About Today

What an unusual day. I had collected funds to purchase a case of paper towels for the office building I lease. Nothing unique about that except my Costco card expired last night and they would not let me purchase until I renewed the card. Not wanting to spend $50.00 today I declined. I asked a friend to pick up the box of paper towels because he was going and has an active membership card.

I sent a photo of the product and that should have been all that was needed. It's only paper towels!



He asked the front desk what location to look and they sent him in the back. Of course, he can't find it. He asked an employee, who said they worked there 15 years and have never heard of this producer. Again PAPER TOWELS. On the phone, I mention that must be the dumbest person he could have found in the whole place because they were on the shelf one day ago. 



He finds another employee and gets the same answer. We don't have any tri-fold paper towels. I get another phone call and just break out in laughter. Using this standard I must have a genius IQ because I remembered enough to point him in the right direction to find the box of 4000 towels. I said if you see the Kirkland display of roll towels, turn around to your left and walk down that lane. Pass 3 products and about the 4th to 5th will be the giant boxes of paper towels.



I could find direct a person to find a product 3 people in the store had never seen. Again I must be a genius because if not I don't want to say what they must be!

Anti Bullying Book

Bullying has been around for a long time. In the past, it was limited to a one to one confrontation at school or on the way home. A couple bystanders saw the event but seldom more than that. This meant you could go back to class the next day and 99% of the students in the school knew nothing about what happened. You could go on with your day knowing it would be a week or two before another confrontation happened. 

 

Today this single event is captured on video for all to see and many will jump in on the action spreading it to most everyone in the school. Now no one gets a break for a week or two because the harassment is continuous by not just one bully but many hiding behind fake online accounts. 

The only way to reduce this trend is to have more involvement at home and give the troubled child a new focus so they no longer feel the need to follow those starting the trouble. For the kids on the receiving end, they need a solid model at home to give them the confidence to ignore the comments and feel good about themselves.

The book My Message Today was not designed as an anti-bullying book. It was focused on bringing positive thoughts first thing in the morning and wrapping up in the evening with a conversation between the parents and child about the meaning of the daily message and how it fit into their daily routine. Many  felt this helped those being bullied and we are very thankful for that. 

The book is available on the website and also on amazon.

Salon Chairs

Salon styling chairs are not all the same. Sure online you see a lot of chairs and great looking images but the reality is hidden inside. Inside the chair is the frame, foam, hydraulic lift and other things that make or break the value of the chair. First if you are buying a $150.00 chair just assume it is not going to be much as far as qualty. Sure it is a chair and it might smell a little funny but it is a chair. Consider your money totally thrown in the trash as that is where this chair will be soon enough. The $500.00 chairs are a step up but still a temporary solution to needed quality equipment for your salon. Over $900.00 and you will start to find quality that will last. Sorry for the hard truth but someone needs to be honesy with you. You can't get something for nothing. No way around that fact. Salon chairs like anything else cost more when higher priced companents are used to assemble it and the better the components the longer it will perform. #salonchairs #hairsalon
