St. Louis sounds like a mess.
Not just St. Louis. It’s everywhere. Last Christmas we were taking boxes of food and loads of toys to the poor. The house was a squalid mess, everybody lying around in dirty PJs, etc. Open food bags and stuff everywhere. But there was the mammoth flat-screen TV, and everybody was positioned around it. I’d never seen anything so huge, and it nearly took up half the room. You can see where priorities are these days. It is not in working and providing for a family, cleaning house, laundry, making sensible meals, etc. Judging from the prices of such at SAM’s and Walmart, it must’ve cost over $2K. I still have a hard time with that!
