Dave, that guy sounds annoying. What a waste of time.
All American Apparel tshirts products are made in the US. I mention them because they are the most affordable. Many other small firms such as Steven Alan and Joseph Abboud also make some of their items in the US, but they tend to be expensive ($160 and up).
I would love to buy “made in America” but I can not find one product made in the USA. Even Levis the “jeans that built America” are all produced in Mexico, not one pair is made in the USA. I appoligize to the ladies but this is a vulgar conversation and the language can get dirty especially if we are talking about filthy things like bankers and politicians!
359 Decatur, mopar. it’s a short sale. He says he won’t accept anything less than the $449k ask. I told him that was rather up to the bank.
It’s also a nightmare of carved up rooms and many tenants. He originally said it was owner occupied, which it is NOT. He said it will be delivered vacant, which i highly doubt.
Slimy, arrogant, young thing. Total DB.
We need the juicy details, Dave.
Speaking of real estate agents, yesterday I met probaly the slimiest, most arrogant douchebag I’ve ever encountered.
I always make sure the teabags I buy are made anywhere but the USA.
I do make the effort to try to buy made in USA whenever possible. I think that’s a responsible, patriotic thing to do. It’s getting more and more difficult but thankfully many companies have discovered there’s a niche market in selling Made in USA products and hopefully more will follow.

Bobby sure likes the sound of swearing a lot. His lyrics are cheese.
