Good cheese is already so expensive.

I used to have a pair of steel toed Timberland boots that I really loved.

When it comes to shoes, it’s worth paying a hundred bucks or so to get good ones that will be comfortable and last for a long time. I know that’s not always feasible, but if you can, it’s worth it. It costs less in the long run.

“perceived” cover-up.

…jumping worms?
