What the heck are "sundries"

When I was a kid I noticed that some stores, particularly "5 and 10" stores, advertised outside, among the other things they sold (Newspapers Magazines Umbrellas Bait etc) - it also said SUNDRIES. Naturally, I thought it meant items that were dried in the sun. Later, for some reason I thought it meant they sold condoms, and ladies end-of-the-month stuff, whatever items were not to be enumerated on a sign outside.

Just looked it up, dictionary.com says sundries are

"Articles too small or numerous to be specified; miscellaneous items."

So I reckon our website TheRestlessMouse.com does *not* sell sundries, in fact you cannot buy sundries at retail on the Internet; By the nature of posting it for sale, it is obviously not "too small or numerous to be specified", we have to specify to post it for sale. Any questions?

Walmart really grinds my gears

Teresa just did her weekly Walmart trip, I know that it's the holidays, there is a ham there that was pushing $30. And Tide detergent, everything else was just low key expensive. I get it, tarrifs, rising cost of labor, insurance, yada yada yada. The total was about $225 - I have bought cars for less than than! Not very good cars, I'm just saying. What really grinds my gears though was the blatant lie at the very bottom of the reciept; Low prices You Can Trust. Every Day. A better tagline might be We know, everything is expensive, it's not just us. Maybe put the oreos back? To which I might reply: I got your creme filling right here, Buddy.
