We, myself included, complain that we live in a disposable world. Everything is so much easier or cheaper to just throw out the old and go buy new. While sometimes that may be true, I think we are forgetting a very valuable step. If something is broken, isn't it worth trying to fix it first?
Case in point - Our microwave went on the fritz and then completely stopped working all in the matter of a day. In a panic, I called the hubby, who was shopping at Menards anyways, and asked him to buy a new microwave. Sadly, I was about 30 minutes too late as he was already on his way home. Later that night, armed only with a screwdriver and a youtube video, my dear husband had our beloved appliance back up and running in less than an hour. Not only did we save money, but it was a good reminder that maybe our world isn't as disposable as we think. Maybe we have just forgotten how to put effort into fixing things.
There just isn't enough of that these days.
