Be careful buying grapes and other fresh fruits and vegetables. There could be poisonous insects in them. Spiders are quite common in a bunch of grapes. It is tempting to taste before you purchase, but you could get seriously ill.
During the Great Depression a Kansas Co. noticed that poor families were reusing feed sacks to sew dresses for women, girls and men’s shirts. In a gesture, the company began printing sacks with colorful patterns to make them more suitable for clothing. Later during World War II printed chicken feed sacks came back and was a God sent blessing. From a personal experience you would have to swap matching colors/prints with other chicken growers. Most everything produced was for government war efforts! What was available was rationed and only could be purchased by government printed stamps.
The older I get, the more I have in common a computer. We both start out with lots of memory and drive, become outdated, crash unexpectedly and eventually have to have new parts! When you become frustrated with older people because of what they cannot do, think how frustrated they must feel because they can no longer do it.
If someone treats you wrong remember that there is something wrong with them. Normal people don’t go around destroying other people! You cannot escape the difficult days, you can only learn to live through them.
A wise man said: Don’t seek revenge; The rotten fruit will fall by itself.

To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable in others, because Jesus Christ has forgiven the inexcusable in us. (C.S. Lewis)
Have a God blessed and share it with others!
