    This bad boy. sometimes the plastic doesn't fully disintegrate, but that's only 1% of the time. However, it's a small price to pay.

    That's kind of cheating here.  But, okay.  I'll let it slide.

      You don't buy your dictionaries there, do you?  Get your money back!

     I found lots of bad things you've done recently.  Lucky for you that I do drugs and forgot what they were.  But they were bad and I'm sure you remember.

    Lol, you're right. I'm human and therefore fallible. I have never claimed otherwise, I make mistakes all the time.  I always graciously accept fault when someone catches an error of mine.

    I want an apology in the queue.   I, Randy, made an error.  Sharonna caught it. I, Randy, am at a total loss as to why this happened.  It is against all I hold acceptable, and yet, I Randy, screwed up and let the Marines down.  And my family. And VooDoo Donuts.

    Everyone.

    Why would I ever be happy?  That seems like a waste of time.  Just setting myself up for another fall.

      Did you know that as the author of the post, you can correct the typo at any time?  Just click on the button marked "Rename" and follow your nose.
    THEN ye shall be happy.

    I broke all those Coke glasses myself.

    But I do like the dollar stores.

    I have those same coke glasses my2cents!  Well, not yours but you know what I mean!!  I LOVE them!  They have lasted at least 6 years.  I think I've replaced 2 out of the 8 that I bought originally.  4 of the green bigger at the top than the bottom and 4 of the straight up and down type.  CoOL!!!

    I actually do go to the dollar store and buy not only coke glasses but eye glasses.  I swear, I have spent at least 50 bucks on all different styles and strengths for reading glasses. 
    If we loose them, leave them somewhere, step on them, or lend them to someone else, we don't worry about it. 
    It's been a GREAT way to save money on glasses.  They are in every room of our house and in our cars, and suitcases, and purses and shirts and so on. 
    It's a steal deal if you need reading glasses.
    :) :) 
    I almost forgot.  How long do they last?  As long as we don't loose, step, lend, or leave them anywhere, as long as our eyes need that strength :) :)

    I was out of town and bought a glass coffee mug at the dollar store to use in the hotel.  I took a little one-cup maker from home but forgot to take a mug.  That so many years ago and I still have that mug; it has moved all over the country with me and occasionally I make a cup of coffee in it.  

    Actually, I got two mugs for $1.

    A small alarm clock. The alarm doesn't work anymore, but it still keeps time, and the small light in it still works.
    I bought it at least 15 years ago.
