Whimsical Wednesday # 251
Welcome back to Whimsical Wednesday!
The day for your googled giggle that gets you over the hump that is Wednesday and sliding down into the weekend.
"Because making it look good now is more important than providing adequate support later."

Isn't that the truth?
ReplyDeleteS.J.Qualls; yes it is, but it shouldn't be.
DeleteOHHH but for one glorious moment, you can have it all! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Elf Christine; true, but I'd like things to last a bit longer. Okay, a LOT longer.
DeleteSadly true.
ReplyDeleteAndrew; 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.
DeleteHi River,
ReplyDeleteTotally true!
:o)
Cheers
PM
Plasman; yes it is, but it shouldn't be that way.
DeleteDEFINITELY true.
ReplyDeleteElephant's Child; especially if you're a politician thinking he can fool the masses, who are often desperate enough to believe.
DeleteA perfect description of many of today's products!!
ReplyDeletefishducky; sad but true, nothing much is made to last anymore. Even real houses (castles) aren't made as solidly as they once were.
DeleteSounds like all bras I try to wear.
ReplyDeleteJoanne; that's true. I had so many over the years that looked good only for the first couple of months.
Delete.. I like things in my life to be more on the solid and lasting side and less airy fairy.... although a few daydreams are nice.. xxxxxx ..Barb xxxx
ReplyDeleteBarbara; daydreams are the only things that don't require a solid and lasting foundation.
ReplyDeleteLooking some way at times might not see the entire picture.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on
peppylady (Dora); sometimes the big picture is too hard to see.
DeleteTrue in some cases, not in all.
ReplyDeleteLee; of course not all, but in too many cases I think, people build on pipe dreams, chasing castles in the air.
DeleteWhat is the truth ; but a lie in disguise..
ReplyDeleteWho is doing Words today?
Words today are by Carolyn McBride, you'll find her at
Deletehttps://dragonquillca.wordpress.com
So very true.
ReplyDeleteThoughts in Progress
and MC Book Tours
Mason Canyon; very true of many politicians promises.
DeleteReally!!
ReplyDeleteIt's true though.
Margaret-whiteangel; true of so many things these days.
DeleteThere'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.
ReplyDeleteSusan; 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.
DeleteSo very true. Instant gratification seems far more important than long term quality.
ReplyDeleteCheryl; 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.
DeleteIt 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.
I have posted my story on my blog. the person you mentioned did not have comments available when I called. will not go back, am too too busy.
