After a hiatus of 2 1/2 months and catching up on all night-time television, I’m back to blogging. A new topic I’m adding to the blog is FAIL. Specifically, items we buy in good faith but break down on us. My biggest issue at the moment is jeans. Or holes in jeans. When I spend any money on jeans, I expect them to last me a minimum of one year, not one week.

That didn’t happen with these jeans from Talbots. Sadly, they were on sale and no returns allowed, but boy, did they suck. Even worse was the repair job by my local drycleaner.

Send me your failed items, a photo, and your story.
