DR&KIDS

The North East has been hit with a fair share of bitter cold this winter. While that may be expected, cold weather brings also a fair share of car tire problems. In the particularly cold days, one can notice a good number of disabled cars on the highways or side streets with flat tires. We have been no exception either.

January 2^nd had below freezing temperatures and the wind chill, made it worse. We had a flat tire to add to that list. I decided to remove the wheel and take it to the tire shop for repair. I pulled out a 15 inch wrench from the trunk and got to work. One lug nut into the job, I heard a ‘crack.’ Unbeknownst to me, the ‘crack’ sound was not a frozen lug nut coming loose but my favorite handy wrench.

I went out and bought a new one…I had to finish the job! On the new one, I noticed the label read “lifetime warranty.” I contact the tool’s manufacturer and received a ‘return for warranty evaluation’ email. Apex Tool Group, promised to evaluate the broken tool and replace it if deemed reasonable.

Apex Tool Group lived up to their lifetime warranty. They sent a replacement 15 inch wrench to me. Now that’s good business PR. Next time you are out buying a tool(s), look into their products. Just remember to keep the tool’s label for reference in case of warranty needs

Have a ‘lifetime warranty’ kind of day!

 

We have a twin-over-full bunk bed. All through last year, our 10 year old had slept on the twin and our 6 year old on the full bed. Given the full bed ample space, she had filled up the extra space with stuffed animals, collectively called flushies.

As a New Year resolution, we decide to have them switch beds since our 6 year old child felt she had grown old enough to start using the top bunk bed. Call it downsizing. Within a couple days, she had noticed that the extra space was no more. It did not take long until she officially put in a petition to have ‘her full size bed back.’

It went like this: “I do not like the top bed anymore. It is not comfy and I do not fit in it. It even says so in The Cat In The Hat book. I do not like the little bed…my feet stick out of the bed and when I pull my legs in, my head sticks out on the other side!” She performed dramatically.

She ended it there. I bet, the story says…I do not like this house too…but am glad she did not go that far. Either way, she has made her point loud and clear. I think the underlying message is that we need a bigger house so that everyone will have their own bedroom. That way, she can have a big and comfy bed.

Have a goodnight!
