I won't either Calvin and it must work. A lot of places that used to have no gun signs have taken them down.

I don't pay those signs no mind. Here in Florida the don't hold no water. If a shop keeper asks you to leave, you refuse and he calls the police. They must ask you to leave. Then if you refuse they will arrest you for trespassing. If you leave, it's over. Being concealed I've never been told to leave. Should it happen I will tell them they have lost my business and leave. If I were able to O/C I would need to change the places I spend my money too.

Garden hose, born in the USA!
Bought a new "Flexon" hose at Lowe's testerday. Born in the USA with a lifetime guarantee. Had to return a 2 year old 7 year guaranteed one that our insane water pressure blew out. Thought about another 7 year one....66+7=73. OK, I'm shooting for more than that!

One important thing that I have found. If you buy something from the Internet, that was made in a foreign country, and anything goes wrong with it, forget about any recourse. If it is made in America, you can usually get it fixed, or get new parts. That means a lot on larger, expensive items. Lately I have buying some things that have, in store replacement guarantees. Sears have several. It's sure nice to be able to take it back, and get another one right then, especially if its something you use a lot.

Calvin, I got Franne's Christmas present, the new weed whacker at Sears. It's a 19.2 volt battery one and I had my doubts about it being any good. To my susprise it's very powerful and uses the same battery as my power tools and the lith ion ones last about a half hour. That's longer than the back lasts. It only weighs 5.3 lbs. Edges good too. Perfect for old farts and it was on sale for $95. I got it at Sears because they'll take dirty skivvies back, no questions asked. It is, sadly, made in China.

J_B, this thread doesn't get many visits because sadly, not much is made here.
I bought a new Americab flag the other day at Home Depot. It's a really nice flag, embroidered stars & individual stripes sewn together. Same as the one I replaced after a year & a half. Only one I have had last more than a year. They have a leather tab sewn inside the pole sleeve at the top to clip it to the pole swivel. Others have a fabric tab that doesn't last. It's a Valley Forge Flag, born in the USA! |
