And the NOT HELPFUL sigg reply from Northern Spirit in Canada, plus my reply

Oh, and I've included my reply to her, because it was fun to write due to her message being so not helpful and annoying!

Hi. The "child" in question is a very cautious 12-year-old girl, and I was with her when it basically fell off. But thank you anyway. Sigg has offered a replacement cap, so I guess their feeling is that they'd rather have a happy repeat customer than tell me my daughter is a brute or an idiot who can't open a water bottle.

Again, thank you anyway... for not very much help, beyond offering to sell me a new lid.

Good morning Jen! [gaaaack... I never asked her to call me JEN! I hate when people are so presumptuous!!!]

It is very odd that you’ve had no response, it could be possible that the message was sent to the junk e-mail folder by the server and then deleted automatically. We are very sorry about that. I understand that you have a problem with your bottle, that the lid is damaged. We recommend that you remove the mud cap part of the top, because it has a higher chance of breaking when being handled by a child. If you would like a replacement (since we do not consider this to be a manufacturing defect), please contact the store that you purchased the bottle, or you can buy a different lid of your choice online. I hope this helps!

Thanks,

What do we tell our kids about Chabad and “Yechi”?

If I start by saying I really like Chabad, and adore the late Lubavitcher Rebbe, z"l, well... maybe you already know where I'm headed. Naomi Rivka has been asking lately what I think about Chabad. She asks, in part, because she already knows how I feel. She already knows I’m bothered, though to her, it’s mostly about “liking” and “not liking.” I wish things were that simple. Our little neighbourhood in Israel has a significant Chabad presence, and Chabad conducts fairly significant outreach within the community. Which sounds nice until you realize that this is a religious neighbourhood, closed on Shabbos, where some huge percentage of people are shomer mitzvos. Sure, it’s mostly religious Zionist, and there are a range of observances, for sure, but we’re pretty much all religious here in some way or another. So at that point, this isn’t outreach but inreach . Convincing people who are religious to be… what? A lot of Chabad’s efforts here are focused on kids, including a
