Did You Ever Wonder

Did you ever wonder why they price a single roll of wallpaper to you but it can only be bought in a double roll? I have. Did you ever wonder why a 12" board isn't 12" wide but 11 and 1/2 or 3/4. I wonder a lot of things when I get into a lumber yard. Really. Why don't they just call it what it is? Did you ever wonder why cheap fabric is always ugly? Why can't it be pretty and then they could sell it for more. These are just a few things that I wonder about and I was wondering if there are things that bother you like that. If you know of some, write and let me know. Maybe we could start a wondering list. God bless you, Diane

My pet peeve is the .98 or .99 at the end of the price. For heavens sake, just ROUND it up!

I was at "one day at a time" and decided to wander in your direction and I'm glad I did. We have a 17 year old bichon named Lucky. He is our furbaby and is by my side right now (as always) and i take photos of birds, bees, flowers, and make greeting cards in my tarnished years. (Hey, they are NOT golden)
