It came, it cleared, we conquered. I can’t thank all of YOU enough because it was due to YOU that this came out as it did. Countless emails and phone calls from YOU. If not for you, I would have been flicked off like a flea. It was posted on forums and blogs and Facebooks and Twitters. Because of you, also, he was contacted by his local Better Business Bureau and also because of comments left by you at Folio Magazine, he was contacted by them. I don’t even know who else, where else, may have contacted him. Overall, it was a blitz that told a publisher you can’t do that.
The handwritten note says:
“I’m very sorry this happened. I will do everything in power (sic) to see that unauthorized work will never appear in one of our publications. Thank you for your understanding. Dave
Sorry for the extra z in your name on the check!”
I thought that was sweet in a weird way…..
This bizarre situation now concludes.
And really, how bizarre WAS THAT????!!!!
Did last week actually happen? Or did I imagine that, because I have a calf and I’m tired….
And I know you’ll want to know if I’m doing something fabulously fun with this unexpected payment. I’m just going to pay bills. And pay back my cousin, who gave me money to go to my mom’s funeral. It’s a very, very weird blessing.
THANK YOU.

And paying bills isn’t a bad thing. I’d rather have the bills paid than go buy something I don’t really need or even something I do need. I’d rather not be in debt, in fact, I’ve been known to pay my monthly bills in advance when I got a windfall (usually back child support) because I’d never know when I’d get more money.
And it will be a nice present for your cousin to get paid back early. It was sweet of him/her to loan it to you!

The internet is a wonderful tool! I hope more than Dave saw this little whoop-de-do and took a lesson from it.
Sound to me like you have some wonderful family in those hills.
I believe you chose the right place to live.

Paying bills with it is a good thing. I agree with Darlene and often do the same thing, pay my bills ahead when I can. And pay down on the principals on things like the car or the mortgage.
I had a little unexpected windfall last week. It was a small amount, but it covered the fixings for Thanksgiving dinner, most of Christmas dinner, and two extra turkeys (they were on sale for $0.49/lb at Wally World) and that is a huge relief. Although finding room for 4 turkeys in my freezers created a different, much happier problem!

This is on topic if you think of it as a possible blessing: The Ritchie County Humane Society lists the animals they have for adoption in our local paper most weeks. This week, one of the listings is “The shelter also has a mule needing a good home. He hates shelter life.” If you want or need a mule for your farm, their number is 304-643-4721.

In these days, it’s a blessing that Dave did the right and honorable thing. If more companies would own up to their mistakes, things wouldn’t be so bad everywhere.

And it’s good to hear that Dave is going to try to prevent something like this happening in the future. That was really the point, after all.

I can respect a person more when they step up and owe to their mistakes, which Dave has done.
So thrilled to see a happy, satisfying ending!
