Repost: Disposable or Durable
Durable or Disposable?
Even before I became an Independent Distributor for Fuller Brush I was aware that in household goods there were two main types of products. Disposable goods are those that are cheaply made and sold inexpensively, with an estimated life of 2 or less years. These include many of the items sold at the big discount stores. They include almost any item you would use in your house. As an example, you can go to the big discount store and buy a household broom for about $4. And you can go back again & again, buying those $4 brooms once or twice a year for the rest of your life. Or you can invest in a Fuller Household Broom for $19.99 and most likely never need to purchase another for the rest of your life. The Fuller Household Broom was laboratory tested for over 1 million sweeps! That’s equivalent to sweeping the average kitchen every day for over 20 years.
If you check for similar quality products, you’ll find they are of comparable price. This is very much like any tool you purchase. Quality costs a little bit more up front, but pays for itself in the long run.
Which would you rather have?

Vonage VoIP
It’s been about 6 weeks since I installed a Vonage VoIP phone on my cable modem line. I have to say I am really happy with the way it works. You get a dial tone (just like a regular phone line), You dial (just like a reg line) the calls are just as clear as the ones I make on my regular phone line. For a nice flat fee, no matter where I call in the U.S. Supposedly it includes Canada & Puerto Rico, but I don’t call anyone in those places. With taxes my phone bill is $27. and some change. Unlimited calling. I even hooked a fax up to test it and that worked fine. I don’t know if VoIP is the wave of the future, but for me it’s a product who’s time has come!
