After reading these posts , the morning feels even brighter because I consider myself very blessed that I’m so comfortable in life at 82 that complaining about the prices of things in a dollar store going up .50 are not something I would ever think about ,and the old saying I’m sure works in a dollar store ,you get what you pay for

I had forgotten until now , there was always a guy at the end of every bar who always knew everything and always had the last word so you would learn to never bother with what he said , I’m remembering especially the guy at the end of the bar couldn’t understand sarcasm now that I have remembered I won’t bother anymore
