    How ridiculous are we to become? ... and what do we really need?

    I have been studying website design and composition and in my quest I have discovered that there is a lot of seriously strange items out there in 'buy me land' that the mere human is expected  to like and desire.


    I can list ten things that I would never buy.... can you?


     


    Here is my top 10...


    #1-  Creepy over coloured, fake fabric, neon coloured shorts.


    #2- Number one again, just because they are just far too ugly.


    #3-  OK... number one once again.... what are people thinking?


    #4-  Hermes?  .... Seriously?  Look at the website.  No one can possibly take that little skate board seriously.  ...


    #5- Cyprus real estate.  Give me a break.  How many SPAs (And, you must write it that way) do people really need, not to mention rock grottos or swimming pools.  Does furniture have to look like no one EVER sits on it?


    #6- I am not quite sure and I may be getting old... this sort of thing happens as a Homosapien moves forward... why are we taking the Kardashians so seriously?  What makes what happens in California sooooo important? ... I am out of the loop and just a mere consumer however, I am not 'getting the plot'.  And quite frankly, this family has really bad taste in shoes.   I am a shoe fan.  I love shoes.  That family wears stupid shoes.


    Actually, I don't care for the plastic surgery or the clothes they choose to wear.  ...  the next thing that I don't care for....


    What is plastic surgery for?  Why are we not happy with what we were given on the outside?  How did we become so lost?  < That is number 7 and thank you Terry Fossil for the Arrow idea.


    #8-  I am really ticked off that groceries are costing so much money... and gas.  I have to eat and move around.  Fundamental properties of life as a human being.  I have begun to think that people living in places like Lake Como have decided to rake the little guy blind and grassless.  ... Seriously, bad taste and killing the hand that feeds you... idiotic move seriously wealthy people!!!  ... "Who made you that way?"  ... "The consumer!"


    #9-  I don't like black plastic covered appliances.  This may be small and trivial but as appliances are made to only last for five to seven years a lot of these very large and not so pretty things seem to end up in driveways or standing alone, very sad on sidewalks waiting for someone, anyone to take them to the promised land of dead appliances.  These appliances should never have been made in black... They just don't look good on any level.  Not in the house and not outside of the house.  Sad and terribly true.


    #10- (This list could be so off the charts long, ... David Letterman set the bar.. sad to say.  My sister had a very strange crush on the man that I never did understand.  Bad taste in men was her thing.  ... It lasted her entire lifetime.)   >>> Here is my new thing that I really don't care for... thanks again Terry for the Arrows.


    What is it with this see trough plastic furniture?  I love the word transparent.  I can not and will not use it for idiotic ... "I am sitting but not sitting" clear furniture that speaks in no way what so ever.  I can't get over the less than pink Barbie furniture of the entire subject.  ... Actually if these pieces were pink, that would be more interesting.  If the designers were to place Hello Kitty and Iron Man stickers on these chairs, they would actually be more applicable to real life.

    Why is this chair better than this?...


    Image result for plastic chair imagesThe clear one costs a lot of money... the white one is about $13.00 Canadian at Canadian Tire.  They are both ugly but, you can plant your butt in them.

    Hey ho there........... did you know a polar bears fur is actually transparent?
    Beautiful creatures that they are.
    FISH-O

    I did know that and Polar Bears are spectacular creatures. OK OK... I get the transparent chairs... sort of.
    FISH-O

    Oh, and when you actually show up to spend time on my not so transparent deck to sit on transparent chairs do not wear bright yellow, pink or green nylon shorts. .. I have to draw the line somewhere.

    The only frivolous thing I own is my Roomba. And if you’ve ever owned one, you'd be sure to replace it if something were to happen to it…………..

    I own a Roomba and it is fantastically useful.

    My dogs ignore ... There is no food involved therefore, they just don't care.

    That was hilarious, Jh. Thx for putting it on there. :-)

    Okay Fish, I'm coming for a visit and I promise not to wear shorts.


    Would these be appropriate? Which color should I choose?


    ""


    I could bring a pair for you too, if you like.    :)

    FISH-O

    They are better than the weird shorts. I am sure the shorts can be viewed from the moon....
    You have not touched upon the appliances. A plastic covered black refrigerator? ... That is not pleasing.

    My refrigerator is very simple....white.
    FISH-O

    Mine as well. The door is broken... Sears, under warranty. Total waste of money. Sears would like more money for a new warranty (Before the warranty runs out and after the door will 'never be replaced' according to them), and I would like a new door. Logically, purchase the fridge, buy the warranty and actually expect it to 'all be good'. No, not the case.

    Thank goodness the fridge is not black... if it were it would look very bad on the street waiting for it's funeral.

    Darned stupid waste of hard earned money. .... Augh!

    Many years ago, I purchased a fridge, stove, washer and dryer, all from Sears. The fridge needed a minor repair and they arrived, the very next day. Other than that, no problems. I have heard some horror stories though....lawn mowers, stoves and a snow blower than never did work properly. I guess I was lucky.

    You, my dear and very beautiful Duck.... are very lucky.

    How old is too old for a women to wear tight, skinny , pants like that ?
    FISH-O

    Not sure M-Cat. I have been observing some pretty strange clothing choices by older women lately.

    fish-o i know how you feel regarding so many products on the market. Way too many products. however, that is what is pushed by capitalism. sell, sell, sell. buy, buy, buy. look at stock markets. how much stock went up and down. the more a company sells their products the more people are happy and more people get work. i once did not understand this concept until a banker told me they love people that bounce checks because they make money on bank fees. i did not understand that when you spend money on stupid things or things you may need, you and i are actually keeping society moving forward in a good way. so now when i buy things i realize i'm keeping some people in a job and keeping crime down . . . a little.

    FISH-O

    Now, that you have brought the crime thing up.... Seriously? They have the money and what are they thinking?

    Oh my goodness ... already.

    Stupidity may be attached to copious amounts of money. ... And, then bad taste.
