I needed the sweep hand to check the pulse and respirations of patients.<br /><br />When my last Timex died, I started using the time on my cellphone.

When you have something that works keep it.<br /><br />Years ago when I lived in California I bought my rice maker at a Japanese store and a few year later the lid cracked I called the store to see if they had a replacement lid. They didn't but gave me a number to call that was their supplier. <br />I called and I ask if I could buy one glass lid. They said no problem and they would send one out that day. When I asked the price he said no charge. It was his pleasure to send me a replacement. <br />They did, I still have the rice cooker, it is 15 years old and still works great. <br /><br />cheers, parsnipangryparsniphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236094827257446781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322620.post-73927508319348603662011-03-11T04:25:42.821+00:002011-03-11T04:25:42.821+00:00My hubby needs to hang out with you more.

It's cheap and does everything I want it to do perfectly and it's not a great disaster if it gets scratched or walloped with a scaffolding pole (although in the case of the later, it wouldn't be good due to the fact it's usually strapped round my wrist so the scaffolding pole would likely get me as well)Sandy's witteringshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05009803939431014995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322620.post-50924717861151018262011-03-10T22:03:28.152+00:002011-03-10T22:03:28.152+00:00It would have been nice if they would have just gi...It would have been nice if they would have just given you the band but on the other hand it did make for a delightful post.<br /><br />It is so hard these days to find a company that just does good work all the way around.<br /><br />And yes, you should have ordered two.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03828426520214270655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322620.post-6899855708259620302011-03-10T20:41:08.600+00:002011-03-10T20:41:08.600+00:00Glad to one of the 950 that helped get you a speci...Glad to one of the 950 that helped get you a special deal!Brindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17365565694163030828noreply@blogger.com
