LifeStride Stands Behind Their Products


If you are a regular reader of this blog, you may have picked up on the fact that between my former insurance company, their recommended "restoration" company (ServiceMaster) and various and sundry dishonest contractors (Smith, Roper, et. al.), I have somewhat lost faith in the way business is done in the 21st century.

However, I must compliment LifeStride. I purchased a pair of black vinyl LifeStride high-heeled boots a few years ago, and I never had a chance to wear them until November 27, 2012. The vinyl actually started cracking and peeling a few places the first and only time I wore them, which was to dinner with friends, walking only a few feet from my house to the car, and from the car to the restaurant and back.

After corresponding with LifeStride via phone and email, I carefully packed my boots up on Dec. 11, and I sent them back to LifeStride following their return instructions with a note explaining what happened. I wasn't terribly optimistic after the way some of these other businesses have treated me the past few years, so I took photos of the boots before I packed them and as I packed them, thinking I would have to document and argue my case, but no! Perhaps the fact the price tag was still on the bottom of one boot and still clearly legible helped, because I got a full refund in the mail today!

It is really nice when a company stands behind their product. Thank you, LifeStride for restoring some of my faith in 21st century business practices.

Choking on Honey: What to Do

Image
Choking on honey: What to do Honey is a thick, viscous fluid which can become trapped in a person's airway. While there are many articles written about using honey to remove obstructions from the throat, there is not much, if anything, written about what to do if someone is choking on honey. I had an experience where I was choking on honey and called the paramedics. I couldn't even speak by the time I had someone on the phone. By the time the paramedics arrived, the honey had dissolved enough for me to begin gasping for air.  The main thing is to NOT PANIC and not inhale it deeper while it is thick. Honey will slowly dissolve and thin out. Coughing helps to break it up if you can slowly suck in enough air to get a cough out.    Also see: Dr. Morgan Wills: What to do if choking on honey - Nashville Skin, Health & Beauty Examiner

'Naked and Afraid XL' and Mean Girl Cliques

Image
I just finished watching the third season of "Naked And Afraid XL." I respect these people for leaving the comfort, safety and security of home to face unknown hardships in remote and inhospitable places. I wouldn't choose to do it, so my comments should be viewed knowing I realize I could not do what these people have done. In addition, I am aware that most of the action and dialogue takes place off camera. All my impressions are compliments of a cameraman and a film editor and the scenes they chose to share. A lot happens that that I am completely unaware of. With these two disclaimers in mind, let's talk about Mean Girl Cliques on "Naked And Afraid XL." Every girl comes up against them in elementary school. They become a force to be reckoned with in junior high and have usually become more sophisticated and somewhat nicer in high school. Even boys know their wrath, but the cruelties of Mean Girls are normally reserved for other girls. Not so on...
