From time to time I go to a home and garden show, or a country fair and run across a vendor that sells sheepskin products. I always stop and run the palms of my hands across the softness of the piles of sheepskin rugs that they usually have stacked on one of the tables.
From time to time I’m tempted to buy a couple of new sheepskin seat covers to give my wife for her car because I love how luxurious they feel in my truck. The biggest reason that I haven’t done that yet is my concern for how well they would hold up to the rigors of our very active dogs. I would really hate to be taking the dogs somewhere and leave them in the car for five minutes and come back to the car just to find that the dogs had devoured them!
For my birthday last month my mother bought me an “Infinity Razor.” She bought it at her favorite drugstore in the aisle where they sell the “As seen on TV” junk items. She was excited to give it to me because she thought that it would be a great way to save money for me. It claims to stay “new blade sharp” and that it will be “the last razor you’ll ever buy!”
Well, I gave it a try, and the blade was a dull as a ball of dryer lint. If you are thinking about buying one of these things, my advice to you is, don’t waste your money. I recently found a blog on the Internet that was discussing this same product and there were many comments about the product, and it seemed to me that the general consensus was the same. One of the comments wrote that they tried to return the item and was told that it was only returnable if it had not been used! So I’m not even going to try to return mine, I’m just throwing it away and chalking it up to one more way the consumer has been cheated. Maybe I should send a note about this to the local television news lady who does special stories on rip-offs!
