Well, if you took all the time to read those old posts, here is the payoff:

Citibank re-opened the dispute, contacted the merchant, and we got our money back! Huzzah! Hooray! I even wrote a thank- you note to the dispute people thanking them for doing a thankless job.

Now, I don’t know if it was because of the Google doc or if the merchant agreed that they were in the wrong or if Citibank was just tired of hearing from me, but at least I said my piece.

Oh, I forgot something that you might have seen if you read the Google doc: The information and screenshots that the merchant provided about their terms and conditions and return policy? They were from a different website. Thepremiumleather.com instead of leatherings.com. Good grief.

I have thought about having a fire by the lake for the longest time, but morning temperatures on the weekends have been below 30 degrees, and I knew Lloyd wouldn’t tolerate that. Well, this Saturday it was supposed to be around 50! Hooray! I was mostly excited because I bought two new gadgets – a […]

Monday’s eclipse was only supposed to be partial – 84% in Seward – but I was still pretty excited about it. My big reason? Those disco balls! I have one hanging in the classroom window all the time and the afternoon sun makes lovely reflections. I had prepped the children that it might be cloudy […]
