Small beach crabs. I hope they were just plastic...

I was going to ask if he stuffed crabs down his pants. Crazy fun!

I love TE. In recent months, I've had some questions about the fit of some products I either bought or wanted to buy. In two instances, an employee took the time to actually compare the fit of different products to one another. Another took the time to make sure that I promptly received some bike shorts that appeared to be on back order. I mean what other retailer habitually provides this kind of support and service? Plus, when I talk to someone there (Edna and Theresa come to mind), it's liking talking to a friend. They're so patient, and I know that I'm talking to people who actually use these products--maybe not the specific item I'm calling about--but they "get it." Thanks so much Susan; your company rocks.

Do they know you're Indysteel, or do you stay anonymous?

Anonymous. At most, they know I participate on the forums, but that doesn't always come out in the conversation.

I've spoken with TE staff a good number of times over the last few years and my experience matches what others have said here. They had no idea if I was a forum member or not, but in my opinion TE has the best customer service possible for an internet-based store and most brick and mortar stores.

I've been going through a lot in recent months, severe financial stress (enough said) and other unrelated stressors that have certainly stretched me to my limits. I am starting to see a little light at the end of the tunnel, and while it is hard right now to say what that light is (could be the headlight of a freight train, or the dawn of a new day) I just want to say the following:

I am very thankful for all that I DO have, a job that I love, an apartment that makes me feel like it is home, mountain biking and cycling that helps me connect to the world around me, and....

I am especially thankful for all of you here at TE. Given my posting history here this may sound odd, but I tend to isolate myself, especially when under stress, but this forum we have here is so supportive that I keep coming back to it. I love that we do share something of our lives with each other. It might be a "virtual" sharing but in the end that hasn't mattered, and it has been great to meet some of you in person.

Ok, I've had my say...
