A Few Kind Words

In response to a follow-up email sent by Lana in LoneStar's customer service department, a satisfied customer writes:

Dear Ms. Ashworth,

I am still enjoying the lanyards we bought, but I am no longer doing short tours for our senior citizens group so I won't be purchasing anything further. Thanks for your follow up. My experience with your company was exemplary.

Best regards,

Some like it Hot, Some like it Cold

This week we asked the LoneStar Team...
Would you rather be in a really cold place or a really hot place? Why?

Mary - HOT! I hate being cold. It's more comfortable to shed some clothes and sit in a/c then bundle up and try to get warm.

Matt - really cold and the reason is you can always put more clothes on but you can only take so many off till you get an indecent exposure citation lol

Eric - I would say hot because if you're from Texas you already know what that's like.

Benito - I would rather be in a cool place, not in a hot or cold place. I prefer cold over hot any day.

Pamela - I'd rather be in a really hot place. I love the sun! There is more to do in the sunshine than in the cold. You just need to be near a body of water in a really hot place so you can cool off as needed! Summertime Rolls

Rob - I was born in Michigan (cold place) and moved to Texas (hot place) in my 20's so I think I would rather be in a hot place, but in August I want to be back in the cold place, this is called "Bi-Polar"

Corina - I would rather be in a hot place because my body can't tolerate the cold, I start aching all over.

Tasha - I would rather be cold as I become quite irritable when overheated. :P

Lana - I would rather not be hot or cold! I would rather be in between. But I guess I would have to pick hot since I live in Texas

Lindsay - I definitely prefer a hot place...that's why I moved to TX.
