We have decided not to mention yesterday's episode unti later in the week to avoid disrupting her birthday so we will call her a like later when I would normally be getting home

I suspected you would hold off mentioning it today.

For me, a blessed day off, and one could not be more welcome.

I do have a most enjoyable thing to attend late this afternoon and evening, and I must run a few errands before that. But this morning and early afternoon are just what the doctor ordered.

Today is my 17th wedding anniversary.

Sandy and I have, actually, been a couple for 22 years, but the first 5 were rehearsal.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY 🥂

Thank you, Jane!

Today I will also be making a call to Amazon in the Case of the Disappearing Reviews, which should be interesting.

Basically, what happened was this:  I read GEE way back when and put a review on Amazon. Later, housemate Kristi read her own copy and also put up a review. It was up there for a few glorious seconds, when both hers and mine got zapped by an unseen force.

She called Amazon, and long story short (it took forever due to both the general communication challenge and the rep's inability to see the cause or give any meaningful explanation), but she finally got an email indicating that the reason for hers being taken down was that her account has "elements" in common with another account from which a review of the same product had originated. This, in Amazon's view, indicates the strong possibility of bias in both reviews.

When I talked to them about my own having disappeared, my rep could also "see" nothing wrong and said that if I didn't get an email saying someone had flagged it as offensive or inappropriate, then it was probably a system glitch and that I should feel free to resubmit my review. That, of course, was also blatantly bullshit, as when I went to do so this morning, I was blocked from doing so -- as Kristi still is.

So now I'll be attempting to convince a rep (in the U.S.) that there were not only two separate purchases of the item (three, actually, as I reviewed based on my Kindle reading, and we each bought a hard copy from Kritzerland), and that there is

    (get ready for it)

                                      no collusion!     :)

Good luck!

This is more frustrating than our missing package that was returned to the warehouse,  at 3:00am, due to a non existant mailing address.  Our address is correct and no delivery person was looking for us at that hour.

Yes DR CHAS SMITH....good luck....

I had an innocent photo flagged on FaceBook yesterday, and I just took it down rather than try to tilt the windmill.

I like the new word that DR JANE has created.  I think it should begin to be used immediately and also placed in the Webster's Dictionary.

Ibegan.......which means that one has started something...i.e. a book.

I'm pretty sure that there is a rule on amazon that two people from the same household cannot both review the same book.

Yesterday my Indianapolis Theatre Home - the professional Phoenix Theatre...moved from the space where they had been located to a brand new lovely facility several blocks toward the center of town.

I can hardly wait to attend a show there....and perhaps WORK there as well.  If my friend Bryan who is the Artistic Director needs an old man in something. So exciting. 

This is actually the third space they have occupied.  When Ibegan with them in 1985, they were in a storefront on 9th Street.

The old space:

DR Vixmom I am so happy that you are home and resting today.  I was very worried yesterday after reading DR Ginny's post. I hope that you are feeling much better today. You are such a shining light on HHW and we definitely need you at 100%.

In doing a little homework before calling, it looks like DR Jennifer is absolutely correct when it comes to that rule -- in and of itself -- so I know there's no point in arguing that. However, I think I can make the case for restoring just my own review and not both of them .... in spite of this first statement (yes? no?):

If your review is removed or rejected because it does not comply with our guidelines concerning promotional content, you may not resubmit a review on the same product, even if the resubmitted review includes different content.

Customers in the same household may not post multiple reviews of the same product.

Today was Annabelle's first elevator ride where she did not panic and try to escape.  After our patrol, she rode down to the first floor with me to pick up yesterday's mail and then back up with no fright.  She's now telling Thatch about the big adventure.

I've now accomplished items 1,2,3, and part of 5 on my list.  The laundry room, was empty so I had an easy time washing out the litter pans.  I think I'll finish up Item 5 and then have some breakfast.

I need to add as well Item 8: begin pulling books for Connecticut libraries, which I will tie in with clearing space for the air purifier.

Tomorrow, besides being the last day of April, is Adopt A Shelter Pet Day.  I wish I could afford to adopt one more, but if any DRs are thinking of adopting a pet, tomorrow's the day!

It would have been considerate if Amazon had simply declined the new review and explained you already submitted a review from the same address.
