My wife and I recently visited Jordan’s Furniture to look at mattresses. While we’ve had our problems with Jordan’s in the past, Mattresses are definitely a commodity item, the Jordan’s “sleep techs” really do seem to know what they’re talking about, and their mattress prices are quite reasonable. We have a Jordan’s PowerCharge account which… Read More: Do we have a Jordan’s PowerCharge account, or don’t we? »
You may have heard that 3M changed the formula for its Scotchgard products a number of years ago after it was revealed that they were causing significant environmental damage (well, it’s actually much worse than that, but that’s the basic idea).

Recently, the JanSport backpack I’ve been using for many years broke — the pull tab broke off of one of the zippers. JanSport packs have a lifetime warranty.

I received in the mail today responses to my complaint about St. Elizabeth’s from Tufts Health Plan and the Division of Health Care Quality of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. It’s not terribly surprising that St. Elizabeth’s lied to Tufts and the DPH just like they lied to us. After all, once they made… Read More: St. Elizabeth’s lies to Tufts Health Plan and the Mass.… »
