[TheForge] Post Vise Craziness (utah hotels, screwjob, OT)

Wed Feb 16 20:27:40 EST 2005

I was wondering, maybe she is blowing you off with some bad vibe
mumbo-jumbo because has a different real reason. Maybe she has a bigger
customer (at least from her perspective) that she's clearing the board
for. Any real or semi celebrities coming into town around your wedding
date? Maybe she's hoping you'd be so disgusted with the flaky brush off
that you'll go away in a huff.

I clicked on the link and I found myself overwhelmed in shallow feel
good platitudes so I closed the window before it ended. SHEESSHH.

This is probably good advice. I spoke with an attorney and he told me
we could do a demand letter in the vein you describe. She's the owner,
so I'm at the top of the flaky feelgood chainletter quasi-buddhist food
chain. Whoo. After the letter we hae decide about suing. 

We'll see. I don't really want to give her my money, but I want the
wedding to work more. We'll see how long that balance remains.
