Lairs, Lairs pants on fire

I try and purchase things locally if I can, by supporting local business. But of course it was all good to be true, when I purchased my bedding, [the bedding was something I've looking for since I got the bedroom suite from my late grandfolks, it was on sale and it was a the right size and shade of purple is just ME].

I was told in the store the company is local and everything was made here in Canada. It wasn’t until days later, when I using the packing the bedding came in for something else when I notice the fine print “Made in China”.

I was miffed . I hate having a sales clerks lie about product just so they can make a sale.  Don’t get me wrong, I would have still purchased the bedding if I wasn’t told it was made locally. Thought it would have been a bonus but I don’t think anything like that is made in North America anymore. hmmm.

Since this has happened, the first thing I look for is now the fine print. My friends think I’m nuts but I don’t like being fooled more then once by local companies.

For those of you who’ve worked in retail, have you had to tell a white lye just to make a sale?

Eco Friendly

Not sure about you, But I’m getting tired of seeing all the ad’s and shows about going green like this article. But yeah. If we knew we were killing the planet back in the 196o-7o’s why wasn’t it more force on the governments to make more reusable things back then instead 4o/5o years later. I think its by 2o12, that every company must be eco friendly..

I’m not a tree hugging, hippie, green lover, BUT I do try and cut down my waste, recycle what I can (errr what the city allows us to recycle) and return my pop cans/beer bottles to the bottle depot at least every two months as I get a bigger pay out. I wash most of my clothes in cold water, I purchase what I can thats been reused into something new. Half my closet has clothes that are made from bamboo. I have my own veggie garden, if I could grow pineapples and avocados in the west coast of Canada I’d be happy|rich lol. I try and use non perfume cleaners .. but for the most part simple vinger and water work wonders. I never water my grass, the rain does that for me.

WAIT! There is more to read… read on »
