Saga of the broken breadmaker

Hi all. I lodged a "dispute" with eBay over the breadmaker fiasco, mainly because I did not want to leave negative feedback for this girl (she being new to eBay), and also because she would not answer my e-mails... I will be satisfied if she returns the $35, in a money order, same as I sent to her. I want her to learn a lesson from this so that she will be an honest eBayer and not give anyone else the hassle/grief she has given us. I could have left her negative feedback, but I felt that not only would I not get my money returned, but she might in some way harrass me, either via the mail or through others at eBay (paranoid somewhat I guess), so I felt the best course of action was to utilize eBay as the go-between. She answered the eBay inquiry and said she would refund the $35 in full, this Friday ("this Friday" seems to be a favorite phrase of hers). I responded that I would only accept a money order (no checks), same as what I sent her. She steadfastly maintains the breadmaker was new, but I have the scratches and black marks on the kneading blade to indicate otherwise.... Oh well, lesson learned. I will take that $35 and add some to it, and get myself a breadmaker here somewhere.

2/3 of a cheesecake, about a dozen chocolate jumbles, and half the pound cake remain to be eaten. I believe we all are feeling like chipmunks with full cheeks...nobody really wants anymore sweets, yet they don't deserve the trash heap either. I'm craving a good, fresh salad (good grief, I've been possessed by another soul, that certainly can't be coming from me!)
