Selling of America

Chevorlet is already making their pick up trucks in Mexico.  Ford is now moving operations to Mexico.  My dodge is no longer made in the US.  Now if you want a vehicle made in the US, you have to buy a foreign car such as Toyota, Honda and Mercades.  They may send the profits overseas, but they pay Americans to build the cars.  The only thing the big three do is send the profits back to the states.  That does not benefit anyone except the big shots in the company and the shareholders.  And they expect us to buy them.  Not me.  I will drive a Toyota or Honda before I will buy one from the so called big three.  They can kiss my grits.  I buy everything I can made in the USA.  If it is made here, I will buy it.  I don't care if it is higher priced.  I will buy it.  Because it gives jobs to citizens.  And we need those jobs.

Clark shoes

I just bought a pair of Clark Bendables.  They are beautiful shoes.  I bought my size, 7.5M, and they are a full size too small.  They are made in China, cost close to $100, and they are trash.  Moving the manufacturing base overseas has done nothing for quality nor has it done anything for the economy.  All the cheap crap, and I mean cheap only in the materials and finished product, is shipped over here and dumped on the American people and we like the fools we are, just suck it up.  I am buying American made and I don't care if those shoes cost me $200 or more.  I will pay it.
There a whole slew of shoe and boot makers in the US.  Just google American Made Shoes.  And I will buy from them.  Will it be cost effective?  No.  Will my feet thank me.  Hell yes!  Will it be worth it?  If I can help create a good job for only l citizen, then yes.

Savannah, Georgia

I went to Savannah, Georgia in the week between Christmas and New Years.  I loved it.  The historical district is absolutely beautiful.  The Savannah river flows right through town and I saw the most beautiful sailboat tied up there.  It had to be close to 100 feet long with sails of at least 80 feet.  it was drop dead gorgeous.  We went to a restaurant there and had fried oysters, gator bites and grilled shrimp with hush puppies.

We walked all over the historical district.  I saw the homes used in the movie Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.  It is positively the most beautiful city I have ever seen.  Even better than New Orleans.  I am definitely going back several times.  Can't wait till summer.  Two weeks at least.

cat food

I have tried almost every dry cat food for my cats and they throw up all  of it.  The Iams indoor was better than anything else I had tried.  However, I tried Purina Beyond.  No throwup and they actually like it.  I give that to them along with a couple of cans of Purina Friskies Indoor wet food.  They are doing great.  Remember all are over 15 as well.  Oh, and I keep the Purina Beyond in the fridge.  It has no preservatives and a lady who uses it told me she gets bugs before she uses up the bag.  So I buy the 3 pound bag and keep it in the fridge.  It is a little more expensive by buying in such small quantities, but so worth it in the tolerance by the cats.  Even Sally likes it.  Sally is my blind, 16 year old mama cat. 

Ditched Black and Decker

I officially ditched Black and Decker trimmer.  It was a wasted $64.  I bought a Toro and while I wish I had bought a little stronger motor, it does a great job and I can rewind the string without having to spend 8 bucks every time I need new string.  I can now buy bulk string instead of having to buy a new spool, prewound.  I will never buy anything by Black and Decker again.  I'm planning on getting a new mower and it will be a Honda.  Those motors go forever.

Black and Decker products

Black and Decker are the most useless pieces of junk.  Their new weed whacker is fixed so you have to use the pre-wound spools.  Even at that, they still spit out reems of string, whack off pieces that hit your legs, and you waste the last 3 feet of string.  Mine is going in the garbage today.  I am replacing it with a Earthwise ST00015.  Ratings are good.  We'll see.  I do know I will never buy a Black and Decker anything ever again.  

Black and Decker GH900 Weed trimmer

Don't waste your money on this junk.  If you don't purchase the pre-wound spools, they it will spit out the string and cut nothing.  Nothing except your legs that is.  It is worthless unless you have the bucks to always buy the pre wound and even with those, it still tangled terribly.  I am going to get a different brand this time.  Not sure what brand I will get but it won't be a Black and Decker.
