@Rusty, and it started as the Five and Dime store, meaning nickel and dime.

excerpt from book (The Collected Regrets of Clover) I am reading: 'If you want something you don't have,' he'd said 'you have to do something you've never done' I have always heard it the opposite way (If You Always Do What You've Always Done, You'll Always Get What You've Always Got), and the above is far more inspiring.

along with some other groceries, I needed to bring home a new pack of 20 soaker underwear that I require to operate. The lady who picked me up went out of her way, as do many when I have a load of groceries, to bring me home. As buying, maintaining and operating a car is quite expensive and I have not had it, being without one for almost three years, I've not had that expense but have depended on kind people sharing theirs with me, so I'd like to pass some of it along to her, she refused it. Quite a number do, but accept when I suggest that they give it to a charity. Some say that I should give it to a charity, and when I say that I give quite a lot to charities now, enough to bring my income tax down to quite low, they accept my offer. Many don't - just want to be helpful to an old guy in need. ole joyful
