And When .. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Taa Daa .. “GULLIBLE SAYS” ..<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

I, your Captain, listens to Gullible..<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

“Gullible Says” .. “Cap, when you are stuck, just begin by taking a photo and commenting on it !”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

– – – – – – – –<\/span><\/p>\n

Step One “Take the photo !!”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Step Two “Comment on the photo ! “<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Good Friends and faithful followers, it seems to me that we as a society are being ..\u00a0 (the right word or words fail me !!).<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

It began with my left eye and my periodic injections into my left eye for my Wet Macular Degeneration.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

After an injection, fluid from the injection works it way out of my eye and accumulates into a very bothersome “residue” on the area outside of, and immediately below and around my left eye. My eye medical team suggested a Lid Cleanser to soften and remove this bothersome “residue”.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

On right in the above photo is what I used to get when I would buy a special cleanser (OCuSOFT Lid Scrub Original) for my eyes and eye lids.\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Get it? Got it? Good!!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

On the left side (another photo so you don’t have to look up again)..<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

.. is what I received in a recent re-order !!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Oh !! I am forgetting to tell you that the price was the same for the recent tiny container as it has been for the original very large container!!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Help me. It seems to me that we are being.. (you put in the adjective) by big business !!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

– – – – – – – –<\/span><\/p>\n

No !! The Eye Lid Scrub people are not alone !<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On the right above is what I have always been getting for Prune Juice at our Kroger Stores. A 64 oz (8 cup) bottle. I then pour the 64 oz bottle into eight, 8 oz, bottles for use at breakfast.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Not knowing what I was getting, the bottle (the new size of 48 oz (6 cups) on the left only filled six (not eight) 8 oz bottles. Only then did I realize what had happened.\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

– – – – – – – –<\/span><\/p>\n

Down in Bullhead City, Arizona, at Sam’s Club, we purchase our Kellogg’s Raisin Bran. The box is identical to what is has always been.\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But the two bags inside are now each noticeably smaller !!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Yes indeed the price has also risen as well. So more $$ for less cereal is a real price increase.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

– – – – – – – –<\/span><\/p>\n

Gullible ?? How’d I do ??<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Cap!! Go back to NATIONAL TODAY Holidays !!!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Gullible, for two days in a row there have been NO NATIONAL TODAY\u00a0 Holidays that we can even vaguely relate to!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Over and Out ..<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Thankfully, today, Sunday of a Holiday Weekend, we have NO medical appointments!!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
