How can you NOT love the dollar store?
On my trip there today I acquired both a children's wind chime kit featuring such enlightening and helpful instructions as:
"Thread one metal disc to the middle of the longest thread tightly and make it can hang the rods," and "Thread four pieces of thread, which are in same length."

AND
I got some glitter markers, branded "Happy Virus," which also have printed on their barrels, "We are best friend!" and "A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature."

6. I'll make a run tomorrow.
You don't have to pay me! The dollar store is (unfathomably) going out of buisness, and everything is 30 percent off. I paid 70 cents for a pack of those glitter things. I'll see if there are any left!

4. The place looks too much like
the trash can where I throw away all the junk I never use during spring cleaning.

Never thought of using it for reading material, though. You've got me thinking of it in a whole new way, now! :rofl: I may well reckoned it to be a masterpiece of farce, now!

5. Uh, let me guess - not made in a country whose primary language is English?
:rofl:

The latter one sounds prophetic. The first two, however, merely sound pathetic.
