There should be a Farmers Marketers Anonymous.
For people who are going to all the markets in their area for loaves of bread and other baked goods.

I have heard there are people like that.

This is the most dangerous time of the year for single people with Costco memberships who like pumpkin pie.

*So I have heard

Don't hate me, but I have never desired to sit around with an animal on my lap.

Blame my parents, perhaps.
But I can't think of anything they did to cause this.

Today, while selling some antique photos at a Flea Market, a woman tried to tell me that a man in a photo with his children was a Pedo.

It made me sad that people think like that of others just by looking at them.

More shaming of corporations like this, please.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you probably don't need to start your posts with "I don't know who needs to hear this."

Were consumer goods made more durable in my youth, or is that just my imagination?

An old person questions things.

Jim Carrey in Batman Forever makes it an extremely difficult movie to sit through.

Only when I took him apart for cleaning did I realize this man was born with a mustache defect.

I love old pictures.

And I settle for something I have at home.

I guess that's a good thing.

Frozen breakfast burritos have become my too lazy to decide what to eat meal.

I imagine a large percentage of Zacharias' day was spent just stroking his beard.

One of the demands of any striking union should be that the top executives can make no more than X times the lowest-paid worker.

I purchased some peanuts to befriend crows.
None appeared.

But I am now great friends with myself.
And a little heavier.

3 upcoming Amazon deliveries coming via UPS. The last time this happened was when COVID was on the upswing.

I think I'll have to stop licking doorknobs again.

There are many unusual hobbies for which I have no interest.

But I take it as a personal offense if you show no interest in my odd hobbies.

After today, I am convinced that some people go to flea markets only because the vendors are a captive audience.
They have no way to extract themselves from a conversation.

It is grueling for people like me with minimal conversation skills.
My pop-up shop may be closed until further notice.
