    Recently occurred to me that if I am able to instigate a local chocolate chip cookie baking contest, I may also be able to secure a place on the judging panel? :sherlock::dancer:

    These ideas often come to me but seldom do I act on them. I'm too busy right now trying to instigate a pot luck at work for absolutely no other reason than...crockpots!

    What a jip! Every 15 "of those" and there's a "free" one. I guess they gotta keep stock holders or CEOs paid somehow. Why care about the customer. Kinda sad one has to look at and study everything they're buying.

    This started way back in the 70's. I remember how disgusted it made me. It also made me feel cheap when selling products that did this.

    Remember when a half gallon of ice cream was a real half gallon. Like buying yogurt. The bottoms of the containers keep getting closer to the lid.

    It seems just about anything that is packaged has shrunk but the prices don't.

    Life was very much different 119 years ago.

    A half dugout house on the LS Ranch in the Texas Panhandle, 1907, carved into the earth for shelter against the cold winter wind and summer heat, reflects frontier ingenuity, where ranch families adapted to harsh conditions, building simple homes that blended into the land and symbolized endurance, survival, and early Western settlement life.
