And it's because their customer service is 'nowhere near crappy.' Let me explain ... I went to a seminar a few years back where the speaker was proclaiming … Continue reading Shout out to chewy
Did you ever have a chance encounter that turned into a lifelong treasure? I met my friend Carol in the 11th floor ladies room of 26 Broadway in downtown Manhattan back in about 1985.
