I think the access to Paris is definitely much easier than Florida...as you point out. The Anaheim correlation is a good one.
Planned obsolescence contributes in a big way. I can't think of any product on the market that is designed to last as long as possible anymore.
I’d guess:
FTFYGot some pretty dirty looks last night when my butler walked into the gas station to pick up milk wearing a face mask.
Just replaced a washer and dryer last month after 21 years of no problems. I’m guessing these new ones will give me 5-7 years if I’m lucky.
Exactly. And I bet they weren't inexpensive.
Wanted the most basic model. Don’t need them to make me food or talk to me through my phone. Still it was 1200 for both. Unreal.
My dishwasher has lasted 16 years so far.
You are correct went through the same thing. Sales person at Sears when I asked will I get 20 years like my last one --he confessed lucky you get 10
Hopefully the local bank tellers won't push their secret alert button when I walk up to them wearing a face mask...Got some pretty dirty looks last night when I walked into the gas station to pick up milk wearing a face mask.
That’s the word.
I went to our local Publix yesterday in Osceola county, Florida. Just about everyone had gloves on and about two thirds were wearing masks. Glad to see it’s being taken seriously in my area. Will be interesting to see if Disney allows cast members to wear gloves and masks. I don’t think anyone would have a problem with that. I suspect many guests will come prepared.Got some pretty dirty looks last night when I walked into the gas station to pick up milk wearing a face mask.

Glad people are wearing gloves and face masks hate to be negative but I think the average person doesn't know how to remove them so they don't spread contamination.
right? My fridge (Kenmore) is nearly 23 years old and will not quit! I want a new one so bad but can’t justify expense. The darn thing has been through 3 moves to different states too. And I think it’s haunted - ice machine randomly spits cubes out, or will only give ground ice for a while- almost always happens when I’ve been talking about how I want to replace it! HM likely only has 998 happy haunts...
Got my LG front loader wash and matching dryer 13 or 14 years ago and still works like new. The microwave that came with this (new at the time) house OTOH- am on the third in 10 years due to a recall on the first and manufacture defect on the second - hoping this one lasts for awhile- been 7 or 8 years now.
That goes for gloves as well. When i am waiting to get Mrs Ferret at the end of her shift it is mindboggling the number of people that exit her store with gloves on, then proceed to wear the same gloves as they , load the shopping , put on the seatbelt , start the car , chat on their mobile , then drive away both hands firmly on the wheel.
Mr Ferret I have seen the same thing it is scary how people have no concept of contamination control. I guess my background in microbiology and working with isotopes in research I'm overly careful and critical of others
My banks have closed their lobbies. If you need to transact business with a teller it is through the drive thru or ATM. Only persons with an appointment are allowed inside.
You could be right. I was very careful peeling the gloves off inside out. At least it did protect those around them in the store.
