    Today, out of the blue, without having heard from anybody I called, e-mailed and wrote snail mail to, I received a check from the Barons for the amount I spent on a new chill mat and on data recovery.

    The replacement laptop (provided by Dell under the terms of the warranty) is better than what I had, so I guess after two months of inconvenience, there's a somewhat good end to the story.

    That said, I don't wish any of this on my worst enemy.

    It's good to get reimbursed for what it cost me out of pocket. I'll consider the rest a character-building chapter in my life. Getting a lot of those this year.

    Oh, and finally, the radiology place that was trying to bill me for a bad MRI sent me a letter, after one last impassioned plea from me, saying they had closed my account at zero.

    Maybe I've got a little momentum going?

    JD: Lords knows you've been due for some positive news.

    Good for you! (and spend a buck on a mega-millions ticket for Friday night, too).

    Nah. If you did I'd have helped you out last weekend. [/inside joke] :D :D

    Glad to hear you got some good news. It is well-earned and well-deserved.

    Rest. Enjoy this. You've earned it.

    And it's good to know that some of these places will honor what they said they would do.

    When you win the Powerball, remember all your friends here and on the other board who called the Barons on your behalf and had the Barons' frugality on their Facebook status....
    Good things can happen, brother...
