Things I Will Never Understand

This will be a short post, prompted by frustrations.

I will NEVER understand why things that involve water are made from things that can rust.  I had to replace a garbage disposer once because it had rusted through.  Really??  A garbage disposer????
Then there are the baking pans.  Unless you can find an outlet that sells stainless steel (mostly for commercial businesses), you are stuck with pans that rust and look awful if you serve guests from them.

I also will NEVER understand pretty things that require special handling.  My daughter foolishly bought (expensive) gorgeous fall placemats made of wool and felt years ago, and I foolishly bought her more of them.  One spill...one spot...required dry cleaning.  Left in storage without cleaning, they mold.  I think the whole lot of those lovely placemats got thrown out.  Hurt me, big time!

The same thing applies to non-stick pans and other dishware.  I get that it needs to be handled gently, but I'm just not into washing it separately.  It goes into the dishwasher.  Period!  If it doesn't hold up, I won't buy it again.  Whatever...

So much for whining...
