   Wow! Not a bad thing, just never heard of it! I have been in supermarkets where there has been poop on the floor and I am pretty sure it wasn’t from an animal. Things sure have changed.

   I love reading your stories! Thanks for sharing.

   I agree, but then I think of all the infants/toddlers in them with their wet and possibly leaky diapers. Which is worse?! I now just chalk it up to making my immune system stronger.

   We have 5, all grown now. Stores were too far away to make 5 separate trips. Since they wore uniforms (and was able to pass most of them down) we only needed shoes and sneakers. A reminder of the stop for ice cream after we were done usually prevented too many issues. The worst was when one store was out of the size needed and we had to find another place. Now that it is long over, I miss those days!

   Woman here who agrees with you. Grew up with brothers and then had 3 sons of my own. To me, majority rules. I have been in the habit of checking seat since I was little. I have never understood why it was always the man’s responsibility for toilet etiquette. Now, wiping the rim off is a whole other issue!

   As a woman whose dad taught her all that in the early 70’s, I applaud you! Any one who drives ought to be able to basic car care but too many discount females.

   I also loved listening to their stories, in fact I still do. Now I am the one relatives come to in order to learn about family history because the older relatives are all gone. Wish I had asked more questions.

   I get what you are saying and I do agree that there are those who are gouging, but I do think a lot of the high costs of rentals have to do with the cost of insurance, the cost of repairs (hiring electricians, plumbers, etc. as well as replacing damaged or broken appliances), as well as other types of maintenance. Plus there are many who rent who do not take care of the apartments. I would not want to be a landlord!

   Mindboggling, isn’t it?!

    I am grateful that mine were able to move out right after college, but in some areas the rents are so high that it is not possible for a young adult just starting out to do that. Like Earl said in Pickles this morn, you never know what someone else is going through. Not all 30 year olds living at home are equal.
