It irritates me too that things break so easily. At our last home we bought a brand new refrigerator and it broke twice in the first year and finally we had to buy another one and the first one wasn't cheap either.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-90828664207376492002011-10-28T09:27:53.732-04:002011-10-28T09:27:53.732-04:00Hi Linda-

I wish more people thought about these things, but honestly, I don't think they do. We live in such a consumer community!

I will say what irritates me is that things I do buy often break quickly, whereas they used to last...beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02070619577137197512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-53979121900350412402011-10-28T00:39:42.399-04:002011-10-28T00:39:42.399-04:00Hi Teresa, thanks, we have been thinking along tho...Hi Teresa, thanks, we have been thinking along those lines of getting an old beater for quite some time, and the term old beater says a lot I think, something you can beat up and it still keeps running.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-78421147097082304582011-10-28T00:38:32.479-04:002011-10-28T00:38:32.479-04:00Hi Jane and Lance, thanks, don't you just know...Hi Jane and Lance, thanks, don't you just know that those items were made to last unlike the items nowadays.<br /><br />Hi Patti, thanks, this computer has windows xp and it's doing fine so far, but is a bit slow.<br /><br />Hi Lori, thanks, it really is an eye opener isn't it.<br /><br />Hi Michele, thanks, well there are some things we do need to replace and many we have to replace just because of this scenario so what can we do, a little at a time I guess.<br /><br />Hi Turquoisemoon, thanks, it was very well put together I thought and brings a lot to light.<br /><br />Hi Cindy, thanks, I know all too well how much stuff one can collect having moved so many times and still have too much.

So, when it did one time, I just went under the hood, adjusted it and away I went again. Those simple engines and parts were all we needed.
