You buy cheap garbage and expect it to last ? You are buying things made by other countries and THEN come here and complain that Americans are losing their jobs ? You, dear, are a hypocrite and then some !

First of all, WHY are you buy nonstick pans ? Anyone who is a good cook / baker ( and yes, I am ! ) , knows that you get superior results from NONCOATED pans, which are " seasoned " by repeated use. Learn how to cook and buy something more expensive; it'll last longer.

Your sheets fall apart ? What are YOU buying ? My daughter has bought some bedding from Bed Bath and Beyond and it's still perfect... after 5 years of constant washings / being sent to the laundry. Want something that will REALLY last ? Cough up the money ( yes, they ARE expensive ) for Irish linen sheets. They'll outlast you and your chjildren and their children. Too expensive ? Okay, then buy some Wamsutta ( yes dear, an AMERICAN company )sheets, that are at least 250 count and 100% cotten percale. They need to be washed and starched and ironed; however, they'll last at least 10 years.

Your phones break after SIX months ? WHAT ARE YOU BUYING ? And here I was complaining, that our phones break after three years, or so. LOL

I'm buying from the small selection that the few stores here sell. A relative sent me the BB&B sheets which fell apart. When I buy sheets, I buy American high-count 100% cotton. BTW, a friend and her husband bought a brand new high end washer and dryer from Sears (Kenmore) this past April, and a few weeks ago the $800 dryer burned up and almost caught their whole house on fire. They called Sears and told them what happened, and Sears would do nothing because the warrenty was only for 3 months. Kenmore appliances used to last years and years.

Others are having problems with phones as well. And I am one of those who tries to buy American whenever possible. There are some items, such as clothes, where Made in America (and not the Marianna Islands kind of "Made in America") is almost impossible to find anymore.
