LOL!! Just don't ask me what I had for supper last night.
When I was in high school, jeans weren't allowed. Boys had to wear slacks and buttoned shirts...no t-shirts unless they wore them under the buttoned shirts. Girls had to wear skirts and blouses or dresses. No culottes or slacks. It was believed back then, and rightly so, that good first impressions were a must, especially when it came to job interviews. Every-so-often we had "dress-up" day. Boys got to wear suits and ties if they wanted, and girls could wear heels of a modest nature with a dress or skirt and blouse. Girls could only wear heels on "dress-up" day.

Food prices have surged by more than 20% under the Biden-Harris administration, leaving many voters eager to stretch their dollars further at the grocery store.
On Friday, Vice President Kamala Harris said she has a solution: a federal ban on price gouging across the food industry.
“My plan will include new penalties for opportunistic companies that exploit crises and break the rules,” Harris said at a campaign event.
There’s just one issue: Harris’ proposal could create more problems than the one it’s trying to solve, some economists say.
Gavin Roberts studied anti-price gouging laws some states passed during the pandemic. One of the biggest effects he observed, especially at grocery stores, was that these laws motivated people “to go buy goods more than they would if prices had risen.”
These people are delusional!
