Here is a list of things that people seem to put absolutely no effort into making anymore. . .
1. Roads. Why is it that you can go to Israel and walk/drive on roads that were built during the height of the Roman empire (over 1000 years ago) and they are still good. But, we have to reconstruct our roads every summer?? 2. Vacuums. My vacuum doesn't suck and therefore IT SUCKS! It worked for about 9 months before it decided not to work at all. I made sure I bought one with a "hard floor" setting because I have maple floors down stairs. I tried vacuuming up some cheerios on it once and realized that the "hard floor" setting was somebody's idea of a joke. The cheerios were sucked in, pulverized and shot back out with extreme force. Crumbs were sent flying into every corner of my house. Now I just use my supposed "vacuume" on my area rug. But I have to sweep after I "vacuum" because there is always mess of things the "vacuum" rejected all around the rug when I am done. I should just go to the Salvation army and buy one of those ancient150 pound ones. I may have to install a pully system to get it up and down the stairs but at least it would clean the floor!3. Furniture. Do I really have to say anything more than Press Board? Your options are - buy a $150 press board bookshelf that you can never take down or it won't go back together again... or spend $2000 on an amish bookshelf that will extend your life and the life of your grandkids but who has that kind of money? 4. Food. What is a twinkie anyway? They look like grease sponges. Anybody see Julie and Julia? Those people put so much into what they made. It took some effort but it was GOOOOD and they actually knew what they were eating. This is one of the reasons I like to make my own bread. I have no idea what Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate is and I am really not so sure I want to eat it...
anyone else??
