Bah ! I spend too much time walking and sitting in a chair now for my foot to really get better , too !
I hear you about modern-day things wearing out fast.
Right now, two of my sweaters have developed huge, gaping holes in the elbows
but I'm afraid to throw them out even though they're really old
because they're made of wool.
They lasted for years and are still okay besides the holes.
If I buy new ones, they might fall apart, like you said, within weeks.
I went to a store to check out new sweaters,
and they looked all mis-shapen,
like they weren't even sewed straight.
So I left without buying any.
(Of course I went to the cheap store,
but even the good stores are cheap these days ...
As in, you pay a lot for junk.)
There are some who predict, ASS-P,
that our society will soon collapse and rebuild
into a place where people actually care about each other.
Then they'll care about things like quality shoes and sweaters.
Hope you're getting along all right.
