Now I'm staying with a college buddy -on his sofa- in his stinky bachelor pad because my pregnant wife and 2 1/2 year old son are staying with my in-laws, who are too far away for me to commute to my job.
When I return to my house to locate an item or maintain something, I'm almost hesitant to leave. After 2.5 years, I really wasn't prepared for such a sudden and dramatic change in venue. It was perversely fun at first - like an adventure - now it's just causing complete disruption of my previously ordered life.

Prove to me it is OK to stay in the house.
Prove to me that it ISN'T toxic
Why do consumers always have to prove the stuff makes us sick before the government can step in with any benefits.
By the time that happens I will be long gone, tho house foreclosed, and an eyesore sitting in the neighborhood.
I'm in Florida and I've been so ripped off by builder's, subcontractors, banks and now this.
If the bank doesn't play ball I am done..

Only as from an individual's prospective I found many high quality consumer goods during my two visits to Beijing--in 2002 and 2004. My wife worked to help build the first shopping center in China, and continued at the You Yi Shopping City as business director for mens apparel for several years. Apparently, many US importers do not buy the higher quality Chinese-made goods, but rather choose the cheapest, lowest quality goods to import to the US in order to make the most money possible. A four hundred dollar bedroom suit purchased in Hong Kong can sell for three thousand here.

It wouldn't surprise me to learn one day that the export of shoddy, unhealthy goods to America is a Chinese national policy.
