I need to make an amendment to my December 15th post and add three more favorites.
The first is Southwest. We have flown on numerous airlines, and Southwest wins hands down! Their customer service is unparalleled in the industry, plus, they don't nickel and dime you (if you haven't flown lately, you may not realize that other airlines are charging you extra for EVERYTHING!!) We flew on US AIR a couple months ago. We had the MOST TERRIBLE experience with their customer service, plus, we ended having to pay $200 more than we had payed on airfare to take our luggage (they charge $25 per checked bag!) They attempted to charge us $25 for each car seat as well--another $75 each direction! On the other hand, over the last month we have booked and then cancelled 4 flights with Southwest, and changed the day and person on another flight...have we been charged a dime for these cancellations or changes? Nope! US Air also charges a $10 booking fee per ticket if they book your flight via telephone! This is turning into a rip on US Air, not the point. But it helps explain why Ryan said last night that he would rather have a 10 hour layover with Southwest than fly on a different airline!
My second favorite is Walgreens. Odd, I know. I just feel that every time I call with a question, or needing to refill prescriptions, they take such good care of me! I love it that I don't have to call the doc asking for refills, and I like it that they automatically use generics if possible. I just like them (plus, they are super close!)
My third favorite won't be very helpful to anyone, but I really love Minimed (the maker of my insulin pump.) Once again their customer service is unsurpassed. My dealings with them very rarely concern the pump itself (it is surprisingly durable), but when it does, they are super effecient. I also get all my pump supplies from them. They have the best system that I have ever dealt with. I appreciate them so much more because constantly dealing with pump and supplies can be a headache, and they definitely make it as easy as possible!
Totally random--I know.

Oh, Lena, if I am all about anything, it's random, so I appreciate this post!
By the way, I looked up those Joes Jeans...uh, have you ever seen their website? I don't think I would ever buy the jeans based on their ads, but since you recommended them, I'll be looking at a TJ MAXX near us 'til I find some.
Too bad I don't fly, cause that was a great airline tip! If they ever figure out how to keep me from feeling like I need to throw up, I'll be all over those friendly skies!
We love Walgreens, too. If nothing else, their summer sale on m&ms of 4 for $5 secured their #1 spot in my heart.
You are too funny! And while I don't have much experience with #2 and #3, I completely agree with #1, Love Southwest!!!
LOVE the new look Lena!!! One of my new favs..... Red Box!!
I really appreciate ur post.
BPO work from home
Lena, you crack me up. I love Walgreens, too. And I had no idea Southwest was so great!! I am going to have to try them next time (especially if I am pregnant and driving to Idaho in the WINTER!! :) Can I just tell you once again how glad I am we got to see and hang with you and Ryan--you two are freakin hilarious and some of our absolute favorites. It made me miss you alot, but I am glad we get to hook up in Idaho (random!) whenever we get a chance!! Who knew?! Take care babe.
We totally agree with Southwest! We just flew with them, and it was great. And on top of everything you've already mentioned, they usually have really funny flight attendants. When we flew into Vegas we got a "Southwest" rendition of "When You Make a Wish Upon A Star." It was awesome!
Why? Is that what you got your husband? Is it for him or me? I am confused. Please fill me in.
I totally agree about Southwest. Judd and I fly Southwest most every time we fly just for the fact they let you change your mind. I didn't know you were activly blogging again!! I love it. You are hilarious. I love the post that Ryan did!
