Is there any company that manufactures toasters that last more than a week? I bought an item of furniture from one of the popular furniture store and got with it free gift of a toaster. Based on prior experience, I told the store representative that I was giving the toaster no more than two weeks before it starts malfunctioning.
Well, I used it for the first time this evening when I got home from work. I toasted one bagel and later in the night when I decided to indulge in another bagel with some cream cheese, I had to hold down the lever.
I’ve heard so many people with the same complaints - toasters that work only for a limited period regardless of the cost.
Soaps 
I’ve always been a bit of a snob when it comes to soaps. The plots are usually so weak and often times so ridiculous that for years now I’ve dismissed them as foolish and secretly regard the people who profess to be hooked on them as er - well - uhm - maybe I should refrain from passing judgements. I do like people reading my blog. Well, having said that, can you imagine my horror when I found myself hooked to not one but two soaps??!!! It didn’t matter how I spinned it, you know, just a passing interest, or, mere curiousity, I couldn’t deny the truth. I was hooked. Each night at 10:30 finds me totally engrossed and the next morning at 5:30 I’m up to catch the repeat. The plots are just as lame as their predecessors but I’m hooked anyway. Go figure.

If toasters break down so much, then buy a cheap one. Soaps aren’t what they used to be. After a while, the storylines all look alike.

A toaster oven ain’t the same as a proper toaster - it just won’t to the job in my opinion!!!

I have had my toaster for over 6 years now and it was handed down to me by my sister and it still works perfectly! It seems the new ones are crappy!
As for the soaps, I don’t watch them, they are all the same.

Screw toast! Eat the bread as it come from the bakery, thats what I say! I use soap, I don’t watch it.

On toasters>>> strange, I doh really toast nutting anymore, but, when I bought my toaster, I did so cuz it was cute, and matched my kitchen. That was 3 years ago, and I have never used it…
On soaps>>> I hate the namby pamby daytime soaps! Ludcrous! But…I find that almost most programs have a toast flare of some sort, and are ready to leave you hooked. Reel you in like a fish! Those are the dangerous ones!
BTW - Happy new year, Gela!!!
