- You really bursted my bubble. I'm shattered for life. See, I have one
- thing on my side that is a big advantage. God. I am a Christian, George.
- After praying about the situation I put it in God's hands. I felt since
- I put it in God's hands that I would un-dispute the credit card charge
- even before talking to someone again. (I did this on Sunday. They
- are not open on Sunday. This came about after hearing my Pastor preach.)
- God doesn't need that to win. When the credit card person asked why I
- was taking the dispute off, I told them the reason. They lauged and said
- "You really should not un-dispute it to proctect yourself." I did it anyway.
- Well Mr. Bubble Burster, I just got back from sending off a package
- for a refund. I think you can guess what the package was.

- P.S. Welcome to God's world.
