considering 1960 dollars if that was the year a $1 in those years now it requires $10.00 or a 900.71% increase. The $.02 would be $.18 today. The average annual salary for a male in 1960 was $5,400 a women was $1,900 annually.
Doesnt seem much today, your mother was being frugal milk in 1960 was $.36. Hope you enjoyed your cereal because of your mother.
