TommyLog – Do The Right Thing!

This week had a SUPER customer services story to share with you. I was getting my old iPhone 4S repaired. needed some good old TLC so i took it to my buddies at Electronics ETC on Northland. They diagnosed the problem and had the phone fixed in a very timely fashion. But when I came to pick it up, I saw that he screen was on in the same condition it was when i dropped it off. it has a rather large scratch in it. What happened next was just amazing. They offered me a discount on the work that I had completed. That just wasn’t going to do it for me as I was planning on reselling the phone on ebay… so they offered to replace the screen for … NO CHARGE! Not only did they take good care of my original issue, but they did the right thing, in taking care of the scratch.

There is a reason I send all my friends to Electronics ETC! YOU ROCK!

For the Love of Animals

For the last 2 days, the “gym movie” has been the same at my local gym. War Horse was the movie and though I was listening to my tunes on my iPhone, I still got a good deal out of the movie… or the part that I watched.

War Horse was set in WWI with the battle between the British and the Germans. One moment that hit home was the scene where the horse became tangled in barbed wire. There was a British soldier that put a white flag on his bayonet and went to the rescue of the horse. When he reached the horse, he realized he didn’t have any wire cutters with him and the horse was pretty tangled. A German solder then came out of his foxhole and offered his wire cutters.
I thought it was so remarkable that 2 people, fighting against each other with such verbosity could come together when an animal was in trouble. This led me to think about some friends I have today and their hard work in the name of animals and how much tireless energy they put in for animal “no kill” shelters. I find it so interesting how much energy gets put into keeping puppies and kittens from being sacrificed but yet when it comes to human a baby that does not seem to be the case. What would these people who love animals so dearly think if they knew that baby kittens or puppies were being.  The news is littered with human examples of indifference… if this were a cute and cuddly animal… who would be outraged then?

Look for the Helpers

Over the past 2 days, our minds and hearts have been spilling over for the people hurt by the tragic bombing in Boston. You look for answers but they are few and far between. How do you explain this?

I love the quote by Mr Feed Rogers that has been circling the interwebs…

When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, “Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.” To this day, especially in times of “disaster,” I remember my mother’s words and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers — so many caring people in this world. – Freed Rogers

This is just so true… TRUE TRUE TRUE!!

its all how you look at things. Sure its easy to be mad and upset…even angry, but what does that get you. Zero.

This take look at the bright side to a whole new level… LOVE THIS!

I miss Mr. Rogers and the good he did!
