You may soon feel the financial sting as soaring cotton costs work their way from the cotton fields, to the textile mill, to the apparel manufacturer, to the retailer, and finally to that new pair of pants or dress you’ve had your eye on...

Time to stock up on fabric at Joann’s.

As if I needed any more....

Don’t forget Q-tips!

Is that Pete Rose?

Oh, a wiseguy, eh?

“The WSJ just had a timely article about spinning dog hair into yarn and weaving cloth with it.”

In that case, I’ll be a millionaire!

I believe that polyester is made from oil.....

[ilovesarah2012]

Yes, I know. It was a joke.

It would be just like the Democrats to plant cotton in location that would not have enough growing season to produce a crop.

Come October the media is blaming the Republicans and the Democrats are asking for more money and government employees.

Not so good for those of us who are allergic to polyester. But, fortunately, I can find silk, cotton, linen, and wool clothing at Goodwill for $4-7 each, often with the original price tags still attached!

I love Goodwill! Always fun shopping there.

Thanks LucyT.

But this can’t be — everyone knows the soaring prices of everything are due to the ethanol subsidy and forced adoption of compact fluorescent bulbs.
