I am trying to picture myself putting boots on my guide dog. I never heard of it. It's supposed to protect their feet from chemicals used for ice treatment and ice. So picture a dog in rubber boots.

Ever notice that people say, "a penny for your thoughts" and "here's my two cents worth"? I'd say that means they think their opinion is twice as valuable as the other guy's!

No reference to anyone here, or any of the wisdom imparted in this thread, just an observation!

I rethought my words and decided that I should have said that's My Opinion which is worth even less.

In our Auction business, I sold self-serve coffee for a nickel, just drop it in the jar. Made a nice sign out on the sidewalk, and only cost me 8 cents a cup, cheap advertising. One day I counted the nickels at the end of the night and realized only half the people bothered to pay their nickel! Anywhere else in town a cup cost a dollar, but they didn't think it mattered to pay their nickel. So I raised the price to a quarter. Man, you should have heard the beratings I got from the honest ones that paid their nickel! The rest still stole it. So I let our concessions crew take over selling the coffee and collecting the 75 cents a cup! Then the ones who never paid screamed! Can't get a nickel cup of coffee anywhere that I know of any more!
