Household items

Have you ever wondered why you buy something new for the house weather it's a small item or a large one, after the guarantee runs out the item stops working and you have to buy a replacement. A long time ago when you bought something it worked for ages well passed the guarantee date but nowadays that's not the case, for instance over 20 years ago we bought a fan to keep us cool when it's summer and it's still working and about 2 weeks ago we bought a new kettle and it's stopped working, why? The main reason I think is the manufacturer doesn't make things like they used to so that they can make money quicker by you having to replace the item every time the guarantee runs out, a simple explanation but it seems to be true. Then you think to yourself I'll buy a quality item with a well known brand name, now that's surely going to be reliable, no, exactly the same, where have all the old manufacturers gone who made a household item to last, they've gone out of business because you never had to buy a replacement, what a shame. Somethings don't change for the better in this modern technologically world they just get worse with the ordinary people suffering financially because the household items keep breaking down and then they have to spend your well earned wages on something that is supposed to last,well until the guarantee runs out, it's a never ending circle buy, works, guarantee runs out, buy again. What do you think, has the same thing happened to you, I am quite sure it has.

Luck

Luck, do you believe in it, like finding a four leaf clover, a bird shiting on you, is that going to bring you luck or do you just make your own luck? Some people have so called luck by winning the lottery, winning on online gambling or winning on the stock market, are these all attributed to luck, good question but if you think about it everything that you bet on is controlled by a computer or little balls spinning around in a plastic globe, you win, is that really luck? How do you define what luck really is, I'm not sure but I think you make your own luck. For instance I made my own luck by going to a cafe and meeting my wife who worked there, I made my own luck during the war in Croatia by doing what I had been taught and stayed alive, my wife and I were lucky enough to have three children when there are other married people who can't have children, are those examples of luck or destiny? In a way you could say that it was my destiny to get married not just luck, which is it ...

T+L

Well at long last it seems that there may be a break in our heatwave, last night after the temperature hitting a huge 40 degrees it started to thunder and lightning but did the heavens open for rain to fall, no only a few spots, I could probably drink more water than fell from the sky, at least it's a little cooler 19 and set to rise to a reasonable 35 degrees which is a bit more bearable. It's Sunday the end of the weekend and again it seems that my wife and I will be on our own, my youngest daughter and her fiance are going here and there to visit his family and I'm not sure if my eldest daughter will be here so it's going to be a weird Sunday but peaceful. It's going well for Ukraine from looking at all the media as Ukraine is still taking over more of russia and blowing up bridges so the idiot can't resupply his troops and he is also bombing his own country with missiles, what a shame the ordinary people who so called voted for the puppet master are having t...

Terrible

Isn't it just terrible to see once again ordinary people being targeted by bombs and mortars and being once again driven from their homes. The orders obviously coming from the top which of course means non other than the war monger himself, Putin and the Ukrainians can't do a thing to stop it except helping with the evacuation of the elderly and sick from the border towns with Russia. It is a familiar site for me after witnessing it myself here in Croatia in 1991, so I know how those people feel being driven from their homes and normal lives not knowing wheater they will return or not by a superior force intent on carrying out their orders by a lunatic dictator. Here in Croatia after so many years people are back in their homes, rebuilt and the villages, towns and cities are back to normal, Croatia has come back from the brink of destruction to become a stronger and better country, all because of the heart and will of the people. There is a huge question mark over wheater the U...
