Wow. And here we are in the last days. I am blown away even so. I will be writing a little note to these people. I mean, isn't 2 months enough notice for cancellation?

Apparently someone from her shopping group had a check returned. They were all shopping together at the time; they wrote my friend a letter saying oh, we have not charged your account but the check was returned. Please make payment in full for returned check. Eh? OMG, I wish some people could have intercourse with greenback because they love it soooooooooo much! The world truly has gone mad and madly in love with money.

Have the papers come and report about what great gesture you had with the old man and gain a lot of new customers. SOme people are freaking dumb. Banned as usual. “It is far easier to be a weakling than to be a Real Man. Were the Earth less harsh or the circumstances of life less austere, man would destroy himself before the shrine of the languid goddess. Only Real Men can with safety destroy the tangled forests and wilderness of Earth and make from them gardens, but will those who inherit the gardens be Real Men? The law decrees that they must be, or the wilderness will reclaim its own.” |

But not the trash the place. Sorry for the death - but a contract is a contract and there is a reason for the non-refundable status. I know of someone whose daughter called a wedding and they have the same arrangement. So they are hosting a 25th anniversary party instead of a wedding party. Maybe the man can host a wake for his wife. |

She often returned the money as she was moved to. She would have never, ever done this, and she's a lawyer. Greater is He who is in me than he who is in the world.

Nowadays every little thing ends up on the dailymail or something. Too much of a risk to take for 700 bucks. Rather he could have been praised for his good samaritan spirit and reap some free viral net publicity Banned as usual. “It is far easier to be a weakling than to be a Real Man.

Human dignity and compassion are more important than a contract, MUCH more important. If you can't see that, I pity you greatly. |
