Remembered to take out the recycling, and am working on collecting trash & newspapers. Have got started on laundry.

Guy came by early (10:30am vs 1pm as he'd said) to do the 'elevation' etc. stuff for the window company. I was eating grits when he came. I don't particularly *like* grits, but they like me.

A little while ago I heard thumping on the roof & since it's early for Santa I went out to look. Two guys from Building & Zoning were tramping around. I *think* the roof passed, at least when I looked later they'd taken the paper they were supposed to take. I called the roofer guys to let them know.

Info on Scribblit showing their Terms of Service- it looks as if it's on track to be going live near the end of the year, as [livejournal.com profile] two_corpses said back in August?. Anyway, it's hopeful.

I just called Bob's Red Mill 800 number, and at first the woman was 'oh, call Amazon because we sell through them' but I said 'I wanted you to know because this product isn't gluten-free and it might be making other customers ill, so I wanted you to know the batch number'. She took the number and said they'd refund me the full amount I asked for $51.00 ($25.50 each) I didn't ask for postage reimbursement, I'm not greedy. She suggested I donate the mix to a food bank when I asked if they wanted them back.

I don't think I'll do that, because the only one who'd want them would be someone on a gluten-free diet, and they're NOT gluten-free. Other Bob's Red Mill mixes are fine (the chocolate chip cookies and the brownies were wonderful). I think I will compare ingredient labels out of curiosity to see what's different.

Back to laundry, or should I try to write porn??

That's a very positive post. Reward yourself with porn.

I was going to reply to your reply but for some reason gmail wouldn't let me. Glad you got your money back but you are not thinking like a lawyer. The cost of the items doesn't matter a good (or bad as I think) lawyer could get you millions(or at least try) for
misrepresentation
distress and pain
are two things that spring to my mind. I'm sure that type of lawyer could think of half a dozen more things

Sure, if you don't get a crooked lawyer. When I desperately needed an attorney I searched on the net, looked in phone book & asked everyone I knew for a reference. The first attorney I got ripped me off and did nothing except waste so much time that things got even more mucked up.

I'd much rather get a $51 refund check in the mail.

That definitely sounds like progress.

Yay! Been going around the house doing little things-- was not terribly surprised to find 4 more framed photos.
