I had a pair of Croc flipflops I've had for 3 years break on me. I'm weighing trying to fix them before buying a new pair.

I've had friends convince me I should replace the television I bought in 2007 with a newer model though this one works fine, pretty much.

Earth will be a flaming ball and I'll still be washing out first-use paper towels.

I think we're the REAL conservatives and not the merchandise worshipping morons goose-stepping to the beat of capitalism.
