2015 RULES!

The other day I received two emails – one from our dear friend Shirley in Canada and another from a new friend, JoAnn, in Wisconsin. By coincidence, both emails were about the same hand – the triple 2015 hand. Check out these photos and their comments. BTW, congratulations to both ladies for completing a truly wonderful hand!

From JoAnn (who won twice with this same difficult hand!): 
“What a day….
I had TWO wins of this “hole in one” hand in MahJongg today!!
Needless to say, it was a good day!”

photo 2From Shirley, who is playing with truly spectacular tiles and I would expect nothing less from her! Check out those Soaps!!

“Tonight’s Mah Jongg night at the local temple was to raise funds for the “Out of the Cold” program run by many churches and synagogues in Toronto. What made the evening more fun was that I played with women that I had never played with before and then I had this hand. Since we all forgot to bring a set I had called a friend who lived close by and she brought this nice set along. Now I have to pretty it up with some nice Joker stickers.”

Today’s posting is asking for your help on three separate matters…but first, a quick word about some truly amazing customer service. I had ordered something from Where the Winds Blow and there was a problem with what I received – or so I thought. I sent an email to the website thinking that it could be days before I heard back, as is usually the case with most online shops. Not five minutes later I heard from Lynn, the new owner of Where the Winds Blow. Not only was Lynn incredibly apologetic for any inconvenience I might have experienced (I really wasn’t inconvenienced at all), she took care of the problem immediately. My head is still spinning from this kind of customer service – I am so used to hassles and problems and this was such a pleasant outcome, quickly and easily resolved. I give Where the Winds Blow my highest recommendation and encourage all of you to support this full-service online Mah Jongg store and Lynn, a truly wonderful believer in great customer service!

And now, on to today’s issues…
