There are 300 million Americans. There are 200 million Americans with internet access. There are 35 million Americans who sew at home for a hobby. Why are there only 6 women who control all of the information regarding sewing on the internet? Doesn't it seem likely that out of the 35 million home sewers, there would be a few more than six who blog, review, monitor, all informal computer exchanges regarding home sewing?
Remember when there used to be chatrooms online? You could access them from MSN, Yahoo, AOL, etc. Why is it that with 200 million Americans with computer access, there would be the same 20 or 30 people in the chatroom every single night simply saying hello and goodbye over and over again?
Why is it that when you type "Lake Erie" into a Google search, you can't access any information about that subject after the early 90's, and all of the articles available just restate the exact same information over and over again? And, the information is not accurate.
Why do they keep constructing housing that looks like the low income units they built at the end of WWII (called "projects") when there are literally thousands of homes standing empty all over the Greater Cleveland Area? The low income units look like shells, and they also appear to be empty, but they post signs prominently in front stating that the units cost at least $100,000 more than any houses in the surrounding area. They never stop building them.
Why do they keep building outdoor shopping centers that look like small towns, and also resemble movie sets, with almost no merchandise in the stores? When an employee was asked where the items were that were on sale, the reply: "We don't have sales."
Why would it be impossible to find a pair of child's pajamas in a size 2 in all of the Eastside department stores in Cleveland? Likewise, a strainer for the sink?
Why would a major department store in Cleveland have the lights at half power, the escalators turned off, the air conditioning not working, and no employees (or shoppers) anywhere in sight in the middle of the day, on more than one occasion?
Why are there many departments stores with almost no merchandise? They keep building more.
Why would they remove most of the books from a library and then redo the entire inside of the library to make tons of empty space and meeting rooms? The books are gone.
Why have they removed the tabernacles, the crucifixes, the statues, the candles, the altar cloths, even the kneelers, from many of the Catholic Churches in the Cleveland area? There is just a bare table and 3 chairs in what used to be the sanctuary.
Why have the crosses been removed from the steeples on many of the Protestant Churches?
Why have they stopped repaving the streets? My street has been in need of repaving for years, and years now. At one point, it actually looked like it was in a war zone, it was so torn up. I'm not exaggerating. They patch...poorly. Never repave. Same for all of the streets around me.
Why, when I was in a JoAnn's Fabrics and asked to speak to the person who orders the sewing notions, was I told: "They reorder themselves." Then I was told to look online.
The brand of notions that JoAnn carries (Dritz), makes the notion I was looking for.
Why did a clerk respond, "A zebra, on a pole?" when asked if there were any spring
horses/rocking horses in the toy department of a local Super K? The clerk made this response not once, but two times, when asked if there were any rocking horses. "A ZEBRA.....ON A POLE?????" What does that mean????
Why did a local Sears, which was almost completely empty at Christmas time, have a sign in the doorway saying, "We have a toy department," but they really didn't have a toy department.
No toys. No shoppers. Last two weeks before Christmas.
Where are you gonna run, Bill? There's no one like you left.
