Price Difference From When I Was A Child (50 Years)

50 year price difference - from when I was a little kid to now. I honestly thought it would be worse, but here it is. Images created with Copilot.

I do remember being able to go to the store on Saturday with my $0.25 and get a coke and a bag of chips. I also remember being able to take the same $0.25 and go to the cinema and watch a double feature. Popcorn was $0.15 - I never got a drink, so I don't remember the price. I also don't recall the price of the bus.

There was these candies that at the time had a horrible racist name stamped on the package that where 2 for a penny. I remember  the store by the school having a tone of candy. They had a thing you could fill this little bag for $0.20 and it was a lot of candy for the price. You had to only choose from the one shelf however, the good stuff was not included.

The really big jump is meat I'm told, but I could not find prices. All I know is that it's $35 for a small roast beef now and a turkey can be $65. A steak can be up to $100 depending on what you get and that's insane.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

My New Cuisinox Moka Pot

Image
1. My friend Earth sent me the Moka pot I had in my Amazon Wishlist. I'm very grateful to have it, as the old one died (seal went) and I could not get parts to fix it. I'm very happy to have this. I was going to get one next month, but it would have been 2 weeks until I could get one and that long without a nice strong mug of coffee is a horrible fate to say the least. The French press makes coffee, but it's very much NOT strong and lacks the rich flavor that comes out of the Moka pot. 2. There she is, it's bigger than the old one but is supposed to make the same amount of coffee (9 espresso cups). 3. Here it is with the water in the base like you are supposed to do. It does indeed hold slightly more water than the old one does. 4. Nicely filled with Lavazza Rosa coffee (espresso). You don't want to over-fill it, just a bit from the top and don't pack it too tight. I wish I had one of those whisk tools for this task, they tend to make it slightly better, as it t

They Got Mad When I Used the Fun Money for Fun

Image
What can I say. They flipped completely out on my for getting a bottle of whiskey with the money they gifted me and having fun by drinking it. The thing is, they literally said it was for "Fun!" They went on in the comments of my vlog about not putting food on the table. Also said I had to have the booze on hand to drink it. Well what one do you think I did? You think I had it at home, or that I got it just that day? Make sense will ya. They also went on about "this is why I did not donate, I knew you would drink with it." And yet, you donated with the full knowledge that I probably would drink with the money, then you get pissed off that you where correct? How dumb is that? The only other time they "donated" was even less money (don't get me wrong, I'm grateful AF to get anything) they flipped out that I only said thank you in a message back to them, and not in a video for some reason. So I have to think in that case, they only send money to hear
