Black Friday is over and many people went crazy trying to buy that over priced sales item which they thought was a bargain. Some even went so nuts that they killed a man trying to protect a pregnant woman. What kind of world are we living in?
After Black Friday comes Cyber Monday. Here is where you can buy things on line that have been over priced and then reduced to make you think that you are getting a good deal. If you don't have enough sense to stay out of the foolish crowd then I can't help you.
Some times the little things in life bug me. For instance, I opened a new bar of Dial soap. I noticed something strange about it that I have not seen before. I began to think about all of the bars of dial soap that I have opened before. Years ago the bar was rounded up on each side to form a nice large convex bar. Then I remembered a few years later when I opened a bar of Dial soap it was no longer convex but it was flat. To my surprise the bar I opened today was concave on both sides but it was made to look as though it was not as small as it really is. On one side it was concave length wise, on the other side it was concave width wise. The question is why? The obvious answer is duh... to cheat me out of soap and hope that I would not notice. Then they have the brass to increase the price because it is a new and improved design. I think I need to find a new brand of soap.
Maybe later I will write other things that bug me but now I need to go.

So this is where we end up, uh? Fixating on bars of soap? What do you think, maybe you were ripped off two or three washings per bar?
That could be up to 600 baths a year.I hate to tell you this, but toilet paper isn't as big as it used to be. (and neither is the Sears catalog)
Hey Pop glad to see you blogging.
I don't use Dial I'm a Zest man.
I can't believe my dad knows how to use the word "duh"....
