Today we are announcing the start of a game. Specifically, the stock market game. I have recently been discussing this topic with some friends, while at the same time read a Facebook post about one of my cousins winning a stock market competition at his high school. Shout out to Matthew Kueter!

BIG ENOUGH FOR 2-TON TESSIE! --- The management of Pocahontas Dollar Store said they didn’t remember ordering the dress which is being displayed above, but when it arrived with a shipment of dresses they decided to place the garment on one of their dress racks and offer it for sale. The “frock” is a Size 60! Saleswomen in the store stated that it was certainly the largest dress they had ever seen, and talked two customers into posing with them behind the garment. The four agreed that they could probably all get into it at one time. They are from left, May Ona Carter (Size 18), Virginia Lemmons (Size 12), Mrs. Steve Steveson (Size 18), and Sally Cline (Size 14). Mrs. Steveson and Mrs. Cline happened to be shopping in the store and agreed to pose with the two salesladies. More like a tent than a dress, one look at the garment is enough to make even a slightly overweight woman start counting calories!

Fifty years…. fifty…the big 50.

It’s often said ‘Life’s an Adventure’. My life hasn’t lived up to an Indiana Jones saga, but I’ve had a few adventures. The quality of these occurrences probably depend on how you look at them.

It has been brought to my attention recently that some very interesting items have come under fire in the climate control debate. Everything from gas stoves to coffee have been mentioned as items that may need to be limited or given up completely. Depending on which news outlet is used, widely differing opinions are given. While it is true that humans have a responsibility to clean up after themselves and to take care of our planet, asking the average person to give up their coffee might be a step too far.
