Yeah, I had to replace a pair of boots last year and the repairs to the sole would have cost about as much as a new pair. I only have the one cobbler around me though so maybe he's just jacked up his prices.

My local quoted me $75 per sole plus labor plus finishing service, and that was for a crappy pair of ariats. The mail-off places were higher than that

It cost me like £40 to resole a pair of really nice jump boots

$200 would include new insoles, laces, refinishing uppers, etc. Not needed for cheaper shoes.

Good boots are surprisingly repairable, I had the sole unattach in the front and simply used whatever Amazon was selling as 'shoe glue' to reattach, and it went fine. Smelled just like superglue.

When I was a kid you just didn't get lunch if you didn't bring it or have money (or a pre-arranged thing with the school you had to enter a number on a pad for), kids these days have it easy

I didn't want my friends to know I wore glasses in middle school, somehow managed to finesse it in the parking lot for a couple years before my parents found out and got incredibly pissed.

I often wonder if I'd be taller or built otherwise stronger had I not thrown my sandwich away nearly every day from my lunch.

I often wonder if I'd be less horribly tall and more of a small cute twink if I had not been fed sandwiches full of meat raised on growth hormone so :shrug:

Also if my ADD had been recognized when i was in elementary school and I got put on ADD meds then maybe my growth plates would have fused earlier and the appetite suppression would have made me not eat so much so I'd be smol and cute that way too. Oh and I might not have failed out of school later on but I mean, gotta focus on the more important things.
