    1. Happy Elf Christine; true, but I'd like things to last a bit longer. Okay, a LOT longer.

    1. Andrew; sadly is the right word. I think too many these days focus on the castle in the air instead of what is or is not holding it up.

    1. Elephant's Child; especially if you're a politician thinking he can fool the masses, who are often desperate enough to believe.

    1. fishducky; sad but true, nothing much is made to last anymore. Even real houses (castles) aren't made as solidly as they once were.

    1. Joanne; that's true. I had so many over the years that looked good only for the first couple of months.

    1. Lee; of course not all, but in too many cases I think, people build on pipe dreams, chasing castles in the air.

  15. There's way too much truth in that one to make it funny. Worse yet, today's products have a built-in obsolescence, with the understanding that it'll be less expensive for people to buy another new product than it'd be to repair the poorly-built product that stopped working right on schedule.

    1. Susan; even if things aren't poorly built it is often near impossible to find support in the case of computer programs, or repair places that actually carry the necessary parts to fix something worth saving.

  16. So very true. Instant gratification seems far more important than long term quality.

    1. Cheryl; instant gratification seems to be taking over the world, but really only works for something easily and quickly paid for, like hot chocolate or icecream.
      It might seem to work for bigger things, but when the sheen wears off and you are still paying off the credit card many years later, that's not such a good deal after all.
