Years ago, I had a buddy who managed men's furnishings in our local Nordstrom. He was kind enough to bring me in twice a year to work the men's sales.

I want to express my reservations about movements like Kansas City minister Will Bowen's A Complaint-Free World , but to do so would be complaining and that's what the movement is trying to stop. Since I haven't received my complaint-free bracelet yet. or the book. or the t-shirt. I guess I'm still in the clear though.
