Roddy Dryer @RJamesDryer (46) • Groveland, Florida 7 Mar 17

Okay, so I'm an adult and I've grown used to various issues over time. I have come to accept (with significant resistance and pouting) that grown-ups don't get the entire summer off to do whatever they desire. In fact, now that...

Do you feel like you have to stay away from a certain section of the store, as it tests your self control and your ability to stay under a certain budget when you are going shopping. Granted, we are the one's who make the choices...
