The Saga Continues!

It amazes me how people can fabricate stories without a hint of consciousness. I received the publishers response to my dispute. They cherry picked emails, fabricated emails, said I provided email acknowledgement for services that didn't exist. I have gone through their response several times. I'm...

Two Day until Autumn! October Baseball Is On The Way.

Normally this time of the year I get fired up for October Baseball but this year my Tigers will not make the playoffs. They aren't mathematically eliminated but the writing is on the wall. Their biggest problem was not getting a timely hit to score runs. They haven't 18 one run games. The team... Sign in to see full entry.

T. G. I. F.! WEEKEND NOT OFF TO A GREAT START! BUT NO WORRIES!

My son-in-law was going to mow my lawn tonight after work so he wouldn't have to worry about it interfering with his football games this weekend. After that he was going to install a new faucet in the guest bathroom. I was working intently on my proof for the reopening of my dispute. I checked the... Sign in to see full entry.

Update On My Dispute! Publisher Is Unbelievably Cruel!

I got a text that said my dispute was resolved and I was responsible for the payment. I was stunned beyond belief. I couldn't fathom how I would lose with all the evidence I presented. I was angry but decided if I had to pay I wanted my book formatted. I went through the last draft they submitted to... Sign in to see full entry.

The Panaromic Puzzle Is Finished!

The puzzle was challenging and fun at the same time. The sky was a nightmare. I never got a feel for the piece colors. They blended completely. The trees were hard to figure out as well. The picture they included did not match the puzzle. There was one less building on the right side. The left side... Sign in to see full entry.

A Nice Day In The Treasure Valley!

It was a pleasant day in the valley. I love 70+ degree weather. The rest of this month will be like that. Jessica has officially entered month 9 of her pregnancy. Jasmine is due on October 14th. It's so nice to be at this point with all the stuff that has happened to her. She went from severe... Sign in to see full entry.

Update On My Dispute With Aurora Writers!

My credit card company sent an email indicating they got a response to my dispute. They said they would let me know within 10 regarding their decision. I have said in previous communication with my card company that I didn't feel they would be truthful because they hadn't been truthful with me. I... Sign in to see full entry.

Football and Baseball Sunday!

This is the time of the year when football rules the airwaves. Plus a little baseball. I have two phones but one phone is only operated on the wifi connection. I use it in the event I have two games airing at the same time. That was the case today with my Tigers and Lions. Tigers won so just one... Sign in to see full entry.
