Having spent most of my career working in customer service call centers, I really appreciate good customer service. I love that story SSDreamin! You so rarely hear of things like that anymore. Recently I had the need to contact the company whose call center I last managed and was very disappointed by the poor service I received. I even asked to speak to a supervisor, who turned out to be someone I remembered from my time there. She wasn't yet a supervisor when I ran the place. She clearly didn't realize who I was and was very rude. I ended up getting what I wanted, but it took all of my patience to do it. I never did tell her that I used to be her boss! I did, however; call my former assistant, who now holds my former position and let her know. I didn't want the woman to get in trouble, but I felt I needed to at least advise the current manager. What a shame!

Cool experience, Cheerio, and you are getting a good deal!
Just had an experience with a company that made the stirrups I had. I told them I didn't think their safety stirrups worked when I fell off my horse. They were very nice, suggested a remedy, and gave me a free pair of really nice toasty gloves!!

Was browsing around the web today and stumbled upon this place: http://www.antiquemystique.com/primitive.htm

Some really cool stuff! I wanted the butter molds. I have nothing to make butter with, but they are so cool! I was also eyeballing the cowboy bathtub! It would be really cool to bathe out in the sun in the summer!! I swear! It's a good thing I don't have any money or I could easily have gone nuts here!!

You could always just get a tub and set it up outside.

Do you have a marble and a jar/w lid? You have the 'equipment' to make butter :D

I actually have the tub we pulled out of the bathroom set up out there, but I really like the "old west" look! It suits my environment!
