Another Recall on Cribs

Published by suzette under All,Parenting

Another 5-month-old child was killed in Brooklyn, NY, on 31 Aug 2008. The baby was entrapped between the matress and the stationary side rail of a convertible crib, and killed by suffocation.

CPSC has issued a recall on this, together with Playkids USA. Not sure if this is due to quality or design issue? It is anothe China made product. :(

All parents out there, it is important to check out whether the stuff you use is safe for your kids or not. Remember few years ago, a child was choked to death by his own pacifier? Aparently there are standards that a pacifier should meet, and it wasn’t met. There was no ventilation holes, and the size of the mouth piece was too small that the whole pacifier could just go into the child’s mouth. Unfortunately our government don’t monitor these standards, so it is important for us to check these out from other countries. CPSC is a good source.

Customer Support – Maybe

Published by suzette under All,Miscellaneous

This is hillarious! You must read this tele-conversation between my friend’s wife and the phone company.

My friend is a British who married a Thai woman. Their phone line was down for 10 days, and the wife tried to get the line re-connected by calling the customer support. The last conversation went something like this…

“Sawasdee ka Khun XXX. You still have no telephone line.”

“I know that already. That’s why I am calling on my mobile.”

“So why are you calling this time?”

“To tell you I still have no telephone line”.

“Yes, we know, but thank you for this information. Goodbye.”

“No, wait, I want to ask you when we are going to get our line back.”

“I have no idea. It depends on the workmen. They are very lazy. Please tell your husband we are sorry for his inconvenience.”

“He is farang (foreigner). So he will want to know when he can expect to be able to work from home again. Will we get our line back this week?”

“Maybe.”

“Farangs don’t like “maybe”. What should I tell him?”

“Tell him he will get his line back this week.”

“Is that true?”

“Maybe.”

OK, Change is good

Published by suzette under Miscellaneous

Received this email, which was promoting their motivational course. It is about a mind intensive seminar, and the subject is about CHANGE.

It is a long email, but somehow it attracted me (usually I delete before even read past the second line). It was like talking to me, answering my recent crisis. This para particularly touches my heart:

…Therefore, utilize every change as a gift. Whenever change occurs, ask yourself “how can I use this change to my benefit?” If you lose your job, know that a new and better opportunity awaits you. If you lose a relationship, know that a new and better relationship awaits you…
(Success Resource)

Well, the fact of losing my job has already sunk in, and I am not that emotional now. I think what this email says is right. Should take advantage of change, instead of licking my wound and be bitter about it. I think I will be doing fine in this, if DH and family are giving me the support I need!! :)
