An update on the "socks" story....

Remember a couple of weeks ago,  when Amazon sent me 2 BOXES (11 pairs) of socks instead of 2 PAIRS (which I ordered), but only charged me for the 2 PAIRS?  I was honest in telling them about their mistake, and followed their instructions by packaging up the extra 9 pairs of socks, took them to the post office,  stood in the  line and shipped them back.  If you recall, I was whining that Amazon didn't at least tell me to keep an extra pair of socks for my trouble (returning the extra socks to them)?  Well, shame on me, I whined too soon.  Today I received an e-mail from Amazon, thanking me for returning the socks, and they also told me they had credited my Visa card $26.00, which is the amount I was charged for the two pairs of socks!  So....I ended up getting my new walking socks for free.  Nice, huh?  ;-)


I am watching "A Place In The Sun," one of my all time favorite movies.   Elizabeth Taylor is sooooo beautiful in the movie!  And talk about a "wasp waist!"  Good grief...TINY!


Oops....Shelley Winters just fell out of the boat....

That has to be a good feeling. You will remember this every time you wear those socks. I'm glad they noted your honesty.

I'm glad the "no good deed goes unpunished" proverb didn't apply to you! Glad it worked out well!
