Did anyone watch the Emmys last night?

Of course I thought Neil Patrick Harris was excellent as always.

However, I thought it dragged on too long.  Three hours is just too much.

W.SOMERSET MAUGHAM,

I have a question DR'S, who is  he referring to?

Jane Austen.

The show will never get any shorter.

Okay, I need some help.  Back in May, I purchased what was supposed to be the 14-disc "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" radio drama from a seller on Amazon.co.uk.  I was sent the 13-disc version.  The 14th disc is a bonus disc that I specifically wanted.  This seller listed her copy on the wrong version on Amazon.co.uk...that was her mistake.  The 13-disc was available from Amazon.co.uk and sells for much less than what I paid for the 14-disc version. 
 
At the time, I contacted the seller who agreed to a refund.  I sent it back (at my additional expense) to England and the seller instantly refunded my money (including the original shipping, but not the return shipping).  Anyway, last week I received the unopened package from England!  I fessed up and e-mailed the seller asking what happened.  The seller doesn't seem to know what happened.  I e-mailed, "...please let me know what you'd like me to do."  The seller responded with, "I'm not sure as I've not had this instance before - what would best suited with you? [sic]"
 
My question...what would you do and/or what do you think I should say?

Thanks.

Is it the set you wanted? Enjoy. When they want money, they'll come after you.

[George]

Oh, once I got my refund, I reordered it from another seller (at a slightly lower price) and have since received that.  It's the correct item:

That's one option, but I wanted (for whatever reason) to be somewhat ethical...even if I'm not consistently.

[Kate]

Yes, You are correct DR Elmore.

Do you enjoy Jane Austen books? 

I do, I also love the movies

[Kate]

SHIBBOLETH:

A widely held belief.

[Kate]

The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit is on TCM right now.


I Love Gregory Peck!

[Kate]

Does anybody know of any reliable sites where I can earn money online?

[Jrand74]

Tell her you will return it to her and HER expense this time DR GEORGE.

[Jrand74]

Thanks for the link DR FJL.....I hadn't been kept in the Zach loop for awhile, nice to know he's working.

[Kate]

Goodbye for now!

TOD:

I have yet to see a cabaret.

Had a fun luncheon with singer/songwriter Harriet Schock, picked up a couple of packages, and in about an hour I'll do a jog.

[Druxy]

Do they give you the results right away, or do they make you wait?

My appointment with the cardiologist is not for a couple of weeks, but the technician told me that if there was anything that I really had to worry about, they would have called him immediately.

I agree.

I am home from physical therapy The good news is that I can once again lie on my stomach with no grisly strain on the nerves fr a lower back massage, but the bad news is that I decided to try to get home using public transportation, which involved two buses and a transfer. 

That was a strain: too much walking was bad enough but making the first step from the sidewalk to the door of my building put to much pressure on my bad foot and I nearly fell twice - even with the cane - in front of my super who rode the elevator up with me to be sure I got home safely.  I am home, but I'm a bit shaky at the moment.

Aww Larry, is it possible for you to get a different kind of cane?  I know they aren't overly attractive but something like the ones below would give you more support and there is the style that converts to a chair to sit on when you need to rest.

I survived the stress test.

 

That's great!  Does it also mean you passed the test?

[Jane]

Good morning.  Well, I survived the weekend in the heights.  We're having fun, the reviews are good, I have a feeling the last weekend will be a ton of fun for all.

From DR Jennifer:

Is it really that much different than her current style? Maybe she just got to be a better writer. I know she wrote these before she started writing under her real name.

To me it seemed like a mix of a romance novel with what we like about the novels under her own name (not really her own name because she changed her last name-lol). 

I think she mentioned that it was her usual mystery. But with more romance.

IMHO there was too much focus on the angst of the romance than on the mystery.  I liked it but not as much as the other books and only plan to read the next two in the series through the library or discounted as this one was.

W.SOMERSET MAUGHAM,

I have a question DR'S, who is  he referring to?

This is a great quote!

Jane Austen.

That was the first name that popped in my head but I really had no idea if it was true.

DITTO!

[Robin Raianiemi]

Wouldn't surprise me if he meant Jane Austen. 

[Jane]

Yes, You are correct DR Elmore.

Do you enjoy Jane Austen books? 

I think he loves all things Jane Austen.

My Nook cover says "Nobody minds having what is too good for them"

I watched. I love NPH, but was not at all crazy about the beginning. I wanted a big number.

Well she wrote these before her best sellers. So i don't expect them to be as good.   I am curious if I will like the romance aspect. Will probably depend on how it is written and if i like the characters.

[Jennifer]

DITTO!

You obviously should not pay this time if she wants it back. But I don't think that you should have had to pay last time either since she sent you the wrong item.
